I’ve tried PR in the past and have felt that it wasn’t taken seriously by my local papers and so, I’ve not spent any more time in looking to promote my business through press releases. It seems like spending my time trying to build direct relationship with clients through Social Media and not with journalists is a better use of my time.
Great episode Conrad had some great stuff to say. PR is so so important when starting a company especially an online business. I really enjoyed the conversation. WPelevation at its best!
I have a marketing agency and interested in where or what angles one might take to get some hits. Interested to hear what the community has on possible story ideas also. Click my agency Disqus name above…see my ABOUT page. Looking forward to connecting with all who have ideas. Cheers Brent.
What is holding me back is I have wasted money in the past on PR campaigns. After listening to this episode I can see that a structured approach like publicize could over come this.
