âTo ïŹnd something comparable you
have to go back 500 years to the
printing press, the birth of mass media.
Technology is shifting power away
from the editors, the publishers, the
establishment, the media elite. Now itâs
the people who are taking control.â
Rubert Murdoch
We have a Web 2.0 media revolution on our hands

âSomething remarkable is worth talking
about. Worth noticing. Exceptional. New.
Interesting. Itâs a Purple Cow. Boring
stuff is invisible. Itâs a brown cow. âŠ
Remarkable marketing is the art of
building things worth noticing right into
your product or service.â
Seth Godin

Pitching Bloggers
An Effective 5-Point Plan
Get a blog - and post your story to it
Use Google Blog Search/Google PageRank to identify
inïŹuential blogs around your keywords
Contact bloggers directly by email (use IM/blog
contact form to make ïŹrst contact) with link and short
summary of your post, referring to one of their posts
relevant to your story
Offer a new angle to your post and include multimedia
links (Donât send/attach PR SPAM (aka a Press
Release)) - offering incentives is ok
If you donât get a reply, post a public comment to a
relevant post on their blog with a link to your story
