The Top 27 Free Press Release Sites
June 20, 2008
The Internet has changed how the press looks for and finds news stories. While the conservative news industry is slowly warming up to this fancy thing call the Internet, there are a number of Press Release sites that allow you electronically submit articles and even embed links!!
The fact is, the written press seams to have more credibility then online news and media distributors (for now
) and having your company featured in an official press article is still great, free publicity. So for now you have to play their game.
Here are a number of Free Press Release Sites that I use to help promote Rezgo, and hopefully get picked up by official news agencies. If you don’t get featured by a large news agency, at least these sites will help your rank with Google. They are geared for the Tour and Travel industry and some may require payment, but most are free and generalized enough to help any company promote their press releases. Enjoy, and let me know if you have any others.

What to do when selling to VCs?
June 16, 2008
I have been out of the blogosphere lately, and for good reason (read excuse ;). I have been working to promote the latest edition of Rezgo.com, the online tour and activity booking solution, and I have had some success! We were recently notified that we were selected for PhoCusWright’s Travel Innovation Summit and in B.C. we are one of 30 companies to make it to the third round of the New Ventures B.C. innovation competition. So great news all around!
Being thrown to the mercy of of lawyers, VCs and CEOs can be a tad intimidating, so a bit of research into VCs, Angel Investors and the like was needed, and here are some of my favorite resources:
- http://www.vcfodder.com/
- A straightforward look at the world of entrepreneurship and venture capital.
- http://www.sfentrepreneur.com/how-to-guides/
- Great how-to guides on legal, marketing, presenting etc
- Great how-to guides on legal, marketing, presenting etc
- http://www.thefunded.com/
- An online community of entrepreneurs to research, rate, and review funding sources worldwide.
- http://fundfindr.com/
- The elevator speech meets YouTube, also a NVBC competitor.
If you know of any others, let me kow, but I hope this list can help all of you out there that are in a similar situation.
