Public relations (PR) helps startups get their name and message out to influence business success. PR develops relationships and builds reputation, unlike advertising which sells directly. A good PR story that gets media coverage can substantially grow sales. PR makes a company more discoverable online. To start, build relationships with journalists before pitching stories. Highlight compelling founder journeys and how the business helps others. Effective pitches target specific writers and publications by addressing what interests them. Social media is best used by regularly engaging with visitors through contests and surveys rather than just promoting.

Social Media is a waste of money?

Elasticity

The document argues that social media is a waste of money and nonprofits should optimize their efforts to reach the other 90% of people who are not seeing their social media messages. It recommends focusing on word-of-mouth marketing by making interesting content that makes people happy and enables them to feel important so they will talk about the nonprofit to others in their network. Rather than spending money on social media ads, nonprofits should use social media to engage their existing supporters so those supporters will influence others in their personal networks.
