062: Janet Murray on how you can do your own PR, 4 key ways get great coverage for your eCommerce business

Every once in a while I like to get a guest on who’s not a retailer, but who knows a huge amount about an area that you all keep asking me about! This week we’re really lucky to have Janet Murray on the show – Janet is a journalist and PR expert. I heard her speak at the NMEU conference back in June and I knew I had to get her on the show.

“How do I do PR?” is certainly in the top 3 questions I get asked most often. When I saw Janet run through her incredibly efficient and practical approach to getting BIG coverage I knew I had to have her on the show.  Janet is also the author of “Your Press Release is Breaking my Heart: A Totally unconventional guide to selling your story in the media”
