Real press coverage - anyone interested?

So the past month has involved the annual press spotlight on one of our non-profit projects.

Including a call from one journalist or another at least one per day for every day of the month, up to several per day from local, state and national... print, radio and tv.

I have learnt quite a bit from working with the media over the past several years, including how to promote a website alongside key messages.

I'm thinking of taking some time in January to write up notes on how to handle the media and get what you have to say covered and promote a website during news coverage.

I wanted to gauge interest from DP members in this kind of information.

If there is interest, I might end up running drafts past those who express their interest.

 

Dominic, I think this would be a superb idea. If theres one thing I am not experienced on when running a business is media and PR. I don't mind you running any drafts through me neither.

I'd be very interested in seeing it - it sounds like a great idea!

 

I for one think this is a fantastic idea.

Good Online promotion is ofcourse important but I think that any good webmaster should also try to master the art of promotion on other media as well.

Best of luck and feel free to ask for a review of your material.

 

I think it's a great idea. I actually thinking about it the other day - how to promote a website with PR when the media comes knocking at your door.

 

Any PR and media advice from someone with experience would be a fantastic resource. I personally am involved with a number of projects in the new year that are very newsworthy and would benefit tremendously from some decent press exposure.

Any ideas you'd like to share would be much appreciated. I for one would find this information very useful indeed.

 

Rightio chaps... will put some work into it and see what I can offer.

Anyone else want to indicate their interest or volunteer to read a draft post here. Cheers.

 

I would certainly be interested as well. Seems like a good way to learn something about a topic I don't have many experiences with yet.

 

I'd be interested in this...do you plan to offer your information in the future as a course or ebook? With all of the standard Internet marketing stuff out there, it would be refreshing to read something that combines IM with offline promotion efforts.

That's pretty cool, I'd love to get the press to know about my latest PSP hacks/news.

Definitely keep us updated!

 

Dominic....saw the article in the Gold Coast Bulletin that you were involved in.
From memory prime position, page 3, took up most of the page and was very good.

Yes folks he knows what he is talking about

 

Thanks for the endorsement! Great to see there is interest for it, will have to get cracking.

I'll draft up an outline of what I plan to cover and see how much there is to it, and take advice from those of you who proof read it as to how to make it available, e.g. on website or ebook etc.

 

very much interested!

 

Sounds very interresting

 

I've started today... holy bagoly what an exercise. My mind is going in a zillion directions sooooooo much to cover!

While it's only just dawned on me how much of a job this will be I do think it's worth writing up as it's so easy to get in the media the free advertising is heaps worth it, you just have to know how to do it.

 

I'd be very interested to read your stuff

 

dear dominic...

dont forget to add me in ur list....i'm also very much interested.

and all the best man...

Please add me as well, I would be very interested in reading this!

 

Righto, if you let me know in this thread you are on the list.

Have been doing some more work on it, but still looks like late January.

 

Looking forward to it - while a slogan of the media is "don't worry about being right, just be first", I'd suggest an opposite approach is better ...
