DON’T! Be insulting Give me your whole life story Send 100 bloggers the same email Don’t send me the same pitch multiple times – come up with news angles
DON’T! Don’t try PR just for your ego Don’t be vague: Identify what you want covered Don’t be the crazy lone person: Go to events with a ‘wing’ person. Don’t approach people right off stage, they won’t remember you.
