How to Distribute Press Releases, with Mickie Kennedy
Episode 75
On this episode of Sell With Authority, I am excited to welcome Mickie Kennedy. He is the visionary Founder of eReleases, a trailblazing company that has been empowering business owners like you and me for the past 24 years. Mickie’s mission is simple but powerful — to help you increase your visibility, authority, and credibility within your chosen niche by expertly distributing press releases to the media.
In full transparency — when I first thought about having this conversation with Mickie — I was thrilled, but I also had my fair share of trepidation. PR is a complex world of journalist databases, the art of making one press release stand out amidst a sea of others, and the delicate dance of developing relationships with editors and reporters. It’s a realm that is not within my areas of expertise.
But here’s the thing — once I took a good, hard look at the vast expanse of knowledge that Mickie possesses, things that I don’t understand how to optimize, my trepidation just evaporated. In fact, it transformed into excitement because I realized that interviewing Mickie will be an absolute game-changer for all of us.
If you take and apply the insights, best practices, and wisdom that Mickie shares, you and your team will be able to seamlessly integrate distributing press releases into your overall authority positioning strategy.
