Sourcebottle’s Bec Derrington on creating a resource for journalists and content creators

This week, Rachel and Lynne are chatting to a different style of guest - Bec Derrington from Sourcebottle. Sourcebottle is a fabulous resource for journalists, writers and content creators and one we both use regularly. 

Bec shares the story behind Sourcebottle - why she started it and how it works. During our wide-ranging chat we talk about:

• Her background in PR and how she saw the gap in the market
• The challenges in running a small business
• The changing media landscape
• How she connects journalists with sources and industry experts 
• Some of the weird and wonderful callout requests she's had
• How to craft a callout that will give you the experts you need for your story
• How she deals with the 'pick your brains' conversations
• The challenges of maintaining a huge mailout list
