Ask HN: PR – How does it work...

10 pointsby ben-gyabout 11 years ago
Hey there HN!<p>I&#x27;ve been running a startup (http:&#x2F;&#x2F;subservice.co) for a little while now and we&#x27;ve worked out what we need to do to take it to the next level.<p>I&#x27;ve sought some advice, and copied other press article&#x27;s writing styles, and come up with this press release - http:&#x2F;&#x2F;d.pr&#x2F;f&#x2F;gQ5t.<p>But I&#x27;m certain I can still make it way better. Do you know of any good resources or friendly publicists that could help me out?<p>Thanks in advance!

Don&#x27;t waste your time with press releases.<p>Use free services like HARO to connect directly with relevant journalists.<p>Here is an explanation on how to do it properly to get press: <a href="http://www.brightjourney.com/q/get-pr-publicity-startup#a-52116" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.brightjourney.com&#x2F;q&#x2F;get-pr-publicity-startup#a-52...</a>

Ben, this is a very well written PR (even if you copied the style) and I think you should go ahead and publish it (I personally feels most of the Press releases are not worth it but yours looks to be something which can be published).<p>Can you check at fiverr.com and oDesk.com, I know there are some really good people there (you need to some searching though) who can make it better, I had done some PR work myself (syndication) so feel free to contact me via <a href="http://www.inboundio.com/contact_us" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.inboundio.com&#x2F;contact_us</a> if you need any help or guidance.

I interpreted the PR in the title as Pull Request.
