Image
http://sramedia.com Reporters aren't interested in promoting your business. Their job is to share newsworthy stories. The first step to generate press is to determine if you have a newsworthy story to share.   Figure out what is unique about you and your offerings, the challenges you overcame, and how they shaped the business.
