Getting inspiration for your next story just got easier! Now, when you browse the Story Ideas tab from your feed or dashboard, you’ll see a new Find More Experts button next to Start a Conversation.

With one click, you can turn a trending topic into a Source Request, gathering expert perspectives to shape your next piece and keep the conversation going.

How Does It Work?

  1. Find a Story Idea: Browse the Story Ideas tab to explore trending stories and spark inspiration for your next piece.

  2. Click Find More Experts: This button automatically generates a new source request based on the Story Idea.

  3. Customize Your Request: Fine-tune your request by adjusting the angle, adding specific questions, and setting a response deadline.

  4. Publish and Wait for Insights: Once submitted, your request goes live on Qwoted, where our community of vetted experts can weigh in and help shape your story.

Pro Tips for Getting the Best Responses

Want high-quality insights? Keep these tips in mind when using the Find More Experts feature:

  • Find Your Angle: A strong angle will help relevant experts find your request.

  • Get Specific: Adding as many details as possible when creating your request will help us better match you with the right sources.

  • Include Outlet Info: Including the name of the outlet you’re writing for will help with the quality and quantity of pitches you receive. If you’re working with a smaller outlet, adding information about demographics and reach will encourage more responses from PRs and experts.

  • Reach Out to the Media Success Team: We have an entire team dedicated to helping you post Source Requests, find experts, and conduct manual outreach. Drop us a line at mediasuccess@qwoted.com to get connected!
