"Publicity Builder amounts to a course in how to win editors and influence reporters. Every public relations person could benefit from the wisdom..." - Larry Shannon, New York Times

What is publicity, and why do I need it? Publicity, also known as PR, is much more than just free advertising. Another person is talking about you, telling the world about your product or service. And who will the world believe? You or someone talking about you? Publicity is cucially important to your success. Every business can use it. You know all those magazine articles, reviews, and TV feature stories that mention or focus on products and companies? These are the result of PR. Sometimes, when you see a product in a movie or TV show, that's PR too. (Companies usually pay for those product 'placements', but that's another story.) The makers of Safe-T-Man understand this.

"Publicity Builder helped us obtain over $6 million in free publicity in the nation's leading TV shows, magazines and almost every major newspaper in the country... Publicity Builder was incredibly easy to use. We simply faxed our press release and the media and distributors started calling us like crazy." - - Christian LesStrang, President, FunFlatable Products Company, Inc. (makers of Safe-T-Man

By using Publicity Builder, they achieved coverage in all of these media for a total of over "/software/public_relations/savtmanstory.html" target="_blank">$6 million in free publicity. As a small, home-based company, FunFlatable Products could never have afforded to pay for even a fraction of the exposure they've achieved, but with Publicity Builder, they got it for free. Better yet, all of this PR exposure can be even more effective than conventional advertising.

How to make news, grab headlines, and more Newspaper, magazine and TV news editors are always looking for stories. After all, they have to print a whole new paper or produce hours of TV news every day. They care about finding stories. They couldn't care less about selling your product or you. So how do you get your product in the news? The secret is story power, or "angle." Knowing what's news... And timing. If you don't have these elements, your PR efforts will probably be unsuccessful. But with them, there's no limit to how much publicity you can achieve. Publicity Builder teaches you to maximize your exposure by using the principles of angle, newsworthiness and timing, and shows you how to apply them to your product. It shows you how to write pitch letters, press releases and create a press kit, and includes pre-formatted documents that you can modify to your needs. And you'll sound like a pro when you call. Plus, a special section shows you how to get the most out of trade shows and conventions, from planning your presentation to capturing media coverage.

PR is good for your career & personal success The simple fact that having an article published in a trade magazine or even a city newspaper will enhance a career faster and longer than almost anything else you can do is not recognized by most people. The few people who take advantage of this fact are the ones most likely to succeed in both their business and their personal lives.
