Get cash for your story

If you have a story that you think people will want to hear about, you should consider selling it to the press. It doesn't matter whether you want to kiss and tell or expose a political scandal, newspapers are always looking for stories.

Contacting a news agency like Cash 4 Your Story is a good way to get started. These professional organisations have a wealth of media contacts and experience, so they can secure a great deal. When you give them the details of your story, they should immediately have an idea what it's worth and the newspapers likely to buy it.

When you have agreed that you're comfortable with their ideas, the agency will speak with their network of press contacts to secure a deal for you. If the subject of your story is currently popular, you could receive numerous offers.

If you are happy with what is being offered, contracts will be sent to you. These legally binding documents contain details of payment amounts and dates, so that you know exactly what will happen. All you need to do is sign the contract and return a copy.

Once the signed contract is received by the publication, you will be interviewed by a professional reporter. They will write the article and read it back to you, so you can check all the details are correct.

If you can supply additional evidence for your story, like pictures and video, your story is likely to be worth more to the press. That's because the article will be more believable and sell more copies. However, most professional agencies will be able to guarantee your anonymity if you would prefer.

You could get as much as £40,000 for your story, so contact a news agency today to see how much you could earn.
