How to Use Publicity Alerts!

To get started, sign up as a HARO source (http://www.helpareporter.com/sources/free?cid=70180000000oueY&utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=FreeHARO-Prospect%20target=). Three times a day, HARO emails you a list of queries from journalists and bloggers who need sources like you for their stories. Each alert is categorized by topic and contains deadlines, reporter contact information, and a brief summary of what the reporter is looking for.

You can reply to any query in the publicity alert, as long as you follow the rules: your pitch needs to be on-topic, respectful, relevant, and you only contact the reporter once per story.

Because publicity alerts are crowdsourced, reporters often receive several replies to the same pitch. But your story can stand out. Here are some ways to increase your chances of being one of the thousands of businesses generating publicity through HARO.

1. Be prepared.

Read your Publicity Alerts as soon as they arrive to get a head-start on the other business sources you’re competing with. You should also create a clear, well-written “elevator pitch” about your expertise, service or product to have on hand when you need it.

 
2. Keep it simple.

Your pitch needs to sell your business, product or brand in a compelling, concise, and informative way. Keep your entire response to three short paragraphs, with no more than three or four sentences in each.

 
3. Don’t give up.

While follow-up is an essential part of PR, it’s considered rude (and against the rules) to chase reporters found through a Publicity Alert if they don’t respond to your pitch. Instead, keep looking. Thousands of other opportunities pop up each week; sooner or later, you’ll find the perfect opportunity for your business.

The more you hone your message, tailor your response to a story, and pitch your experience or expertise where appropriate, the better chance you’ll have. Happy pitching!

Facebook must go mobile to conquer the world, says Coke exec

Facebook must get mobile right in order to help brands reach consumers in the developing world, says Coca-Cola Marketing Senior Vice President Wendy Clark.

Many millions of low-income consumers access the Web through mobile phones, so it’s imperative for Facebook to offer brands ways to reach consumers via mobile applications and ads.

“Facebook is the Internet for them,” said Clark, who is also a Facebook adviser.

“If you start to cut into emerging and developing markets, the mobile phone is the easiest and most direct medium that we can reach consumers with,” added Clark.

What’s The Difference Between A Peddler & A Sales Person?

A peddler is someone who comes to your home or office. He informs you that you need what he has to sell. The full intent of this person is to insist that you buy.

A salesperson is someone who comes to your home or office. (However, this is where the similarity ends.) The salesperson asks, “What do you need?” Or, “What do you want?” Then, the salesperson fills that need or want.

With this in mind, isn’t it easier to understand why most of us are sales-resistant? If you had a choice, which of these two sales professionals would you prefer approach you? The peddler or the sales person?

Which of the two would your prospects judge you to be?

Have a great sales day!

Raggedy Ends Productions, LLC, Reaches Essential Benchmark To Bring Psycho Thriller MoHawk Salon To The Big Screen By Year-End 2013

Contributions & fundraising continue toward $1.5 million goal

It’s up to Chicago detective Sam Mitchell to solve the ongoing serial murders of dozens of Afro-American hairdressers, whose scalped remains are being hung like trophies to their salon mirrors. As a rookie in the late 1970s, Sam covered a grisly crime scene in Harlem, where a Native American woman was murdered and scalped, her baby missing. That case was never solved. Is the troubled Black cop up to the task of restoring order to the city?

Raggedy Ends Productions has taken the unusual tact of raising money in an organic fashion, via its website mohawksalonfilm.com

This is the tantalizing tale of “MoHawk Salon,” a psycho thriller from Los Angeles- and New York York-based Raggedy Ends Productions, LLC. The company is continuing fundraising efforts to reach its benchmark of $1.5 million to fund production and bring the full-length movie to 2,000 screens by year-end 2013.

“We are screaming out loud as we continue to inch closer to this pivotal goal in our campaign to take ‘MoHawk Salon’ to the big screen,” says Raggedy Ends Productions Executive Producer and the film’s screenwriter Veronica Page. “America has an insatiable appetite for adventure thrillers, and we cannot wait to share this societal exploration and singular mystery-crime drama with film viewers across the nation.”

Raggedy Ends Productions has taken the unusual tact of raising money in an organic fashion, via its website mohawksalonfilm.com, allowing fans and followers to donate any amount in exchange for their name appearing in the film’s end credits—or for a $50 donation, receiving a glossy 11″x17″ signed by Veronica Page. The campaign was launched in November 2012, with an intended deadline of Fall 2013.

Ultimately, “MoHawk Salon” is a story about love crossing the barriers of tradition, culture and ethnicity—set in a tumultuous period in American history—because of the love between an African-American man and a Native American woman. It features some 65 speaking roles, with the film’s trailer available on mohawksalonfilm.com.

“The support has been so gratifying,” Page adds. “We are within reach of bringing our labor of love to film buffs and thriller fans. Our tag line is, ‘Some sounds will haunt you forever!’ We can’t wait to engage viewers with an experience they will never forget.”

The Easy Way To Build A List And Send Out Money-Making Emails On Auto-Pilot

Why you must build a list!

If I was to tell you one thing and one thing only about internet marketing, I would tell you the following: Build a list! And the reason is simple. It’s a lot harder to get a new customer then it is to sell to an existing one: Fact.

It’s all about control. When you have a list built you can drive traffic at will to any site you choose that is in line with what your subscribers want, and that means that you can effectively write your own pay check. Any time you want traffic, you have it there on tap without having to pay for it or write boring articles and make endless forum posts.

When you build your list you are creating an asset that is worth money. You are investing in your future. It’s time to stop thinking short-term and let internet marketing look after you long term.

Why you need to keep in contact with your list!

What would happen if your girlfriend or boyfriend didn’t contact you for weeks? Would you assume the relationship was over? Would you be annoyed? How quickly would you pick up the phone when they called again? Well here’s the thing. It works the same with your subscribers – you are in a relationship with them and you need to show them love!

You need to keep in contact with them and maintain the relationship to get sales. Your relationship and the quality of it is the most important thing that you have. Without it you are just another mail in their inbox waiting to get deleted.

The internet is one big bag of distractions so you need to maintain your presence in the eyes of your subscribers and keep in front of them. When you manage to keep in front to them and maintain the relationship the money will follow.

Just like what happened at the last event, in Austin, where participants packed out the room to capacity (over 4,000 people strong), and they had an army of people submit support tickets and call their “not so corporate” office furiously because they couldn’t get a ticket to the event.

“If you want to get a ticket to any Empower event, you have to act fast — because they ALWAYS sell out fast and thousands of people end up getting locked out,” says Jack, thus pointing to the fact that when people from Empower Network all gather in one room together it’s almost as if there’s a “magical” power that guides the direction of what happens.
