Amanda, thanks for this. As a subject matter expert, I grew weary of HARO because I would write brilliant pitches only to never hear back. In fact, the conspiracy theorist in me ( we all have one, don't we?), suspected that many of these "journalists" were merely sourcing ideas from us for their own purposes as opposed to curating content for a publication. Anyway, I love your take on the new HARO, and I, too, am staying away. #LiveRemarkably
I think that many people are skeptical about this comeback. I think there is nothing better than Twitter and Qwoted. I'm also interested in how you use Substack. I have not used this platform
Agree! I think between Qwoted, substacks/newsletters (even journalists vetting other journalist friend's opps to help), FB groups, IG, X - people have found their groove without HARO. And I do subscribe to SOS, just like you said, there aren't always a ton of opps, which I don't mind either!
Did everyone get featured.com's email today about HARO? HARO came back a year ago, and it's called SOS. In Peter Shankman I trust. There's no need for another. I really like Substack and Quoted.

Hi,
Here is a link to a post about journalists using Substack.

I think most people are over HARO at this point. I've literally seen one positive comment.
Many thanks!
You were right! This is too funny! I also like TMX.
