Want to attract great freelance clients? You've probably tried content marketing and cold pitching – but what about PR?

My guest for this episode is Melissa Hobson, a PR consultant who is here to help us with how to get started with PR and get those all-important eyes and ears on our businesses. We discuss:

  • Why you shouldn't overlook PR as a strategy to attract clients
  • Melissa's "tea and biscuits" PR strategy
  • How to identify the right outlets and prepare your pitch
  • How to get over the fear of speaking to journalists
  • Planned vs spontaneous PR tactics
