Let’s be real — monthly publications are already working on their early 2015 issues. But with so much original content being created for their companion web sites, it’s not too late to pursue end of year coverage opportunities.
“Year in Review/Year Ahead” articles can usually be found just about everywhere this time of year. So reach out to your favorite industry and/or local publications now to offer your thoughts on highlights from 2014 and predictions for the year ahead.
A great format that editors typically love is a “Top 5” list. (Or any numerical variation you prefer.) You can convey short bites of information that can be incredibly insightful yet succinct. Just the way so many readers like it.
So hop to it! Reach out now. You may be surprised at the great opportunities you’ll secure in the weeks leading into year’s end.
