How to Get Free PR For Your Business & Be PAID For It

Public Relations (PR) coverage is a key tool in demonstrating your expertise, products and services. Cheaper and more effective than paid advertising, being in the media gives you credibility. A key element of your marketing strategy, PR helps people to know, like, trust and buy from you.

Whilst you can pay a PR consultant for their skills, knowledge, expertise and contact list, you can go from no PR coverage to being paid for it by doing the work yourself.
