www.bikesportnews.com is launching a rider media training course. And it's free.
Right, that's got your attention. You're a rider, you don't get any press attention. Why? We have the answers. The Riders' Media Course wil be a one or two-day seminar, depending on demand, outlining skills such as how to write press releases, getting coverage in local newspapers, what to do when someone from the media comes to talk to you, not sticking your finger up in front of the camera when Andrew Pitt falls off, that sort of thing.
The seminar will be hosted by me, David Miller, Editor, www.bikesportnews.com. And why am I an expert at this? Ok. Here's why: I am trained and qualified newspaper journalist. I spent 15 years working at MCN Sport, Bike, RiDE, Performance Bikes, What Bike? and shit. 
Guest speakers:

David Rowell
