I recently watched @Jason's interview with @gregory from Muckrack. There are some really good PR tips in this episode:

@Jason @gregory @rrhoover Thanks for sharing. We're fans of Greg's "slow PR" approach where the focus is to build relations with Journalists as opposed to mass emailing tons of Journalists.

Thank you for adding this @nikitakorotaev. I'm looking forward to your feedback! We have just added a 50% off coupon for Product Hunters. We spoke to a lot of journalists whilst building it and their number one concern was spam so we tried to make a useful product for startups that doesn't spam Journalists. We use NLP to understand what Journalists like to write about and the CRM makes it easy to message journalists but ensures that you tailor each message individually.

@nikitakorotaev @tehranix How does the send email function work? Do I send e-mails through your system or can I use my own mail client?

@nikitakorotaev @emieljanson We use @nilas for emails. You connect your gmail or a similar email service with contactable and then send just like you would any other CRM.

@tehranix do you guys collect e-mail addresses or do I have to find them myself?

Hi @tehranix, I'm a little confused... what do I get extra if I pay the monthly fee? Email addresses vs. just Twitter/LinkedIn accounts? Can I interrupt the service at any point in time or there is a longer term commitment? thanks

@sivola Hi Paeolo, the search on the front page is actually just a Demo, and you cannot do more than 10 searches.

Write Together

As a journalist, interesting tool and I liked what you mentioned about "slow PR" above. One thing I noted is much of the data for us is out of date. How do you get it? How do we remove people that have left?

@ow Hi Owen thanks! We get the data by analysing the articles that they have written by natural language processing. We still have a long way to go for ironing out the kinks and need to put process in place to remove journalists that are no longer writing for the publications we have listed. If you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear it :)

What's like the typical response rate from the journalists you have? What I'm getting at is I pay $99 but say I don't get a single response because the emails bounced or invalid?

@kar2905 We have dozens of checks in place to make sure the emails are valid. The response rate is completely up to how good your pitch is and how good your product is.

@tehranix, looks pretty cool! PR is definitely broken, so hopefully some startups can fix it! You guys are in London, right? @hyharryhuang and I are making something similar (a light-weight version for product builders), so would be good to grab a drink sometime :)

So this is technically a crm system just for contacting journalists right, or do the journalists sign up on your site and we can interact with them

@syedahmedz Yes that's right, it's a CRM on top of the Database. Journalists haven't signed up to our website yet.
