Ask and You Shall Receive
October 1st, 2008 Dina at Wordfeeder.comA few months back, I had blogged about Peter Shankman’s awesome “Help a Reporter” or “Help a Reporter Out” service.
At the time, I’d made the suggestion that Peter add instructions or an FAQ section to his website. This way, people who wish to respond to his queries will know exactly what to do without completely screwing up and peeving everyone in the process.
As I’m sure I wasn’t the only person who asked questions… looks like Peter’s answered the call and has now posted the Five Rules of HARO (Help a Reporter Out).
Now, if you get on Peter’s list and one day a reporter query comes in that think you can fill a need for, simply go right to this link, read the instructions and then do what they say.
Again, the link, in case anyone missed it: http://shankman.com/the-five-rules-of-haro/

March 25th, 2008 Dina at Wordfeeder.comEvery so often, you come across something that you just KNOW should be jumped on so you can ride it out before it gets too big to handle. This post is about just that; and I’m sending a message out to:
1. The Urban Muse
2. My copywriting clients and colleagues
3. Peter Shankman.
Okay, why the The Urban Muse? Because I have to thank this woman for posting about Peter Shankman’s Help a Reporter Mailing List.
Peter Shankman acts as a matching service between reporters on the beat, and experts who can supply them with quotes and stories for the articles they’re writing.
