DIY PR: Suck Up To The World’s Top Design Bloggers: NYC LA SF LONDON CHICAGO

admin — Thu, 09 Dec 2010 05:47:26 +0000

If you’ve ever released a new product or service you know how quickly the blog world can just light up with mention, photo, quote, and hearsay about your product. Whether the review is good or bad it’s always good. The more bloggers write about you new products and services, the higher Google will vault you in your category.

But since Google has lost a great deal of it’s early credibility after adwords and SEO Spammers started sneaking in, What Google can’t give you in credibility from a respected voice, bloggers can.

Or maybe you don’t. Maybe you’ve never had 100 top bloggers cover your new product, app, business or service. Maybe you don’t know how powerful bloggers are in giving you back:

1. Honest product design feedback before your entire customer base says you’re prejudiced against left handed people.

2. Access to the 1,000s of people who respect and heed their endorsements (at times, disturbingly fanatically)

3. Top Google Placement
Yep. The more niche blogs send you links, the higher you jump in a search for that niche. Seriously. If you’re Omaha Steaks but for some reason you showed up in 100 raw vegan blogs, you’d show up in a Google search for “vegan food.” It’s how Stanford and MIT Computer Science PhD’s Think. Not even a front page article in the NYTimes can get you into Google. That. Is. All.

Oh, Wait. No. It’s not.

Since all of our clients who asked us to market their products want to know how to get the word out, here’s http://sparkah.com ‘s (not so) Internal (anymore) list of top 100 Global Design Bloggers in LA, NYC, London, SF, Tokyo, and more.

These are the bloggers you want to treat well. Start by buying ad space from them. Or if you product is valuable, ask for a shipping address and sample them out. That will probably get you a blog post quickly. And ask for honest feedback. They’ve earned their credibility with thousands and with Google. It’s the fastest way to get expert consulting – for pennies.

PS. If you want us to reach out to all of these top 100 bloggers simultaneously, consider posting your new product, app, site, or service to http://plurban.com … Many of the worlds top bloggers use Plurban as a new product news source. Also, our interns are compiling a Twitter list of everyone here. To be alerted when it’s ready, just click “Like” in any of the Facebook boxes to the right. Follow them. Get to know them. Develop a relationship with the top 100 bloggers in the world.

Media: LA’s Top 100 NON-Celebrity Bloggers You Should Take to Lunch

admin — Sun, 05 Dec 2010 18:47:11 +0000

If you had the choice to take either a prime-time NBC newscaster, an LA Times reporter, or a blogger to lunch at the Ivy on Robertson in Beverly Hills, who would you pick? This is not a trick question. If you took the newscaster out (pick any: Lisa Hernandez ABC7, Jessica Holmes KTLA5, Leslie Miller – ABC7, Lisa Siegel KCAL9. Kim Baldonado – NBC4) you’d have a big media van with requisite ET phone home dish on the roof and strobe lights accompany you.

Network Newscasters don’t have a cult following (update: ummm, we might be wrong)

If you took the LA Times reporter out, you’d only have one photog with you but the guy would look really smart. And all the people at Ivy would think you were smart by association. If you took a blogger out to lunch, none of the above would happen. Nobody would notice. Well, nobody but the following:

Top Ten Reasons to Take a Blogger to Lunch as Opposed to Some Hot Newscaster:
10. Network news will give you 15 seconds.

9. Network news broadcasts to everybody (not a good thing).

8. The LA Times ends up in a land fill (or used as bathroom tissue in TJ cantinas).

7. You can’t Google Channel 7, 5, 2, 13, or (wait. do analogue channels even exist any more?)…

6. You can’t Google a newspaper

5. LA Times journalists don’t have a cult following.

4. Network Newscasters don’t have a cult following (update: ummm, we might be wrong)

3. Bloggers do have a cult following and personal influence with their readers

2. Bloggers will get you into Google

1. Google

If that’s not enough reason to pander to the power of bloggers, I really can’t help you. You’ll have to refer to the Top 100 Los Angeles PR Public Relations Firms bring your check book.

If you’re convinced, you’ll find the top 100 most influential NON-celebrity bloggers right here. Just start scrolling. Get ready. Make like garlic ‘cuz they’ll get you press.

How To Get A Bigshot Blogger or Celebrity to Tweet Back to You

admin — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 00:30:27 +0000

This one will be quick.

Nobody wants to talk to someone they don’t know. They’d be at a total disadvantage not knowing you or what you’d say in response. So the biggest bloggers and celebs never reply to strangers. Afterall, their rent is on the line.

So if you want bigshots like @garyvee @rrw @benparr @jason and @om to reply to you over Twitter – and maybe even give a valuable commercial shout out about your brand, get known.

1. Add value. Comment in THEIR blogs.

2. Get them to feel comfortable with you.

3. Take a leadership role and start a forum or ning about the celebrity and their sayings. Believe me. If you started a Deepak Chopra blog or forum, he will hear you.

BONUS: DO NOT DO THIS: http://twitter.com/HEY_TonyROBBINS/statuses/11277869709

If you want me to reply to you, do the same. Comment, let your personality warm on the big bloggers with big followings out there. I do. See? http://disqus.com/journik/

How to Get Top Bloggers In Your (MY) Industry To Blog About You : ME…

admin — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 17:26:02 +0000

No, I’m not saying “ME” as in, “I’m the savior.” I’m putting the word, “me” in the title because self centered people will google, “how to get bloggers in MY industry to blog about ME.”And they will find me (this particular “me” refers to this blog post). Then, once they read the above sentence accusing them of being self-centered, they will read no further; making this entire paragraph an exercise in futilidad (which is why I don’t care how “futility” is spelled – at all).

BUT, incase I’m wrong…

I don’t know about you, but I loved it when Oprah joined Twitter. All manner of 30-40 something moms jumped onboard and ReTweeted then Blogged just about everything that came their way. They blogged about strollers they had never heard of, baby food that could as well have had lead in it, even child rearing psychology that came from a bald dude with kids in juvie. It was either because they really liked the messages or because they couldn’t come up with anything at the moment and couldn’t stand the negative space.

In either case, as of today, several months later, all the moms have gone home. Actually, I guess nothing has changed since they were at home to begin with.

It’s extremely difficult to get RT’d nowadays.

But, if you DO get an RT leading to a blog post about you now, it’s like platinum. Think about it. Back when everyone was indescriminately RTing everybody else, an RT didn’t mean much. Now, if you get an RT, people actually pay attention. I’d go so far as to say that people read RTs more than direct follow tweets. And it’s that RT that increases your chances of being blogged about and all of said blog followers to be exposed to you.

It’s like your willingness to investigate further if some dude said, “Hi. I’m really good in bed,” vs. if his last girlfriend said, “Wow, I hate him but he’s really good in bed.”

So if a single RT is worth that much more, how much more must a dozen or two dozen be worth? Without boring you with math, suffice it to say that dozens of RTs are worth thousands of page views.

So here’s the Kama Sutra of building multiple Twitter RT partners that lead to idea starved writers who will blog you up:

1. Take the lead in RTing and blogging about the people who have big blogs.
This step is crucial and pivotal. Whether you have a lot of followers or 130, if you show goodwill, people feel compelled to return the favor – even if they have millions of followers. Back when I only had 1,000 followers, some guy with over 1 MILLION RT’d me because I made the first gesture of goodwill.

2. Remember who you RT and blog about.
Seriously, this is business. This is not some sort of universal karmic thing where you kiss Amy and Susan kisses you (years later of course. Otherwise it wouldn’t be a karma coming back around kinna thing. It would be a totally different kinna thing). IMPORTANT: It generally takes about 3 RTs and subsequent blog posts before someone feels like they are truly ingratiated and will RT you.

3. Get more than 1,000 Twitter followers and 10,000 blog subscribers.
If you only have a dozen followers who never use Twitter anyways, even if you kiss butt and massage feet, you’ve got no clout. How did I get my 12,000 followers? ASK ME @journik

And before you do shout out about their blogs and work, make sure that each blogger you want to cover your work actually monitors their traffic. Otherwise, if they don’t see a major spike in their readership, if they have no way of ascertaining a spike in popularity, they will not be excited about talking you up.

4. KEY: Refer back to #2 and DM your industry’s bloggers asking them to do a story about you.
Oddly, inspiteofthefactthat we all get tons of DM spam, it’s actually more effective to ask someone from #2 to RT a specific tweet via DM than an @message. My theory is that it is refreshing to actually get a real DM. And also because if you @zenmommy @riasharon @kevinpmiller @globalpatriot @others all in the same tweet it kinna lets the recipients off the hook. =)

5. Remember who RT’d YOU.
This is the easy part. There’s a trick to it.

In one of my first sales training seminars, we were all asked, “If you are going to sell Bibles, who would you sell it to?”

The responses were varied. Some said, “rich people.”

Others said, “People who don’t have one.”

The instructor said, “Nope. People who don’t have Bibles are called atheists or Buddhists. They don’t buy Bibles. The people who will buy your Bible, counterintuitively, are the people who already have ten Bibles. People who have twenty Bibles are even more likely to buy your crappy translation.”

Remember who RT’d YOU because the people who do are more likely to actually respond when you do #4.

#6 BONUS: How to do #5…
I have a trick to this. Whenever I ask for an RT, I ask that the same bit.ly url be RT’d and the same url always goes to the MAIN url of my blog – never a sub url. The reason for that becomes obvious when you see what I see: Journik’s Twitter Traffic Statistics and ReTweeters.
