One of the easiest ways to get media features and build valuable business relationships online is to create and publish a Top Five Tips release that offers valuable information to your market. These tips can also help position you as an expert in your field.

I have included a quick Top Five Tips on How to Create Your Top Five Tips below:

1) When writing/compiling your tips, ask yourself this question- Why in the heck should I care? When you ask this question you will find that it will help you come up with tips that are different, of interest and valuable.

2) The best top tips are based on an angle or advice that none of your competitors can come close to matching or knowing, what do you know about your industry or market that they don’t?

3) Avoid general tips and general titles- ex: Top Five Steps to Create a Business Plan (boring) OR Top Five Ways to Create a Business Plan in 1 Hour or Less!

4) Keep the subject line or the title short and catchy. Ask yourself- “would I read or open this?”

5) Keep your tips down to one page, no more than 2 sentences per tip, the shorter, the better, you can always elaborate for the media and turn it into an article.

6) BONUS TIP- Publish these tips on your blog and link back from your postings on social networking sites to your blog. You never know who will read them! It never fails, every time that I post top five tips, I get a media outlet or blog that wants to pick it up, share or publish.
