Everyone’s an Expert at Something (HARO)

by Jennifer Gniadecki on August 5th, 2008

imageOne of the keys to successful networking is sharing what you now.

Now, sharing what you know with people who want to hear it just got a whole lot easier.

Everyone knows that the best way to get your name out there and be known as an expert (which helps just as much with a job search as it does with client acquisition) is to get some press! Quoted in a newspaper, read about in a magazine, even having an article on a website can help you get where you need to be faster by giving you more exposure.

But where do you find reporters that would actually want to hear from you?

That’s where HARO (Help a Reporter Out) comes in. You sign up as a source (because as the tag line clearly states, “Everyone’s an expert at something” ) and three times a day you will receive an email filled with reporters looking for sources.

Sure they won’t all apply to you. But they might apply to someone you know, someone you can share knowledge with and be remembered as being the helpful one that got someone else’s company a shot at some press time.

If you’re a blog author, website owner, web content producer, or a real bonafide reporter, you can put in what you need here on the HARO press sign up page and see your inbox fill up with timely queries from experts.

Talk about a win-win. It’s like all the networking without any of the hassle. Yummy.
