Stephen’s comment sparked something I’ve been thinking about for a while. To flip the table a bit:

I’ve been having an issue (mostly with print journalists), that when they do pick up my story, they never let me know. Let me know please. Just send me a quick email going “Cool, I’m on it.”

I don’t want to have to dig around. Unlike most PR folk, I don’t blast releases around. I target specifically to them. I tailor almost every letter. Why? I have very specialized sites I’m talking about. If I spent the time and energy specially crafting a letter to you, don’t just ignore it.

I don’t expect a response for everything. But if you like the story and you write about it, please let me know. That’d be nice.

Gosh, you’re funny as hell! I saw that at SOBCon08 so I wasn’t surprised when you humorously told the guy who tried to send you a press release to at least pretend he gave a rats ass about you and read your “stupid little blog” (as you put it).

Oh good Lord, that made me let out a rip-roaring belly laugh. That was so good – it was so spontaneous. Felt great. While I was laughing, I surely got your point. At least get to know you, right? Why can’t people just take the time to connect? I’ll never understand that.

Anyway, I love your blog. I plan to come back time and time again. :)

Getting your product out there is about building relationships with a wide range of people, whether it’s journalists, bloggers or industry influencers.

The key to successful outreach, whoever your target may be, is investing in relationships, through open communications at a one-on-one level.

While some people have commented that there are PR folks getting “lazy” – I think it is more about understanding how to navigate the new challenges that social media presents. The game has changed, and at times it can be difficult to know all the new rules.
