Publicize Your Publicity: Great Idea from a PR LEADER!

People are always asking me what to do with all the great media coverage they get with PR LEADS. Here's a great idea from Robert Livinsgtone of IdealCost.com.

If you can build followers with your blog and then get attention on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, you are more likely to drive people to your book site or Amazon page and make the sale. In this teleseminar, Marcia Reynolds will show how she integrated these tools to take her book to #1 on Amazon for Leadership and Management books for women and still keeps her in the top 10.

How to Build an Effective Media List That Generates Coverage for You

The most effective way to get your message to the media is to target the most interested reporters and avoid the ones who aren’t interested.
