Booked 103 press releases in 3 days for Friday's VON Focus
From Tuesday through Thursday, I "processed through" 103 press releases that were deemed worthy of being in the VON Focus electronic newsletter listing on Friday, October 19th. To get to 103, I have to filter out duplicates, marketing releases ("Come to our Free Webinar"), award/list announcements, and some other things that are not what we deem newsworthy (Wanna know what is newsworthy? Go visit www.vonmag.com and review our PR submission guidelines)
In a typical month, I print about 330-400 unique releases in a month through the electronic newsletter, with surges around VONs of around 500-550...
So this week was pretty brutal. Monday was no cakewalk either, with around 60-75 releases.
Add on to that a steady stream of "I wanna meet you at VON" e-mail, trying to put together articles for the print edition of VON Magazine, finalizing the on-line web form for VON Magazine's "Innovator" award and, well, it's been a pretty busy week by far.
I have already made one request to Chris Brogan to tazer someone in the Boston area. Chris responded by sending me his selection of "Don't tazer me, bro'" parodies floating around on YouTube. I responded by sending him my YouTube URL of an Iron Sheik interview where... well, there are some things I won't repeat on a public blog... Let's just say the former WWF/WWE wrestler brings a new meaning to the phrase "Make him humble."
