I've sent a few out with no reply thus far. I think it needs to get posted on one initially for credibility before others will even bother with it...

Consider working with someone who has had success? Reach out to someone you've backed who has already done it. Send them a message asking for their contacts?

Generally, the best way to pitch is to first send a press release to your target person-and then follow-up by telephone.

I picked this up from the following website:

Hope this helps.

A lot of people I've talked to who ran successful crowdfunding campaigns believe paying 2-300 bucks for the PR services is worth it. We'll probably do the same for our campaign next week.

Let me know if you have any success, I am in the same boat as you. I've been sending it out all over the place, but no luck so far. I may try a paid release on PRweb.

I'm glad that I read this thread because to be honest I have not planning on resending Press Releases that I sent out before, but I will now. Thanks.
