Ask HN: What have you always wanted to know about getting PR?
I'm hosting a panel of journalists, agencies and founders who've had success in pitching their startups to press this upcoming Wednesday in NYC (http://plancast.com/p/2oyi) and I'm looking to hear from startups the parts of getting PR they always wanted to know. List your questions below and we'll answer them on Wednesday!
- Concours 16y agohow to write a pitch email?
- user24 16y agoHow to reach your audience without one-at-a-timing. Example: I'm trying to build an audience for my project weddingbudgetbuddy.com, I'm posting on wedding forums, I've been blogging to get some google juice and I plan to start emailing some related blogs for link exchanges etc. But these all feel like I'm aiming for terribly small wins. Like, even if everyone I email puts a link up, what can I expect, ten links? a hundred? We're not talking about massive PR here are we really!? So yeah, I have no money to spend at all and I want to get to number one on a google search for "wedding budget", how can I do that?
- daveambrose 16y agoCould clarify a bit more?
- user24 16y agoI feel like all my PR efforts are focused on sending one email to one person and hoping to get one link back from it, or writing one blog post and hoping google will pick it up. Surely there are more efficient ways to promote myself than this one-at-a-time approach.
- marquis 16y agoIs it worth hiring a PR company? If so, how do you go about selecting the company that is best suited for your area of business, and what kinds of returns would be expected for their rates.
