Special Birthday Shout Out to a fellow entrepreneur and triathlete: Peter Shankman

I got to meet Peter in NY a few weeks ago at the NYC Triathlon registration. I’ve been fan and following his thrice daily email for months now. Talk about daily commitment!

He’s got an amazing story. He started in March this year and has built his mailing list to over 20,000 emails that he sends media pitches to 3 times a day, Monday-Friday. He’s consolidating media pitches from journalists on all topics and sending them out to his flock, free.

Everyone wins! I’ve really taken advantage of this service and sent responses to more reporters that are looking for someone like me for their story. No more cold mass press releases. I’ve been quoted in USA Today, the LA Times (and interviewed for the Wall Street Journal...someday/maybe!), and some great productivity & triathlon blogs because of HARO.

I’m very inspired by integrity he fosters in creating and protecting his list and HIGHLY recommend you check out www.HARO.com (which stands for Help A Reporter Out) if you want to be sourced in major national magazines, newspapers and web articles. So I thought for his birthday gift I would share this amazing resource with all of you. Hope you enjoy.

So Happy Birthday, my friend. Enjoy the chocolate cake & kudos!

@Jason.
The like to HARO seems to be broken. It is currently www.haro.com and should perhaps be http://www.haro.com

However the site in question is a site for "Haro - quality Flooring: Parquet, Laminate Floor, Veneer Floor, Cork Floor, Accessories"!!!

I googled it and the correct site is http://www.helpareporter.com/

I hope this is of assistance.

Keep up the good work.
