I had subscribed to HARO (Help A Reporter Out) about 5 months ago, and didn't realize until this month it's been going straight into my SPAM folder. I've unblocked it and now I've decided that every-time I see an opportunity for me to respond, I will. I'll post any successes I see here.
Some natural traffic to my blog, as well as high-PR backlinks should result. So far I've responded to about 7 inquiries, and I've gotten 'published' once.
This first success was in response to a reporter looking for people who were 'working through Christmas'. The story is published a few minutes ago here:
[h=1]‘I’m Working On Christmas Day’: 7 True Stories[/h]
I'm the 3rd person mentioned. This is my quote:
So that's one blacklink for me. These guys get 2K visits/day normally. Because it's Christmas, they're posting new stories regularly, and the format of the post is multipaged, I'll be surprised if I get a single visit to my website from this particular post.
However, I am grateful to have been chosen by the reporter for the story. I love getting my name out there in ANY form, and I'm happy that she included a nice backlink to my site.
I'd like to keep this thread updated with any other HARO PR I can get.

It’s Christmas Day, and no matter your own religion or lack thereof, you almost certainly have the day off work. The post office is closed, the stock market is closed, the mall is closed. But that doesn’t mean everyone is off work today. Many McDonald’s restaurants will be open, for one. And plenty of white-collar workers will be using the day to get a leg up on the competition while you and I sit around in pajamas with family. Here are 7 real-life Bob Cratchits who are toiling away today, accompanied by photos of the Christmas movies they’re missing out on watching.
I'm the 3rd person mentioned. This is my quote:
While I won’t be communicating directly with my clients, and I’ve given my employees time off, this is the perfect opportunity to get a leg up on the competition. The way I see it: while everybody is off boozing, schmoozing, overeating, and oversleeping, I am CRUSHING it by getting a week ahead of them. While they look for any excuse they can get to relax, I work extra hard during this time to get ahead.
This Christmas I will be creating personalized pitch videos to send out to clients. While my competition complains that they “can’t find the time†to do such an activity, I’ll know they didn’t get the clients because they were busy drinking eggnog.
