How To Get Free Press

The site is HelpAReporter.com and I discovered it a few weeks ago. It's free to register and how it works is like this. Every day, at least once or twice a day, you'll receive an email from HARO for the category or categories you select, which gives you a list of a number of specific topics reports are looking for experts on. Then they give you an email address to contact the reporter doing the story. They suggest when you respond you keep it "simple, straightforward and concise"....it's the best way to represent yourself.

Then see what happens.

So I've been getting these emails for a couple weeks now and I KNOW that there are many of you who are members of WCDA who could potentially benefit from receiving these emails and contacting reporters regularly. Here's a few examples. The first is from the "business" category.

I know many of you on my list and I know for a fact that there are social media experts, tax and accounting experts, resume experts and bridal salon owners who are receiving this email right now. You guys need to get these emails and quickly check them every day.

Here's another example from the "lifestyle" category:

Now if there isn't a kids playground owner, divorce expert, adventure travel consultant, nutritionist, fashionista, woman who has started a business with her spouse, gratitude expert or a time management expert receiving this...then I'll be shocked.

Again..I can't stress enough how cool this site is (http://www.helpareporter.com) and how much you need to get these emails. It's totally free and could dramatically change your business...so what are you waiting for?

Oh...and btw...can you let me know of any other "free press" opportunities you know of ...please leave comments below to share with the WCDA network...Cheers.
