Blogger and press sites are typically always on the look out for
stories and love hearing from startups like yours - as long as you
aren't writing to the top tier publications and their busy managing
editors.
A great way to easily identify a bunch of high profile blogs in
a your niche industry is:
- Go to Alltop.com
- Search for a generic term related to your taget audience or
product (I put in 'photo')
- Pick the right category
- Visit each and every one of those sites and make note of the
reporter's names, the founder's name and the name of the
blog/site
- Add this information to the spreadsheet attached to the last
task
- Email everyone with a personalized email at the same time with
your press kit
- Be ready to follow up
