Two-Fer! Free Online Conference and Sample Media Release

Usually I adjust media releases for blogs so that they look more like articles or personal letters and that's really what they were intended for. Many bloggers and newsletter and Web editors just print them as-is--either because they don't know they can--even should--change them or because it is more work to do so. The other thing about media releases is that people often forget they can slant (should!) them toward current events. Thus, this is a two-for-one blog post for InkedIn-ers. (-: Hope… Continue

New Website "Visual Impressions Media"

We grew tired of paying high prices when it came to media. We feel good quality photography, web design, graphic design, and book publishing does not have to be expensive. It just has to be good.

We, like most of you, are feeling the crunch of America's current economic slump, so we'll meet or beat anyone's offer to you, if it's for the same product. For instance, if you can get a 5 page personal web design for less than $200 and it matches or is better than… Continue

National Publicity Summit: Coming up in April. Watch a great video explaining it all.

Check out a great video put together by Steve Harrison on why the National Publicity Summit is such a great program. Of course, Steve is biased since he and his brother Bill organize it (with a lot of help from their assistants and friends).

The National Publicity Summit will be held this year in New York City on April 22 to 25th. It should be a great program. You can find out more about the program and watch the video at:… Continue

Who Cited You on the Internet?

See social media search engine WhosTalkin.com. Search results include current mentions on Web sites, blogs, social media posts, videos — anything on the Internet. The results seem to be more relevant than Google and come up in reverse chronological order with most current mentions first. Using this tool, I quickly found links to several magazine articles in which I was mentioned, but didn’t know existed online. You can use this search engine to search… Continue
