@noinput Yup, the budget option. You can use the discount code PH to get 25% off the budget as well. :)

@dragilev What have you seen work best for PR outreach for startups?

@danslagen It's a pretty general question man, I'd say building real and lasting relationships with journalists has worked the best for me. This quote from a friend of mine Rebecca who used to write for VentureBeat sums it up nicely: "Unfortunately, the relationship usually feels one-sided. You — a PR person, employee, or entrepreneur — reach out to the press when you need coverage. You are asking for a service, for us to pick your story over the dozens of others we could be writing about. Rarely is that reciprocated. If you have a tip or an idea for an article that gasp doesn’t involve you, share it with a journalist. We are always on the prowl for good stories." It's from her article on startups pitching her: https://medium.com/@bekahgrant/c...

@sapphli Hmmm, good question. What I would do is focus on something beyond your product, for example Daniel Russell made an infographic which got him in all major press and to the front page of Reddit: http://attentiv.com/front-page-o... Try to think what content can you create which will excite people.

@kulturenvy Ha, good question! Fractl did a kick ass study in which they asked 500+ journalists about what they prefer, here is what they said: *81% of journalists prefer being pitched over email also a nice little tip: 69% prefer to be pitched in the morning Here is the study: https://growthhackers.com/slides...

@wilfredboston In the course I actually reach out to journalists live and record myself doing it so students see all this theory in practice. I also share the best email templates which have worked for me over the years. Most of the course is live examples.

@wilfredboston Sure thing. Here are the best email templates which worked for me, I go through these during the course, happy to just give this away to you. This PDF has a different pitch angle attached to each template so it should give you ideas for different angles: https://www.dropbox.com/s/zrc1k8...

@proxet I'd say early in the morning is the best. In that Fractl study I mentioned above 500 journalists were asked this very question: "What time of day you prefer to be pitched?" here is what their response was: 69% prefer morning 22% prefer afternoon 9% prefer evening I would stick with the morning, it makes sense because they get their day started and figure out what they are going to write during that day in the morning. Look at slide #38 in this slide deck : https://growthhackers.com/slides...
