Hey,

If you look closely to the stats you will notice that some countries have more EBT-ers as others. Why is this? The answer is very simple. Go and have a look at the press section of EBT. Mediacoverage is very important to get bigger and more succesfull. So I was thinking, what can we do? Well, the answer is simple again: get some mediacoverage. I think the timing is perfect. Media don't have much news in the summer. So why shouldn't we help them out with telling them our story? I'll bet the chances are very high that they will print it, because of lack of newsitems. And the positive about it is, that people have vacation so more time to read their paper!!!!

So let's all work together and get some newscoverage. Here's what to do.

1. Go to this site ( http://www.onlinenewspapers.com/ ) and pick your country. Try to find an emailadres of the headeditor or editorial-team.
2. Send an email with subject: Press Information Kit Eurobilltracker. This will get their attention and don't trow your mail in the thrashcan right away.
3. Tell them how wonderfull EBT is and how succesfull we really are. (Example for email below)
4. After you have send an email/emails, post here which media you have contacted so that we don't spam over and over the same newspapers + you can claim the article if it's in the newspaper!

What is in it for you? Eternal thanks from EBT-er who get hits and since you are picking newspapers/media from your country, your chances for a hit will increase dramatically.

I bet if everyone who reads this sends only one email, it will get us a bunch of articles

Mr Euro

More articles -> More visitors -> More Bills -> More hits -> More More More

Thtas a good idea, but needs to be coordinated a little. Doesn't make sence if 20 people send the same mail to the same newspaper

Since it was my idea, I have gone first and contacted "Clickonline BBCWorld"

Good luck everybody!

Good idea. The number of users is definately not increasing quick enough. But I think we need an "official" press release with a contact adress etc. Maybe there's someone with some experience in the field of journalism ?

I would offer my help translating that stuff to german (from english). It would be also great, if the press release would have a decent layout with screenshots an so on. I have access to such software, but I'm not really familiar with that.
Finally, that document could be faxed quite easy from a PC (I could help there as well). I think countless fax numbers of newspapers or magazins can be found on the web.

It's a nice idea. Have you already send it to Belgian newspapers?

Nope, I didn't! Look at the press-section many of the newspapers did already published an article on EBT. Maybe an email about a follow-up will do the trick.

Ciao,
Mr Euro

Well, 'Zwitserland' isn't English It's Dutch !
Switzerland would be better I think

Anyway, I think there will be other people sending mails to Belgian newspapers, so I don't think it would help if I mailes them too.

Since you've contacted all of these papers, I've brought the site to attention of a regional paper, BN/ De Stem which is distributed in the South-West of The Netherlands.

Hey,

I submitted another press information kit to Internet News (Italy)

Mr Euro

More Articles -> More Visitors -> More Notes -> More Hits

have you sent something to the french press?

No, my French isn't that well. And I don't think the French people really like to get English emails

Why don't you try and send a few. If one paper of a country prints it, many will follow. We have seen this in Belgium.

Mr Euro

So you all want hits, but no one seems willing to do something for it. Strange people!

Come on! Email some newspapers!!!

<EDITED> I have just send one to Athene News in Greece! </EDITED>
