Today, we’re going to try and sell reprints again, but this time with a twist. Instead of a bulk marketing effort, I want you to note down the name of each article in a spreadsheet if you haven’t already, and next to each one, write down three specialty markets for it. For instance, I once wrote a piece for a women’s magazine on the ladies’-only train in India. It’s a great women’s story, it’s also a very good general-interest piece. You know who else I sold it to? Trains magazine.

A piece on a unique project for breast cancer survivors, along with going to women’s interest magazines or newspapers, could also go to cancer research newsletters or magazines that deal exclusively with cancer topics. Similarly, that piece on taking one day at a time that you wrote for the parenting magazine could also be a great fit for a magazine for practicing Buddhists.
