Seminar PR | LinkedIn Power Strategies: How to Stand Out and Be Sought Out

How do you promote seminars and workshops these days? When I pulled the media contact list for LinkedIn Power Strategies, I knew it was time to branch out into other places. A calendar item or even a feature will only reach a select group of readers once. To publicize your business events, create an event site on eventbrite. Buy a domain for your event, in this case – http://wiredbranding.com – and then post information on craigslist, GarysGuide and other online calendars.

Here’s the copy I used for the publicity communications along with the LinkedIn Power Strategies eventbrite site.
