My customers need
your services...

so I'm making it easy for them
 to find you!

Almost daily, people call or email me, asking for my advice on vendors just like you who I can recommend to help them with their publicity campaigns.

They need publicists, press release writers, media directories, editors, press release distribution services, CD duplicators, media trainers, clipping services, help with podcasting, copywriters, proofreaders, videographers, website developers, media leads, virtual assistants, and other products and services that can help them get the job done.

I don't do this type of work!
 So why do they first come to me?

 

Her readers trust her

"A referral from Joan is pure gold. Because callers trust Joan, right out of the chute, they trust me, too. I work hard to deserve Joan’s trust, because her 30,000-plus readers are serious about getting quality publicity or they wouldn’t be devouring her newsletter...Her referrals are sales on a silver platter!

People who call me know I have an international following, They know that my website and blog have turned into high-traffic destinations for people looking for advice on any aspect of publicity and public relations.

Because they trust me,
each suggestion I make is an implied endorsement

"If The Publicity Hound tells me which companies to call," they reason, "then those companies must be good."
 

The bigger my following,
the more requests I receive

Most weeks, I spend from three to four hours just trying to match up my customers with the best vendors.

But as my own business continues to grow, I don't always have the time to give people the help and attention they need. Often, I don't have time to gather contact information for at least three companies, so they can compare services and prices, then make an intelligent decision on which company will provide the best value.

That's why I've created...

The Publicity Hound's
 Resources List

...with detailed contact information for vendors, suppliers and service providers--all in one convenient place.

The list, which is on a page at my website, and we're updating it almost daily.

You are invited to be on the list. If I'm unfamiliar with your work, we'll check your references.
 

I'm working like a dog
to promote the list

Here are some of the ways I'm getting the list into the hands of the people who need your products and services:

  • The homepage at my website includes a "Publicity Resources" navigational button.
     

  • The more than 30,000 people who read my ezine, "The Publicity Hound's Tips of the Week," see the Resources List link in every issue.
     

  • I promote the list frequently at my blog, which has more than 4,500 visitors and more than 50,000 page views per month.
     

  • People who call my office or email me with requests for referrals get the list for free
     

  • The link for the Resources List will be included in all my information products--including my 50 special reports, more than 40 electronic transcripts and five ebooks. We're in the process of updating those products now.
     

  • A link to the list will be placed at the end of the more than 50 free articles at my website. My website statistics show that more people come to my website through the Free Articles page than from any other page at the site.
     

  • A link for the list can be found on every page at my website.
     

  • The link is in handouts I distribute during my speaking engagements
     

  • I include it in articles I am writing about how to find publicity vendors. I'm posting the articles to various online article directories, so the search engines can find them.
     

  • The resource list will also be available at several social bookmarking sites.
     

  • The link is on the thank-you page in my shopping cart. That means every customer who buys from me sees it.
     

  • My customers see it again when they receive the product they have ordered in the mail because I'm inserting a flyer with the Resource List URL into every package. We're also creating handy refrigerator magnets which we'll be inserting into product packages so the URL is always in front of customers who need help with publicity.
     

But that's not all...
Here's what else I'm doing

  • I'm a frequent guest on other people's teleseminars and I'm mentioning it there, when appropriate.
     

  • I'll offer the list as a free bonus when I'm selling other product bundles
     

  • I mention it, when appropriate, in comments I write at other people's blogs.
     

  • The link for the resource list, and my recommendation to use it, will be a part of autoresponder messages that I send to people who buy my products.
     

...and finally, I'm promoting the resource list in all 89 lessons in my popular free tutorial called "89 Ways to Write Powerful Press Releases." More than 5,800 people have signed up for the course, and I get from 50 to 100 new sign-ups per week. 

 

 

Did I miss something?

If so, let me know. I'm open to ideas on how to promote you.
