Recently wanted to do an article featuring advice for new PR grads on entering a tough job marketing.<BR/><BR/>The response I got from HARO was unbelievable...turned 1 post into a whole series.<BR/><BR/>Phil is right, it does take some time to sort through the 3 daily emails. But the pay-off is completely worth the effortAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-663263606037742911.post-15900449427249656382008-06-07T20:03:00.000-07:002008-06-07T20:03:00.000-07:00I've gotten a lot of use out of HARO.

So when I can offer my clients a chance at free publicity, it's a nice piece of added value.<BR/><BR/>Two or three times a week I spot a request that one (or sometimes several) of my customers might want to answer. I have a template email ready to go -- I copy and paste the request in question and send it off to the client. <BR/><BR/>I also pitched myself for an article on email newsletters (scheduled for June on the National Federation of Independent Businesses site), and scored an interview for the piece.<BR/><BR/>Keeping up with HARO takes some work and attention, and you'll plow through a lot of requests that don't apply to you. But there's some real value there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
