I believe I’ve posted this before but I can’t find it, but I thought it was worth saying it again.
If you are looking to get your story posted on Vendor Alley here are some tips.
- Is it a scoop? If I’m the first to know about the news, then I’m more likely to post it.
- You do something really stupid.
- I usually start posting between 6AM to 9AM PT. Timely emails make my job easier.
- I prefer to have a link to the story, not a PDF or Word doc. Uploading content to the blog is time-consuming. Having a link makes my job easier, and the likelihood of your story being posted much better. And it’s better if that link goes to your website, not a newswire service. You want people to go to your website and browse around, right?
- If you haven’t already guessed from tips 2 and 3, I’m lazy. Including any artwork, logos, photo, or link to video along with your news will also increase your chances of getting you posted.
- Please provide me with any context or other flavor you want to add to the news.
A few other things.
- I’m not a journalist.
- I will typically add my own commentary to your news. You may like or dislike this commentary.
- If you have ideas for stories or a podcast theme/guest, send them to me.
- If you want to be on my podcast, let me know.
