Earn Free Pitch Credits with Man on the Street (MOTS) Requests 

Exciting news! Starting this week on Qwoted, you can earn one free pitch credit each month by responding to a Man on the Street (MOTS) request.  

If you’re new to MOTS (sometimes called “vox pop”), these brief interviews gather real perspectives on specific topics to give journalists a snapshot of public opinion. On Qwoted, these requests are free to pitch to and are a great way to make your voice heard. 

In return for sharing your insights, we’ll reward you with free pitch credits so you can access even more opportunities within our network. 

How to Unlock Your Free Pitch Credit

1. Submit a MOTS Pitch: Pitch MOTS opportunities the same way you submit to Expert Requests. Remember to include all relevant information requested by the media user and only pitch the opportunity if it is relevant to you or your source’s real-life experiences. 
2. Wait a Few Days: After submitting your pitch, keep an eye on your account for your free pitch unlock. It typically takes 2–3 business days for the credit to show up, so don’t worry if you don’t see it right away.
3. Pitch As Often As You’d Like: Remember that MOTS requests are free to pitch to. Even though you can only unlock one free pitch credit a month, regularly submitting to relevant MOTS opportunities is a great way to sharpen your pitching skills. 

We can’t wait to see how you’ll contribute to these MOTS opportunities, especially since this is just one of many exciting updates we’ve got in store for Qwoted in 2025. As always, if you have any questions, we’re all ears. Happy pitching!
