| March 2006 The Crucial Secret About High-Profile, One-Shot Media Placements They Don't Want You To Know WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW  The Internet is moving forward at a faster pace then ever and Net Connect Publicity wants to keep you informed and up to date on what you need to know. Our trusted relationships with online and traditional media means you have the opportunity to build a successful marketing and branding campaign that will keep you in the forefront of today's important issues. Your branding campaign needs to have several crucial elements in order for you to compete in today's tech savvy world. Net Connect now offers every strategy needed so you don't have to go to work with several different agencies to accomplish your goals. We are the one stop shop for your online and traditional publicity needs.We build RELATIONSHIPS between our clients and our media outlets and we don't charge expensive fees for the placements we make. We know that building your brand means ongoing media outreach over time and that is what works. So our fees are set accordingly so you can afford to maintain your media outreach. No single placement can give you the expert status and the credibility you need. You MUST create ongoing relationships. Pay for placement programs are designed by agencies who want to get tremendous fees for single placements that in six months won't affect the success of your campaign. BUILDING YOUR BRAND AND YOUR CREDIBILITY is what makes you the media's expert of choice and that is a process, not a placement. Net Connect Publicity is not about placements. There are plenty of agencies who will be more than happy to charge you thousands of dollars for the privilege of saying you appeared on the Today Show. However, it won't do much to help meet your goals if no one can distinguish how you are unique from all of the other experts in your field, no one knows what you are about, and no one has clear access to your work. YOU MUST BUILD YOUR BRAND. Then the media will come to you. The public will seek out your work and you will achieve your ultimate goal.
EDITORIAL OUTREACH Content Works. Regardless of what medium you choose for your publicity, quality, informative and interesting content has consistently proven to reach an audience in profound and permanent ways. People respond to content, they remember content and they talk about content. Websites allow you a forum to inform the public about your philosophy and the issues you care about. Through this venue the public forms an unspoken bond with you and your work. This is what creates success. DIGITAL OUTREACH Digital content is an exciting new format to deliver your message to audiences in every place media can reach. Whether someone is in their car, a hotel room or an airplane... or just relaxing in their own home or going for a walk with their MP3 Player, your message can impact their life in a positive and lasting way. Net Connect can distribute your digital content through a wide variety of platforms and formats to create the visibility for your products and services, and you too can directly sell these new digital products. VIRTUAL BLOG TOUR Blogs have also become an incredibly important medium for communicating with key audiences including consumers, influencers, shareholders, employees, critics, and the media. Blogs are searchable by search engines, they have additional searchable distribution points called "blog directories," and they are easily "subscribed to" by readers... making future blog entries become automatically delivered to the subscriber. This new form of communication has now become another vital element in your Internet publicity plan because of its popularity and direct connection to your potential customer base. 50 Million US Internet users visited blog sites in Q1 2005. That's 30% of all US Internet Users and 1 in 6 of total US population. Source: ComScore.
