Jit and his team helped Sundots get some great press very quickly. They are responsive, care to represent clients' brands accurately, and are easy to collaborate with.

Pros:

RESULTS!, great communication, transparent pricing, they clearly hustle and care about clients' success

Cons:

Could be a little faster to hand over contacts who express interest

I've used Promotehour for a few of our Kickstarter launches, most recently for the Keystone Mechanical Keyboard - https://www.kickstarter.com/proj... It was a great experience, they got us a ton of coverage and were very clear to communicate the entire time. Would recommend and would use again.

Sadly I cannot recommend Promotehour's services. As @stas_kulesh I paid a Grand Coverage with guaranteed results. 10 months have passed and all I got was an article on a blog that sends 1 visitor/month. They said they tried, but delivered nothing. Sadly, I did not get a refund, but communication blackout. Maybe @jitsalunke or @soundankar can answer me here. Update in progress: @jitsalunke contacted me and is working on resolving this situation. Will let you know how it turns out.

@stas_kulesh @alexmalureanu Same here. No results, no refund.
Stas Kulesh
@alexmalureanu how did this end for you man?
Alex Malureanu
@stas_kulesh Hi, sadly absolutely nothing yet... @jitsalunke. I will wait 1 more week. If nothing happens, I will go through legal channels... @viktorhanacek -> We should talk some more and find a solution to recover our money.

We have been trying quite a while to deliver a coverage for Alex's startup. We did multiple rounds of outreach but there is only so much we can do in PR at this price point. So, we decided to move on this and offer a 50% refund as per the money back guarantee. Also, we have conveyed the same to @viktorhanacek and we have already processed the 50% refund for Stas. We are the only PR service that 1. Charge so less for a PR campaign 2. And still, offer a refund if we don't deliver a coverage. Despite that, we had to offer a refund to only 30-40 of 300+ clients we worked with. Here is the screenshot of our earnings for everyone to decide: https://imgur.com/a/FphIo

The Promotehour team is a very dedicated and efficient team that will do their best to get a good exposure of your PR campaign. They worked for two months with our `Done for you` campaign. They collaborated perfectly with us, wrote multiple PRs, and run campaigns with different angles till achieving great results. If you don't want to do the PR on your own, I highly recommend Jit and the team.

This is a useful resource. Thanks. Is the new thing (i.e. V2) the PR Kit? or am I missing something?
Jit Salunke
@ebrahimkhalil Thanks mate! The free list is the new version. The PR Kit is just open for Pre-orders now :)
Jit Salunke
@ebrahimkhalil Thanks mate!

Love the new UI much nicer for mobile.

Pros:

It's clear, simple & honest. Keep growing.

Cons:

Some of the great sources common elsewhere are missed off.

Robert Melkonyan
Looks better for me.
Jit Salunke
@robert_melkonyan Thanks Robert! Any feedback on the list? Would love to hear.
Robert Melkonyan
@jitsalunke On the last Promote Hour, there was types of links, like "free" or "paid". And the short description of every site was also good. I only miss these two features. Also, I've downloaded the excel file about press coverage, very useful document. Thank you.
Jit Salunke
@robert_melkonyan Yeah, we wanted to see whether the excel file is useful or not. It seems like it is :) We plan to add more media outlets, categorize as per the beat they cover. That will help founders to find relevant ones and pitch to them. Stay tuned for Promotehour 3.0 :)

@dredurr Thanks Deandre. We will keep creating new stuff :)

Paid $599 for help with promotion of my project. Without any results. Year later still waiting for promised at least 50% refund πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

Pros:

Good free resource

Cons:

Highest paid plan without any result in my case

Jit Salunke
Update: we are in touch with Viktor and will be issuing the promised refund asap.
Jit Salunke
Hello Viktor, the refund has been processed as promised. Hope that helps.
Viktor Hanacek
Sadly I'm the another one here who cannot recommend Promotehour paid services. I paid $599 for help with promotion of my project (I'm founder, it's in my profile). Without any results. Year later still waiting for promised refund πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

Mona & Jit are super-friendly and have come a long way from the hiccups of the early days. It's always a great experience to work with them.

Pros:

Promotehour has a dedicated team and offers wide media reach to its customers

Cons:

It's a work in progress and the product offering is evolving continuously

Oras Al-Kubaisi
I really like the simple layout and easy to reach information. As a quick feedback: 1) Rather than having direct email links, how about a modal that provides more information along with email address. This will give you a better indication of which websites people are interested in. 2) Your done for you page is 404.
Jit Salunke
@orask Thanks Oras for the feedback. Will definitely keep that in mind. And thanks for pointing error. It should point to: http://promotehour.com/startup-p...

Hey Guys, We are thrilled to launch Promotehour 2.0 : A FREE List of 1100+ Media Outlets to Pitch Your Startup. The previous version, which was featured here on PH 2 years ago, had a list of 150+ Startup Directories. Finding relevant media outlets and their contact info is a painful task. PR agencies charge a huge premium for it. We wanted to make it easier for Entrepreneurs. You will find almost all the top tech media outlets with their email/contact form link where they usually want you to send the pitch. Though the list is very useful to tell every relevant media outlet about the awesome startup you are building, it can't replace the personal engagement and outreach you should be doing to reach most relevant journalists. And if you love this list, you will love our Startup PR Kit too! Open for Pre-orders (200 Only): https://promotehour.lpages.co/st... Thanks a ton @kwdinc for hunting!

I really like the simplistic UI!

I approach them PR services for my app website and I am happy with the results.

I love to recommend them for quality promotion.

Pros:

I got 50% hike in my website traffic. Best thing is that I got relevant high-quality traffic after their outreach

Cons:

I am not able to find any discount coupon for next purchase.

This is very useful. Thank you!

The email containing the free list download resulted in an error page and a prompt to open in WeChat. Doing so prompted a warning from WeChat that the link was suspicious and has been blocked.
Jit Salunke
@playgraph that's strange! Will check and resend the file directly.
