How to Pitch an Article (and Get an Enthusiastic Response)

If you want to write about anything you’d like, as often as you’d like, there’s a place for that: Your own website. But sooner or later it will come time to learn how to pitch an article.

Publishing posts on your own blog is a modern privilege that gives writers the freedom to digitally share their work publicly. And they can potentially reach any reader with an internet connection.

Can you imagine going back in history and telling that to professional writers who only wrote on paper? Scribes whose only readers were those in physical possession of their writing?

They’d surely be amazed.

But today we may miss out on ways to spread our writing, because we’re not as accustomed to the practices our writer predecessors had to use.

Running Up That Hill

I don't know about you, but where I live, radio stations are playing Kate Bush's 1985 song "Running Up That Hill" on a heavy rotation — every-hour-on-the-hour heavy.

If you listen to the radio on your drive to one location, you'll likely hear the song on that trip, as well as on your drive to your next location.

How and why did this happen?

The cheeky answer is that Kate Bush was ahead of her time (we'll get to that in a second). The more straightforward answer is that season 4 of the Netflix series Stranger Things recently featured the song. It then became one of the top 10 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in June.

While "Running Up That Hill" climbed the music charts when it was originally released, there's a newfound appreciation for the song in 2022 because Bush (who rarely licenses her music) allowed it to be used in an episode of a popular show.

You can never fully predict what's going to happen once you release your work into the world — especially when you happen to craft content that gets more and more relevant as the years go on. Creativity is not linear, but it's never a waste.

Besides helping you with your current business goals, your groundbreaking creations always have the potential to reach a whole new (and perhaps even larger) audience decades and decades later.

Think it's time to start publishing and promoting your most brilliant ideas?
