Submit an Interview to Gaebler.com

Posted: November 23rd, 2008 by Jeff

I came across this free PR source in HARO a couple of months ago. Gaebler.com features resources for entrepreneurs, including articles on a broad range of topics and profiles of success stories.

Most of the content seems to be submitted by visitors to the site, including the articles and the entrepreneur profiles. The profiles are in an interview format, although the interview is self-conducted using a downloadable template from the site. I submitted one on our experience starting our Video Production Company, and the best part is that you basically have editorial control over the article.

To submit your own interview, go here to download their form. Expect it to take a few weeks to be featured on the site.

Get Free PR from HARO

Posted: November 23rd, 2008 by Jeff

Who doesn’t like free PR? You’re an expert in your field and chances are that there’s a reporter out there looking for a source just like you.

That’s where Peter Shankman’s free HARO or ‘Help A Reporter Out‘ newsletter comes in. Enter your email address to receive up to three emails daily, each with 15-30 queries from reporters looking for experts in a wide variety of fields.

I signed up about 2 months ago and have managed to find and reply to about 6 inquiries that were relevant to my company. Of these, only 2 were successful - Maybe not the best rate of success, but it only takes a minute to scan through each email, and over time I’m sure these will add up. And as most PR experts will tell you, it’s often the on-going relationships you can develop with reporters that will really pay off.
