To be a top expert in your field you will need to have a vast knowledge of the issues facing your industry. Don't worry, it's not hard and it's not a lot of work to do this. The first thing to do is to identify your major areas of expertise and then create sub-categories that reflect the reality for each one. For example if you are a career expert you can talk about how to get a job in a tough economy, how to get hired when everyone else is not, or how to position yourself to get hired in the future. You see, there are lots of ways to apply your talent and knowledge to the issues at hand.
Create a well-developed author or expert BIO that stacks your most impressive accomplishments from the top down to support your expert status. The media will read just enough to convince them that you are their perfect expert. Lead with your credentials and education, special areas of expertise, and follow with accomplishments or companies you have worked for and any impressive media you have obtained. Develop your media contact database in advance. Know who you are going to contact in advance. Don't wait until a breaking news event happens where they need an expert to start to figure out who to contact. You'll want to make connections in advance.
Make contact with your media targets in advance to let them know you are standing by for them the next time they need for example, a Workplace Expert or a Legal Analyst. Send your expert status qualifications and topic areas, BIO and your complete contact information including home and cell phone. When the media moves, they move fast. Experts are well-read. Look for articles in major national newspapers and magazines that tie into your area of expertise. TV shows get ideas for programming everywhere. Once you spot a national article that you can expand upon or offer commentary on, you will want to contact the media using your contact database. Then send your talking points, bio, phone numbers, and of course, mention the article or breaking news event to which you are pegging your pitch.
When news happens where you are the expert and can comment send out a notice to your contact database. Include your contact info and availability so they can connect with you quickly. Be completely ready and able to drop everything to talk to the media, appear on a radio show or go down to your TV studio for an interview. One thing is true; the media moves very fast and appreciates immediate access to you.
Media training is your key to success. Invest in a few good sessions that teach you how to be a top notch media analyst. Everyone has some trouble spots they need to address and media training gives you the chance to make these changes in advance of your TV spot or radio appearance. Some people speak real slowly with a lot of "ummmm's" throughout their commentary. This style of speech is not appropriate for the news or an interview on the radio or with a journalist as it does not compel anyone to listen and most people watching or listening will get distracted. Plus, speaking without command of your knowledge pegs you as an amateur and the media will have no choice but to move on.
