I was wondering if you had any connections in the media. I helped start a political satire website (http://thewashingtonfancy.com/ http://thewashingtonfancy.com/) and have been spending a lot of time on our marketing. We already have a fairly robust facebook and twitter and I feel like the next big step for us would be to get some media attention. If you have any means of doing so, or any other marketing tips, it would be greatly appreciated. Also I filled out the WuFoo form. Thanks!
- mikegreenberg 15y agoThanks so much for helping. Unfortunately, I'm still a little meager on the media end of the network. I know some local technology writers, but I don't know if there's an angle there for them with what you're doing. From the looks of it, you've got some decent content to get running with. Fortunately, your site is ripe for catching the coattails of big news stories. If your satire is edgy enough while not crossing the line, you might bring to light some interesting points of view (through the absurdity of the story). Sometimes this could get you mentioned in editorials, or other writers who are covering an incident/event from all sides. (And probably a lot of SEM traffic, as well.) Another suggestion is to write specific pieces in direct response to easily criticized pieces on other beats. Audiences love counter-point (especially when the topic is juicy at the time) and will flock to your content more easily.
