The tagline…

HARO = Help a Reporter Out. 

That’s an online service that connects journalists and experts. Journalists use it to get better info for their stories. Experts use it to get media mentions and backlinks 🔗

Elvis shares how he came up with the idea for PressPulse AI…

I was skimming through Twitter one day and bumped into a chat about HARO (Help a Reporter Out). A reply from a cool startup CEO hit home:

“The only problem I find with them is that now they send me 4 emails per day every day, and I sincerely read like 1-2 per week. Their deadlines usually are very tight as well. But def worth subscribing!”

I felt the same. HARO did get me some sweet media mentions before, but it’s a huge time-sink. Sifting through those emails felt like hunting for a needle in a haystack.

💡 That’s when…

I thought, why not redesign HARO emails and make it actually usable for busy people like us, with a dash of AI magic?

So…

I played around with an idea. Gave a user profile and a HARO query to ChatGPT and asked it to play matchmaker, rating it from 0-100.

With this approach, I filtered down the daily flood of 100 HARO spam to just 1-2 that actually make sense for you.

💬 In another post, he says…

I built it, validated it, launched it. Now I have 50+ signups and closing in on $100 MRR.

Don’t just scroll.

Pay attention. Listen. Keep note. Address a pain point.

You might just find your next big idea.

Sounds like that success was achieved only a couple of weeks after launch.

And I see the website now boasts about “70 happy users.” Minimum price is $15/month. So Elvis is likely earning $1000+ per month now.

However, even if this business doesn’t work out, I expect he’ll eventually hit a home run if he keeps going with this approach.

It’s simple enough…

• Keep an eye out for legit problems
• Build a good solution
• Show it to the people who need it
• Charge a fair price
