Imagine If Instead of Needing Reporters...
Reporters Needed You!
When you use PR LEADS, we'll put you in touch with reporters who need to quote experts like you. That's right. We get approximately 100 requests a day from reporters who are writing stories for major publications who desperately need to find experts to quote in their stories. We'll give you their names and email addresses and their story angles so you can contact them! If you have the information they need, they'll feature you and your books in their publications. We're talking big name publications and media outlets like The Wall Street Journal, CNN, and Newsweek, as well as Redbook and Glamour.
How PR LEADS Gets You Noticed
Every day, we get upwards of 100 requests from reporters who need to interview experts for stories they are writing. These reporters work for the top daily newspapers, like The New York Times and Washington Post, as well as leading business publications like Investors Business Daily, as well as the top women's magazines, like Cosmopolitan, O Magazine, and Good Housekeeping, and leading business-to-business publications in dozens of vertical markets, including health, personal finance, leadership, sales and marketing. Click to see which publications have quoted our clients.
When we see a lead that matches your profile, we send it to you by email. So you'll get a 100-200 word description of the article and its focus, what kind of expert the author is looking for, as well as the reporter's name, contact information and deadline. Best yet, you'll get the reporter's original request. We don't edit it in any way, so you'll see exactly what they need.
Here are some examples of what a lead looks like:
"BEING A PERFECTIONIST AT WORK - INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY.
For an article about how being too perfect can affect one's work negatively, I'm looking for a list of examples of the habits of perfectionists at work as well as sources who can discuss how those traits can sabotage one's work and how the behavior can be corrected. Need leads by tomorrow, July 13."
"WEIGHT LOSS FOR PLUS-SIZE MOMS - FREELANCER
I'm currently preparing an article for a national pregnancy magazine about weight loss for plus-size moms. I'm still seeking experts who could tell me, for example, what plus-size moms should know before, during and after pregnancy."
"SALES EXECUTIVE CAREER TRACK - SALES & MARKETING MANAGEMENT
I'm looking for sales executives who can talk about their rise through the ranks of sales and tips they learned along the way to become successful sales leader."

Plan to spend $2.5 to $12K before and during the first three months of your book’s life. If you get an advance on your manuscript, I recommend spending the whole amount on marketing your book.
Line item expenses in a prep & launch budget might include research & fact checking, editing, indexing, illustrating, cover & interior design, web design, optimization, & maintenance, distribution, shipping, travel, publicity, and advertising. If you need media training or a public speaking coach, include that. If you are independently published, add in book fair and industry conference fees, book award submission fees, exhibitor costs, and presentation equipment.
An author’s Online Presence is absolutely crucial in today’s book market. Internet book sales have risen 18% year on year since 2002. For this reason, each author needs a web site that pulls incoming traffic from people who are searching on the book’s issues, title, and author name.
The internet is so dynamic that each year the way to attract customers on the superhighway seems to morph. Right now it’s social networking and backlinking. Perhaps 12 million Americans now keep a blog because they’ve learned that updating it every couple of weeks will maintain or lift their page rank. If you are facile with a computer, use search engine optimization (SEO) tools to discover high ranking keywords, and then repeat those throughout your web site, blog and press releases. Seek a web designer who is both imaginative and good at taking direction, while exhibiting a proficiency in English, design, programming, SEO, and business.
Finally, if you cannot define your book’s Audience and Platform, your book will never get off the ground. To market your book, you must be able to distill its issues and know who and where your readers are and how they search for information. Create your log line to attract them and prioritize your first year plan so that you fully fund and lead with the strongest device in your platform.
Don’t end up in the slush pile! Spend time and money with your editing team, a book designer, an SEO guru, and a publicist, so your book is more likely to remain competitive among the 200,000 titles released in America each year.
