@dragilev - Just sent you an email through your site. Happy to chat with you about what you're doing, if you think it could be at all valuable to you. I think there's still tons of room to disrupt the PR world as we know it. -Peter

@petershankman founded HARO so he knows a bit about this space. ;) I'm curious what reporters think of this. They already get pitched like mad but if you can help them connect w/ the right people + content, they should appreciate it.

P.S. I have one concern. So this is for people who reach out to reporters instead of using PR firms. I would personally do my outreach myself instead of paying a lot of money (I checked out your pricing model). What does JustReachOut offer that one cannot do themselves for free?

@arturkiulian @violetanedkova Hey guys, sure, happy to answer. 1. we search the web and try to find the journalists who are the best for your keywords. we use a variety of techniques to find the most relevant journalists for you. 2. we give you the best email templates to use for reaching out. I used these very templates to get a startup acquired by Google: http://thenextweb.com/socialmedi... 3. we give you the email of the journalist you are trying to contact, we have a pretty sophisticated algorithm which finds the email. 4. I personally help you pitch press and re-write your emails. 5. We give you free access to our online course on how to do your own PR http://learn.criminallyprolific.... Bonus - I sometimes send ice cream to our customers randomly!

@dragilev This is really cool! For the email component of this, do you mean the JustReachOut uses email guessing techniques similar to SellHack (http://sellhack.com/)? Something that compares potential emails to linked accounts etc?

@izzydoesizzy @dragilev Yup, similar to Sellhack. We use them as one of our APIs. We have our own algorithm as well, and we use EmailHunter and a number of others to make sure we get you the email address. I outline the process we use here: http://www.criminallyprolific.co...

Can somebody explain how this product was re-featured? It was originally featured a year ago, but released some great updates today (I'm guessing) so was re-featured! Is this normal practice at PH? First time I've noticed this. Oh and btw, I love your product! And will definitely be using it :)

@joey_tawadrous Thank you! We took the product down and completely rebuilt it. Let me know if you have more questions!

Great stuff @dragilev! I really like the way it takes the hassle out of finding the reporters yourself. As a matter of interest, who reposted your product?

My feedbacks are 1. I recommend to use "Forget PR Firms, connect with relevant reporters yourself." as H1. In the current layout people cant see your main pitch. 2. While loading you say "Sit tight, we're searching latest news articles about "productivity" so you can connect with reporters over a common interest." I think, you should show us how important thing you do. For example you can say "we are searching 111111 resources and 222222 reporters" 3. Then "Reach All" button would be nice. To sum up, i think, you do a great job. I like the flow.

@rrhover - yes we do give you an email address. Our product is a bit different in a sense that we are trying to get startups to form long lasting relationships with reporters, not mass-contact a bunch of them with news of a produce launch.
Violeta Nedkova
I'm a big fan of HARO. Interested to see how this tool will compete. :)
Ryan Hoover
Hey, @dragilev! This has similarities to @yongfook's PitchPigeon. After signing up, do you provide the actual email address of the reporter found in the search results?
