If so, congratulations. You get it. If not, I’ll show you how to change that.

Public Relations Is Online Now

Traditional public relations strategies and tactics are as valid as ever, but they’re just not enough anymore. Newspapers are shrinking and going out of business, broadcast revenues are declining, but online news, and with it online PR, is growing.
More than 90 percent of journalists go online every day to research stories and find sources, so it just makes sense to help them find what they need online.
That means knowing how to get your information ranked in search engine results and how to develop a steady flow of useful, relevant information that will keep drawing traffic to your websites is crucial.
Online PR Levels the Field
Online PR provides the means to reach target audiences directly, with or without participation of the news media. But it involves more than loading up news releases with links and posting them on the Web.
The online public relations mix, for small businesses and global corporations alike, is bigger and more powerful, including:
Online PR Essentials
The online public relations mix is bigger and more powerful, embracing:
- Search engine optimized content for Websites,
- News releases and articles with key words researched and specifically placed in documents for maximum effect, and
- A matrix of social media sites selected for your specific needs.
You don’t have to be a PR professional to do online PR, although knowledgeable PR pros have an advantage. If you can write clearly you can learn to generate online content that gets found and gets action.
In fact, as search engines continue to evolve, they place a premium on good writing over technical search engine optimization skills.
The Small Business Online PR Groundswell

Today, small businesses seldom mentioned in local papers are finding eager audiences online. Brick and mortar companies reach prospective customers and often build their brands bigger and faster online. For Web-based companies it’s an easy decision.
Once you start getting attention online, the offline world takes notice – because print and broadcast journalists are looking online, too.
