If you’re a small business person, and you don’t have a budget for this [PR], but you’re interested in how it works, either to do a little bit of it on your own, or to be aware so that when your budget grows, you are able to work with somebody like Melanie, ‘Simple Publicity’ is the book to get and to have on your bookshelf. It [the boook] explains the mechanisms and mechanics of PR, and this is very important to know how the game is played. But it also involves a lot of direct response smarts in the PR process. It weaves it together, which very, very few PR people are able to do. They don’t really think in terms of direct response. So, when you combine those two things, it’s very powerful.

“What you need to understand about PR in plain English! The book takes an in-depth look at what you are actually trying to achieve with publicity. Do you have a plan? What are the goals you are looking to achieve? What you need to know and how to deal with the inevitable set backs. Also, and most importantly, Rembrandt details for you what to say and what never to say in an interview. She lays out all the steps in a logical sequence and all you need to do is follow the roadmap she provides. BRAVO!”
I especially found the chapter about creating media kits valuable. You’ll find tips for what to include as well as how to format your information for both printed and online versions. The author also spells out exactly how to pitch a reporter, right down to the words to say in different scenarios. If you want to take your business to the next level of success quickly and easily, read this book! I found it extremely helpful.

The information in this book helped me get noticed by key media-members, increase my income and catapult my career success! Veteran publicist and SEO copywriter Melanie Rembrandt reveals her PR secrets in a simple format that’s affordable and easy-to-read. If you want to make more money and take your business to the next level, buy this book.
I wish that Simple Publicity was written when I started my business. If you’re a small business owner who knows that PR is crucial – but you have no idea what to do or how to approach editors – this is a fantastic resource! To me, one of the most impressive parts of the book discusses how to talk to a reporter. Melanie breaks down a number of “do’s” and “don’ts” including, “Ten simple questions you should never ask a reporter,” “How to talk in sound bites” (a great skill that’s important for people to practice) – even what to wear on camera. And I love how she discusses how to guide the discussion the way you want it to go. I had to learn those PR tips through trial, error and a lot of research. Having this information in one easy-to-read book makes this an invaluable resource. I also found that the book’s format made it easy to find what I was looking for – and the level of detail Melanie provides made it easy to understand the concepts. The terminology is clearly defined and the book is cleanly organized. For the time-challenged entrepreneur, that alone will save you tons of time. Plus, if you have no idea what to do first (or next,) Melanie’s easy-to-scan lists, chapters and topics will give you guidance in almost any situation. Not sure how to write a press release? Melanie breaks it down, step-by-step. Not sure how to pitch an editor? She’s got you covered. It’s like having a PR expert on call whenever you open the book. Even if you already own 10 books on PR, I’d still buy this book – what you learn will help your business (and your profits) for many years to come.
Melanie is a great publicist and PR pro and her book is full of great advice and “to do” lists. It is a great resource for all small businesses that need PR and don’t know how to get it. This is a fun book to read, an easy book to use, and any company or solopreneur can benefit from this.

Simple PR for all of us business owners. Melanie’s no-nonsense guide to PR is a breath of fresh air. No need to beat around the bush because this guide has most of what you need to DIY your way to PR success. Especially helpful for me is the chapter on “boosting your buzz” and how using online buzz can help promote your brand with low-cost Public Relations. My book is literally tagged with post it notes ready for me to go back to.
Melanie, thanks for writing ‘Simple Publicity.’ It provided a simple roadmap to do my own public relations and was extremely informative and helpful. I look forward to using all of the publicity and SEO tips, tactics and insights in it to introduce my new business to the media while saving time and money.
