Free Publicity’s Golden Rule
June 24th, 2008
I don’t care how much free publicity you get, if you don’t get your contact information out, you’ve wasted your time. By “contact information” I mean your phone number, address, web site or whatever.
Without your contact information, how are people going to get in touch with you to buy your product or service?
Don’t tell me about the “great exposure” you got. Exposure is worthless. You want sales, not exposure.
“You’ll get great exposure” is one of the biggest sucker lines of all times. That bogus line is used to get people to do a whole variety of things for free (like speaking, giving away products, doing media interviews, etc.), when they should be making money. Sales pay the mortgage, not exposure.
My golden rule of free publicity (or, as Mary says, The Holy Grail of Publicity) is:
“Publicity = Dollars in the Bank”
