Creating A PR Roadmap

Do you want to be in newspapers or on TV just for the fun of it, or do you have a specific
objective in mind? I can't emphasize how important it is to have clearly defined your goals before you start your public relations campaign. These are objectives that you must decide for yourself.

Ask yourself the following questions:

● What objectives do you want to achieve with a media relations campaign?
● How big do you want your business to grow?
● At what rate do you want your business to grow?
● What target market do you want to reach?
● How do you want to be perceived by the media?
● What are your short-term and long-term media goals?

When I began in the field, I assumed that, before clients decided to hire me, they had outlined their PR objectives, knew where they wanted their business to go, and knew what objectives they wanted to achieve. I was wrong. I now have prospective clients clearly outline their objectives before we start a campaign. I used to spend the bulk of my initial consultations with clients selling myself and my service. Now the bulk of the time is spent finding out not only who the prospective client is, but what he or she wants to accomplish and what objectives need to be met. The bottom line is, if you don't know where you're going, how will you know when you've arrived?

Re: Can you outsource your product launch? Re: Can you outsource your product launch? - Yes that what I am talking about. Creating a buzz for your online product launch basically. Is this part of what you do?
Re: Social Media & Digg, Google, MySpace, and YouTube Re: Social Media & Digg, Google, MySpace, and YouTube - Hi Kathy, What I meant about it being worth it was in the sense that I described. Creating multiple accounts for various sites and posting and ranking your own stuff. It's very time consuming to say the least. I'm just wondering if there's anyone out there that has done this and thinks it's beneficial.

What are your success criteria? What are your success criteria? - Out of curiousity, what has to be present for you to know that your business is a success? The top three things for me are: 1. Maintaining a 6 figure income year in and year out. 2. Creating and promoting my own products. 3. Income not solely dependent upon my personal effort. How about yours?
Design offer - 2 Design offer - 2 - I'm always surprised these days when people offer their services -- in appropriate forums like this one --- and yet don't have a website that they can direct us to to see their work. Creating a website, even a very simple one, should be the first act of any entrepreneur. There's no reason not to have one, and every reason to have one!
