Replies
We are planning to improvise Presshour with version 2.0
Some of the features we planned for:
1. Filtering ability based on type of startups as well as location
2.More media outlets
3. Traffic & social shares estimates based on real life experiences
If you have more suggestions, please let us know.
@sidrock28 Hey Sid, we haven't really figured out the pricing yet. for the paid service. That's why we just put a landing page with a concept. As soon as we are ready, we will put it online. Hope that works.
@bentossell Hey Ben, thanks for asking. Promotehour is more of a list of startup directories. We thought Media outlets don't really belong to that. So we wanted to create a different source for it.
Thanks @tribaling for hunting Presshour.
We created a resource http://promotehour.com last year which turned out to be extremely useful for 40k+ founders. Lot of folks asked us for a resource which would cover Media Outlets. So we created Presshour.
What you see on homepage is pretty crude version 1.0. Ultimately, we want to turn it in to a place where you just to pick category relevant to your startup and you get a list of Media outlets you should pitch your startup to.
I am sure there are several hundreds media outlets across the world which could be relevant for any startup. We have just 400 till now :)
Do share your feedback on how we can improve on it.
@soundankar I think it's a really simple and winning concept. Possibly it would be useful to have contact info to the most prominent journalists and the niche they cover. But I realize that is a gigantic work, and what you have here is enough for startups to start thinking about potential venues for their PR. Good job!
@tribaling thanks Elia. Yeah we will mostly focus on adding more outlets and making it easier to use.
This is an awesome resource - from the makers of promotehour.com - for anyone that wants to look for options to get coverage for their startup.
Good resource, another useful resource I found was http://submit.co. It would have been good if you provided link to their submit section.
@sanketmehta7 Thanks Sanket!
We didn't include it for couple of reasons:
1. We kind of don't encourage submitting directly from the Submit section of any media outlet. Instead, it is good practice to find a journalist from the media outlet relevant to your startup and reach out to him/her.
2. I think only 15-20% have submit link page. That leaves a huge blank column for most of the entries.
Hope it helps. Happy to hear any suggestions you might have on how we can make it better.
@mwright_com Thanks a lot! Looks awesome. You might want to consider: promotehour.com too, our another resource :)
