You've got a new business (or an old one). Your thinking, "I'd be in great shape if people only knew about what I'm doing..."
Maybe. So let's find out.
If you're looking to get the attention of press and media people, it's probably not as hard as you think. With some basic knowledge about what writers and reporters are looking for, you'll be able to get the media coverage you want. And that's what we walk about on this episode of RED Podcast...

What's hot on Kickstarter right now (and why)
