Free Media List Service Offers PR Training Book and Free Media List to New Signups

April 23, 2010 - PRLog -- Saluda, NC, April 14, 2010 —PitchRate.com is excited to extend a special limited-time offer to all its new signups.  Any expert or publicist who signs up with the free media list service, PitchRate.com, will have the opportunity to purchase the Wasabi Publicity PR Cookbook and receive a free media contact list with over 450 radio contacts in the top U.S. markets.

PitchRate.com (http://www.PitchRate.com) is a free online service connecting experts with journalists from magazines, newspapers, radio, TV and online sources. Since its inception in February 2009, PitchRate.com has sent out distributions to tens of thousands of experts in an amazingly diverse array of topics.

Reporters use PitchRate.com to find experts on subjects such as publishing, marketing, parenting, finance, healthcare, interior design and product reviews. But PitchRate.com also includes requests for “everyday” experts — such as current queries for men and women to share their stories on how they’ve given back to their communities and what not to do when writing a business plan.

Drew Gerber, CEO of Wasabi Publicity and PublicityResults.com, created PitchRate.com because he realized journalists on deadline need a platform to contact credible experts quickly and efficiently. PitchRate.com is the only service that rates the expertise of sources based on reporters’ reviews from previous interviews and other criteria.

Gerber also wanted to help experts make a difference in the world by giving them the opportunity to gain exposure for their books, products and services through a platform that made it easy for experts to connect with top tier media. “PitchRate is a great way to connect with journalists and find out what they’re looking for,” Gerber says. “Combine that with the PR Cookbook and free media contact list we’re offering to all our new signups and it can really put you into the fast lane for gaining results.”
