 Are you a fan of Donny Deutsch and CNBC's The Big Idea? www.bigideadonny.com . I am and if you are not familiar with him, he is someone you will love to know. You see Donny is a believer in two fundamental truths:
1. Anything Is Possible and,
2. the American Dream is for everyone,
if you are willing to do the work.
One of Donny's tips is to get free publicity for your book, your product or your service by having the media cover your story. It can happen for you when you take the steps to make it happen, by yourself or with a team.
Okay, well who am? Cick Here for my bio, or email me and I'll prove it and send you my 8 page resume full of specifics and measurable results. Believe me, it is exciting to see your name in a recognized magazine. Your heart races and you want to jump up and down like a kid who wins the big prize; I know first hand having been featured in Entrepreneur Magazine
as a Business Coach. I also know first hand from my book being featured in Cosmopolitan, Complete Woman, Zink and more. I want you to know that you are not alone on your journey. 
I still get that excited when one of my clients lands a story or a tv interview , and we jump up and down together.
I know the thrill of victory-- I met the magnificent Oprah Winfrey with a client. I know the agony of defeat--the war in Iraq happened the week our book, I Am Diva, Every Woman's Guide To Outrageous Living was released and there was a news blackout for 8 weeks. Publicity is a roller coaster of emotions and what a ride it is. As a fellow passenger on the roller coaster, let me share some of what I've learned along the way--for this story is about you and your dreams.
My most important lesson is, nothing is at it appears. From a list of 174 women who attended book signing, I began an online community of women at www.distinctivelydiva.com and have over 20,000 women from around the world letting their inner light shine (the true definition from Diva). Our book did very well and was in Cosmopolitan, Grace, Complete Woman and more. I started my journey thinking the book was the destination, but it was only the starting line for my work with those pursuing their dreams. The journey I still love today.
Let me tell you a bit about the Media Match program. It is a wonderful publicity program that matches your expertise to a journalist, TV show or website that is looking for what you have. It's a bit like Babe Ruth at bat, when he hit, he hit a home run and when he missed he struck out.
A Lesson From The Babe
'How to hit home runs: I swing as hard as I can . . . I swing big, with everything I've got. I hit big or I miss big. I like to live as big as I can.'
--Babe Ruth
Babe Ruth created a World Record that survived many, many baseball seasons because he kept showing up at the plate with his bat in hand. With the Media Match program I show up to pitch you to the media when they are working on a story. That makes all the difference in the world and when it hits, it hits big. Publicity is not a science, and if you story is right for the journalist and the timing is right on the pitch, you have a media home run.
The greatest thing of all is you get to keep putting your money into your business. You never pay the enormous fees for a private publicist; try $3,000 to $6,000 a month with no guarantees. You also don't pay $2,500 for a sidebar mention in a magazine. As a member of Media Match you pay $189 a month or a quarterly fee of only $500, with a guarantee. If you are not picked up for a story in your first 3 months, we continue to pitch for you on us, no matter how long it takes to find your perfect match.
There are also many amazing benefits of being in our network, a 60 minute strategic consultation with a Master business strategist, a connection to the Harvard Community, learning about promotional opportunities, being listed as an expert and speak on one of the nations highly respected news services, as well as being featured on our high traffic websites.
We're so sure that Media Match is an outstanding program you can try it for 6 weeks for $99 and we’ll give you the Expert/Speaker listing for a year whether you continue with the service or not.
If you are working 24/7 on making your dreams come true, doesn't it make sense to have a pro in your corner watching for opportunities for you? Give us a call 310-379-9620 and we’ll give you a complimentary 15 minute consultation so you can judge for yourself. I promise you'll find it time well spent.
Try us for 6 weeks and get a one year Expert/Speaker Listing with PR Newswire for only $99 
I look forward to talking with you soon.
All the best,
PS I answer my own phone and personally pitch your story to the media. Why? Because I am really good at it and get so excited when we hit a home run together. Give me a call today, 310-379-9620

One of the secrets to getting great media coverage is knowing when to pitch the story.
It's NOT That Hard To Get The Attention Of The Media...
If You Know Where and When To Look For Them.
Most people think you have to "pitch" stories to the media to get their attention and get your story covered. If asked, the media will tell you the truth--that's the worst way to get their attention. And the most expensive media to secure.
They're already working on a story or assignment from an editor. In fact, they send out 150 emails a day looking for expert resources to quote for their newspaper or magazine articles, TV news, entertainment and lifestyle shows.
Who Gets These Emails?
1. Expensive PR Firms and
2. MyMediaMatch.com
The Trick in getting great placements is to match your expertise to the article they're already working on. You are in the right place at the right time with Media Match.
That's what Media Match does everyday. We put you in the right place, with the media who needs your expertise, right now.
Have you ever read a magazine article, listened to a television show or speaker and said to yourself, "That could have been me? Why were they chosen?"
- Did they know more than you do?
- Are they more experienced than you are?
- Do they make more of a difference than you do?
Of course not. As you probably know, it isn't because they know more than you, but they do know a secret you don't know.
They knew how to reach the media, when the media was ready to be reached.
Most of all, they probably didn't pitch themselves.
Media Match takes all the pressure off you and delivers the publicity you need.
When it comes to the media, just like business, it helps to come highly recommended. That's why so many people use PR firms. The problem is PR firms are expensive and don't guarantee results. Media Match not only gets results, often within days of joining, and we guarantee you'll get placed. In fact, we give you
our guaranteed, no-risk, all reward program.
Wouldn't you love to know what stories journalists and reporters are working on that have your name written all over them?
You don't have to guess anymore. We're watching your back and create an Expert and Speaker listing that can be seen by 75,000 member journalists, meeting planners seeking speakers, colleges and the corporate community, that looks like this:
Who's looking at these expert profiles?
Reporters, authors, screenwriters, bloggers, consultants, corporate researchesers, government offices, industry analysts, pr and marketing firms, publishers, academic researchers, financial analysts, and more. Wouldn't you want them looking at YOU?
Media Match Changes The Game
At Maureen O'Crean PR we're not re-inventing the wheel, we're giving it an upgrade.
Here's how Media Match works
1. We get 150+ story leads from 300 industries every day (Secret: These are the same leads all the big PR firms are getting)
2. We read them up to 4 times a day looking for a good fit for our clients' expertise and what the reporter needs.
3. BAM!, when we get a match, we pitch our expert to the reporter (and we're really good at this)
4. We connect the reporter to our expert
5. You're quoted as an expert!

Here's what Nichole Torres of Entrepreneur Magazine said about our service:
"Over 3/4's of the pitches I receive are useless. We get a lot of pitches and Maureen made it so easy to pick her client for my story. She gave me all the information I needed, followed up on my request for an interview, called to confirm that I received the email, set up an appointment by phone and placed the conference call for the interview with the client herself. It was a pleasure."
