When a major newspaper, magazine or niche publication prints a story about you, or when you’re featured on a national network newscast, recycle that publicity by letting your local media know about it.
Mystic Pop magazine, which features articles about holistic living and spirituality topics, wrote about surrealistic artist Mickie Bellah of Austin, Texas, and included photos of her oil paintings, in its November/December issue.
Mickie wrote a press release about the media hit and distributed it through PRWeb. More than 500 people have viewed the release online at http://tinyurl.com/34rd8m. She also sent it to media in Austin.
Directions, a magazine about the Texas “hill country,” saw the release, called her, and then featured a photo of one of her oil paintings on the masthead page of the magazine along with a short blurb.
“I took advantage of your free tutorial ’89 Ways To Write Powerful Press Releases’ and picked up a lot of excellent tips, including the one about publicizing national media hits,” Mickie said.
