If you want a review, at least send me a sample.
If not, please go away. And don’t be surprised if you don’t get a personal reply.
But, if you are patient, there might be a blog post during the summer: 10 ways you should not use the social media if you don’t want to appear stupid.
Amen!
I think a good rule of thumb is: if a blog doesn’t have ads on it, don’t try and use it to hawk your gear.
Exactly. And if you want me to visit your event, pay for my gas.
Or at least put me on the VIP list….
VIP lists don’t fill gas tanks. I got invited to an event in a city elsewhere. Everyone in the room made a lot of money off of an idea I shared and I had to cover the hotel, the gas and the food. Learned my lesson and I negotiate harder now.
Point taken!
I get a few of these requests. I got one for a tshirt yesterday and wasn’t going to do much with it until I saw the shirt and really liked it, so I just sent a quick tweet (I would’ve done that anyway if I’d have seen it!). A free shirt would’ve been even better though!
10 ways… sounds like a post which needs writing! You can begin: Dear PR company,
I’m reasonably open to freebies though I rarely get them – you can’t count a free pint of Carling. Maybe it’s because I say bad things about brewers and beer from time to time?
The price of independence.
Ah. That’s why I never get enything from Carlsberg!
