Avoiding Home Business PR Scams
October 4, 2007 by Mary Emma Allen
Over at Startup Spark, Shannon Cherry posts some great advice on avoiding PR scams to gain publicity for your home business. In Careful of Scams to Get Media Coverage, she relates the experience of a client who was contacted and interviewed by a company rep who claimed they would put her on big name television…for a fee.
This scam technique apparently is cropping up, and unsuspecting business owners and individuals find their excitement squelched when they learn it’s only a moneymaking scheme…for the person/company approaching them. Read Shannon’s blog post so you’ll be aware if you are contacted.
