At www.helpareporter.com, sign up to receive three daily emails (weekdays only). Each email contains requests from reporters for sources for different stories. A huge variety of media outlets are represented from small web sites to national television and the New York Times. Skim each issue and if you think you are a qualified source for the story, pitch the reporter. This is great opportunity to get some free press, and it’s fun too!

Every email program allows you to set an email signature that is appended to every message you send. Take a few minutes to set up your own email signature with a short message about your business and a link to your web site.

Here’s my email signature:
