Getting quoted is the start, not the finish

Getting quoted is the start, not the finish

Many people celebrate a published quote and then forget about it. The quote keeps working only if you help it.

Think of it like planting a seed. The article is the seed; a little care afterward is what grows it.

Here's how to make one quote do more:

— 1. Save the link in a list called "As featured in."
— 2. Thank the reporter so they remember you next time.
— 3. Share the article once, tagging the outlet kindly, not braggingly.

That saved list becomes proof for future pitches: "previously quoted in X and Y." Reporters trust sources other reporters have already trusted.

One quote, used well, makes the next one easier to win. The relationship matters more than the single mention.

Try this today: start an "As featured in" list and add any article that's ever named you, even an old one.
