Attention-grabbing PR stories are the lifeblood of successful entrepreneurship.
To get ahead in an increasingly competitive market, it's not enough to simply have a great product or service—you need to build a buzz around your business that resonates with your target audience.
This means mastering the art of storytelling and generating earned media coverage through a well-planned PR campaign.
Focusing on talking points and ideas that showcase your unique value proposition, you can turn your business into a newsworthy success story that catches the eye of influential media outlets and grabs the attention of potential customers.
But there's a problem for founders, small brands, and solopreneurs: traditionally, earned media outlets have only been reserved for big-named brands and are usually guarded by some mysterious gatekeepers they cannot penetrate.
If that sounds like you, don't worry. I have good news!

Here are the steps Kayley suggests to craft a compelling PR story that generates organic earned media:
Identify your unique selling points, achievements, or qualities ("Name Drop!").

"Rather than thinking, 'I'm getting media exposure just to highlight myself,' it's more so like, 'I'm getting media exposure to provide value and make an impact and reach people who are waiting to hear from me. Who's out there, who needs to hear from me, who needs to hear my story, resonate with my journey, who I can inspire...?'" - Kayley Hamilton
