Looks promising ! Might be interesting to have a free tier with just an easy PR generator (and nothing else) as a way to check the app and generate awareness for the product itself :)
@jpvalery Good point - our main aim is to get as many folk on - everyone should be able to do PR and get media coverage - no matter what their budget 👍

Wow, This is really useful. It would definitely save me a lot of time
@anesi_anesi thank you!! just wondering how you go about finding journalists right now? have you ever used PR news wires or would you be happy to try building strong relationships with individual journalists and media outlets. Might take longer but would get you better media coverage

@sforsarah In the past, I would send out emails to a gazillion journalists without any real focus. Right now, I try to build relationships with media outlets. I have never tried PR news wires.
@anesi_anesi you're doing exactly the right thing - building relationship with the media outlet and the journalists that cover your beat will work so much better than emailing masses of randoms and hoping for the best! You are a perfect PingGo user! Let me know how you get on with PingGo's media contact book - it's there for you to record details of target journalists. Our aim is to make PingGo an efficient way for journalists to get news from startups. You can message journalists in real time and that will make it easier for them to arrange interviews and ask follow up questions. Thanks for this feedback. It validates our thinking for future developments.

Oh YES. This has arrived at exactly the right moment.
@stevenjmesser Hey Steve! How did you get on? Would love to hear your feedback!

@sforsarah It's going quite well so far, the boilerplates are really working out for us! I've tried writing press releases in the past but always added too much information – PingGo has helped me cut down the waffle and focus on the pithy bits to grab a journo's attention. I've taken the questions PingGo asks and asked them to my team here. Once I've got their answers back, I'll be able to craft some decent sentences and plonk them into PingGo, creating a decent press release.
@stevenjmesser That is absolutely brilliant - so, so happy for you - exactly what we want to happen - startups get press on their own. Power to the Startup People. Can't tell you how happy I am to hear the words - IT TOTALLY WORKED.

My antivirus blocked me from going to the website. Detected malware... I'm using Avast for Mac
@paisano I'm really sorry about that - we have had problems from other Avast users - there doesn't seem to be anything we can do about it. we'll keep on it though and let you know if we can work out a fix. sorry :(

@sforsarah ah ok so it might be a false flag... that happens a lot... I think it referenced the favicon for some reason. hmm
