Create relationships with reporters
• Find the person on your beat
• Follow and engage with them on social
• Then reach out to them via email (usually pretty easy to ﬁnd)
• Help them out with a story idea or a lead
NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR BUSINESS, YET.

Create a relationship with them
Not a match.com kind of relationship
Engage with them on social, but as you would with a friend, not
pushing your business or your own agenda
Let it happen organically
Reporters are nosey, they’ll broach the subject

Don’t go in blind
Start local and branch out from there
We have dozens of templates like this
one to help you along the way

Add an “As Seen In” section on your site
And link to the posts!

Schedule social posts every month or so

I was able to use 1000 Four to teach my
team how to maintain a business. That
way, I could focus on growing it, rather
than working on the day-to-day.
Xerxes Nabong
Founder, Escape Room Virginia Beach
Since joining 1000 Four, not only have
measurable things like sales and web
traffic increased, but my determination
and confidence have grown as well.
Jeanne Fiocca
Founder, Cookie Text
I was able to get honest criticism and
feedback by being surrounding by entre-
preneurs and business owners who can
understand the struggles I was going
through. I would never have been able to
reach my goal without 1000 Four

Not just the “Big Boys”
Get testimonials from companies of all
different styles & sizes
You want to appeal to everyone possible

Create a simple graphic to share
In the posts:
- Tag the person or company
- Promotes engagement
- They’ll share on their channels
and grant you more exposure

Hey client,
It's been a blast working with you and seeing your product/ser-
vice grow. We'd love to feature you on our site and throughout
our channels. Can you provide a sentence or two about the expe-
rience you had with us?
That's it, we will do the rest of the work.
Thanks,
Name

One challenge to this is the amount of time it can take for you to
get a quote from them.
So during the working process, during phone calls or email ex-
changes, keep your eyes and ears open for anything they say that
could qualify as a testimonial, and write it down when they say it.
Then afterwards, you can go back and say “You said this, can I
use it as a testimonial”
Much easier for them to just say yes than to think up a quote
themselves.

No matter what kind of review they leave, always follow up and
ask why.
Good or bad, this info will provide useful insight into what you’re
doing well, and what you could be doing better.
You can also incentivize people to write a review with some sort of
value exchange

Hey client or fans,
We love you and we love being able to help you. We are working on
increasing our exposure on Facebook/Yelp/Google and would love
if you could go to this link and provide a review of our company. It
would mean the word to us. + we just gave you a series of reviews
as well. You can see them here.
Thank you so much for your help.
Thanks,
Name

EVERGREEN CONTENT:
Evergreen content is content that is perpetually relevant—much
like the way evergreen trees retain their leaves all year around.
Interesting and relevant content that does not become dated is a
large component of being found online by search engines.

If possible, download the ﬁle and host it on your own website.
If not, just take the link to where it is hosted and create a post on
your site talking about your experience on the podcast, with a link
out to the page.

Find other talks from the same podcast and reach out to those
people.
Share their stories, maybe they’ll reciprocate.
Use it to build new friends.

If you have a small business, and you’re looking to make it
bigger, you’re looking to make it better, then start with
Hatch. There’s nothing better than saying you’re moving
out of the startup phase. I have my own ofﬁce, Im on the
board for the Chamber of Commerce, I was in Richmond
last week lobbying with legislators. And it all started with
me being an entrepreneur who met another entrepreneur
who said “hey we have a path for you” and for $30 a month,
it was the best purchase I could possibly have made.
