How goes it. Big Russian bear hug to you! :)
I’m Dmitry Dragilev, founder of JustReachOut, I love helping startups find and pitch journalists who are interested in what they do.
I’ve published 1400+ articles in the last nine years on my own.
In 2014 I used unconventional PR to grow a startup from 0 to 40M+ pageviews and got acquired by Google.
In 2015 I built my personal blog from 0 to 5,500+ email subscribers in 9 months and made $100,000 in that timespan from this blog alone.
In 2008 I helped grow another startup from 0 to 5+ million users and eventually get acquired by AVG.
I’ve worked with Appsumo, Wistia and 100+ startups over the years, here are some videos from them talking about how I helped them.
So why did I build JustReachOut?
I believe that startups shouldn’t hire PR agencies or outside consultants to do their press outreach. Instead startups should do their own PR and learn how to do it right.
Doing their own PR saves startups and individuals TONS of money and frustration and actually gets better stories published about them.
I built this tool because I could not find a PR tool which showed me journalists have a genuine interest in what I have to say.
My goal with JustReachOut is to show you the most relevant journalists who would no doubt be interested in your story and help you build a lasting relationship with this journalist.
