From my 30 Day End CPS corruption challenge FaceBook page -Day 5-
Find potential media sources for our cause, as we know mainstream media won’t take our stories, if they are being paid off or whatever the reason.
Don’t just tell your story! Sell your story!
1.) Mention there are thousands of us families. This will benefit them by getting more viewers, likes, followers, all of us will share there stories. Show what we can do for them! In turn we are getting what we want exposure! So are they!
2.) Explain that they will be able to interview MANY more parents, with stories similar. This makes them not have to look for a story, we are dropping it in their lap, saving them time, energy.
3.) When selling, find common ground with person you are reaching out to. Example: If I were reaching out to NFL Patriots Tom Brady. I would not just ask him to share my story I would say something I know about him for instance he is working with a fundraising site for Disabled children, I would mention that I think it is really great that he is giving back and raising money for a worthy cause, ( mention where you seen this , on what website, you will have to take a little time researching, but its how you get results ) after complimenting them and stating where you seen them, explain why they would be an ideal candidate for advocating, “telling” our/your story. Why them? Again use compliments that are true and related to our story. Using Brady again, he is married has two children of his own, I’d say how he’s a hero to many and how he’s a wonderful husband and father , I’d mention the beautiful picture of him with his wife walking in the lake with his child on his shoulders, such a precious picture that tells a story. You can see the love for his life/family/wife/children in the picture! After that go into your story. Be brief but main parts that will grab attention, state how you feel about the system, then in closing ask if the person could assist you in sharing your story ect.
-Search truth seekers on Facebook who tell real stories of the real world ect. If you find email for them , is better than messaging in Facebook. Also you should have made an email with name and signature specifically for these reasons.
-search YouTube for same type of journalists and podcasts. Even random people who have a ton of followers work.
-Instagram some people on there are truthers ect look and see if there’s anyone who could share our story
Use your imagination, who can you reach out to that a lot of viewers will see our stories? Then research, keep a notebook with who you contact and when, so you can follow up, like a job.
Share with us here, the great ideas you came up with. Share good contacts so more of us can contact them, they will know their is “supply and demand” for these story types.
– If you get a good reply back, please share here or in my email.
Don’t get discouraged if they say they could not help you, bright side is that was one more person that just read YOUR story!!!
If you want me to read your letter before you send it, let me know, I can help you. Writing is my passion, and changing this system is my priority!
Good luck! Contact 10 people, I would do more. I do this daily. This is very valuable information that will help you.
