After 55s Have A Lot to Say

One of the important steps in building a business is letting the world know that you exist and what you do. I heard of HARO about three weeks ago, and it has proved valuable for me and for my daughter (yes, we are a family of entrepreneurs–each of my daughters owns her own business) and a columnist on SilverVixens.com.

If you haven’t heard of the site, either, it is a quick way to get into the conversation about your particular business. HARO is an acronym for Help a Reporter Out. Three times a day you receive an e-mail listing 25 to 30 inquiries from reporters, writers, whatever. If one is related to what you do, you contact the writer and go from there! Easy, quick, free! Three wonderful words for an entrepreneur.

You are exactly right. HARO is a wonderful site. I’ve connected with several reporters and gotten quotes about the journaling process from experts. It’s a great way to reach new markets.

I look forward to learning more about Silver Vixens.
