Wouldn't this come off mad impersonal bc the "from:" wouldn't be you, but hello@pushforpress.com or something? I might be missing something but pretty sure they can't send emails on your behalf, cc at most.
This is NOT how you pitch the media. Trust me. I've been featured here on PH #2 position in several categories, dozens of stories in TechCrunch, Mashable, and pretty much every tech blog. These type of spray and pray tactics won't win over top tier journalists. There are some "PR hacks" that can help automate certain tasks but the pitch needs to be hyper personalized and well thought out to stand out. 👎🏼
I think the fact that ProductHunt is included on the list of sites they submit to underscores that this product is useless. I can't imagine a single person that this would e-mail which would result in your product getting hunted.
@rossdcurrie Hey Ross, a few months ago I emailed product hunt personally and made it straight to the featured page when they saw the mission behind an organisation I started to help entrepreneurs with mental heath issues.
Hi everyone, thanks for the Hunt and apologies for the late response! I made pushforpress.com over the weekend. Essentially, I obtained the emails of those companies and placed them into a neat, clean format for people to easily access publications and send off their press release. In the future, I plan on having vertices such as travel, celebrity gossip, fashion, tech and so on. I understand they're a few bumps that need to be ironed out and hope to release version 2 soon!

@elliotisles I would love if you could answer the questions posted on this page, I have many of the same wonders myself.

This is useful it works. :) If I submit a press release, will I be copied on all the emails which PFP will send to editors of the magazines.
