How to pitch your product without coming off like a scumbag.
intresting
Yes i tend to be a scumbag when in pitch my product. Interesting post.

The press releases themselves, appear on the search engines and can bring traffic long after they have been issued. Why not SEO it to get it higher for relevent keywords???
Also if they are picked up other sources – including blogs and feeds – the backlinks that can be given to your site can be helpful
In terms of PR Web, you really do not get that much traffic directly, but sometimes all it takes if just one large order to more than break even from the cost of the release
Liked it. But most beginners really need to be at least a bit of a scumbag to pitch their first product (not talking about any kind of spam though).
I listened to the whole show and I found it quite useful and took away some good tips from it! I even visited Chris’s site and emailed him for some info.
Great show, definitely was worth listening too. Thanks Shoe
GREAT show…minus the ‘caller’ who got cut-off…all in all fairly interesting. I think it can be extremely difficult to pitch your product w/o coming off like a ‘scumbag’
Can we no longer download episodes?
I take it back, I can download it via the podcast RSS feed.
Shoe, Thanks for sharing that
Very Educational!
This is great episode. Thanks a lot!
At my real job, we work with both a PR firmand our SEO firm to do just this. One or two releases isn’t gonna get you out of te clutter, we trying to do a major release 4x a month and 2 minor releases per month as well.
Nice episode.
Sweet. Not exactly topics I was expecting but still great!
Awesome podcast! As expected.
I was curious about this and believe that I had a post asking about it. Thank you for putting it up on your site!
very intresting
Great job Jeremy, I like the videos better.
I loved the show…..Big fan of Chris W. and 10e20
I was surprised how little credit was given to the power of a press release. I always felt it was a nice arrow to have in the quiver, for a few key reasons. (link building and reputation management to name a few)
Overall —Great Stuff!

Another great show. well done
As long as your product is worth it and as long as you don’t have a “here’s the link, blog about it” attitude, most people will gladly look into it.
As website owners, we often forget about PR…at least some of us do! I think its a good reminder. good advice.
Thank you for good information
Thanks for the helpful info. I’m going ot have to listen a second time and take notes.
Yeah the show really elaborated alot of the aspects of PR web relations. Yeah defintely going to take down some notes as well.
i need to listen to this unfortunately can’t do it right now but bookmarking it in my todo list once i get back
eh looks like the stuff covered is way above me. until next time I guess.
good information, thanks for the info.
In a way a lot of Blogs do PR and don’t really realize it… Everytime you do a milestone post, which talks about traffic, or top commenters, etc. it really is PR. You are telling peaople how sucessful you are, how much content you have or just..HEY I am here!
You should apply PR principles to those posts as well!
Thanks for this. I was sending a press release over the weekend for my new coupon site and this really helped with some decisions.
Another great show.
My problem is Chris fails to explain how the only reason why his company is worth a penny is because of Danielle. Chris, you know it, I know it, we all know it. Lanzillo (spell check) is the reason why you got the business you do, be honest buddy.
As always…very interesting and informative, thanks!
First time I came across this site, Great stuff! I have heard about it but never visited it. A new regular visitor – Thanks
Absolutely great, like before. Thanks all
As always great stuff.
Thanks for this great post..I was planning for press release and this really helps me
Thanks for the post keep them coming i have bookmarked it.
