Facebook is a great platform for promoting virtually any brand, due to its very heterogeneous user base. Instagram is a great option for brands that rely heavily on images, such as clothing companies and retailers. It’s also particularly effective for reaching young adults. Google+ can be a great platform to reach men in the technology industry, as two-thirds of the network’s users are men, most of whom work in engineering or other technical professions.

Leimgruber | @misterpeej Pinterest is an excellent social network to reach women, especially for brands selling jewelry or clothing. For a business-to-business company, LinkedIn is a stronger choice for promoting business-related content and connecting with other corporate influencers. YouTube is a great means of providing that visual aide to take your product over the top. Googles new True-View is a great way to apply PPC dollars to getting targeted visits to your companies video.

- 26. Thought Leadership andGuest Blogging Most online news publications and blogs don't have an infinite supply of writers. They're not that profitable. They rely on experts to help offset the workload of writing articles. Getting a guest author role is very easy, if you have something valuable to offer! European Innovation Academy | P.J. Leimgruber | @misterpeej
- 27. Strategy In ANutshell Step 1: Identify 20 target publications that you want to be a guest author on! Step 2: Put together a personal brand package. This is very simple, basically a list of content that you've written, bullets on why you are an expert, and what exclusive piece of content you have to offer. Step 3: Track down the E-mail addresses of the editor, or use their online form, Tweet at them or message them on LinkedIn. People who live behind a computer are not very hard to find! Step 4: Wait for responses! European Innovation Academy | P.J. Leimgruber | @misterpeej
- 28. Pro Tip: GoogleIt! A great place to land a guest post or guest blog is through sites that are looking for guest authorship! TO FIND THEM - JUST USE GOOGLE • Here’s how: Search “Write for us” + Your Industry/Niche + Blog or “Guest Post” + Your Industry/Niche + Blog! • Use “quotes” around a term, this tells Google to look exactly for this term, in this particular order. Parse your queries by adding a + • This will help Google better narrow down your search and return laser focused results! European Innovation Academy | P.J. Leimgruber | @misterpeej

- 34. DIY PR: JustApply The Same Tactics Many people blindly reach out to the press and get a terribly low response rate. The most valuable aspect to lean PR is reaching out to the RIGHT journalist and handing them a story on a silver platter. Journalists also LOVE exclusive coverage of something. If you have data, or a piece of content that you're willing to publish ONLY with them, they'll be chomping at the bit! European Innovation Academy | P.J. Leimgruber | @misterpeej
- 35. DIY PR: StrategyIn A Nutshell Step 1: Identify 20 journalists that talk about student founders, startups, etc! Step2: Craft a compelling story. Maybe some data you collected, maybe the announcement of your funded company Step 3: Essentially write the story in bullet form for them. Let them turn into paragraphs. (It will come out exactly like you wrote it)! Step 4: Sell Exclusivity! Tell the journalist you'll give them an exclusive, but in return, you want more control over the content and language.! This can result in getting yourself or your company featured in a legit press outlet on the web European Innovation Academy | P.J. Leimgruber | @misterpeej
