The business
What is this business?
A PR business gets clients into the news. Small businesses constantly have announcements worth covering (a launch, a hire, an award, a milestone) and no idea how to turn them into coverage. You write the press release, build the story pitch, and get it in front of local news, blogs, podcasts, and niche outlets. The platform drafts releases and pitches with you, so your judgment about what makes a story is the product, not your typing speed.
The opportunity
Why this model is overlooked
Big PR firms will not answer a small business's call, and small businesses assume PR is only for the big brands. That gap is the whole business: owners and coaches with real budgets sit unseen because nobody packaged brand plus PR at their size. You become their whole visibility department.
The money
How does it make money?
$2k-$20k/mo MRR
Our researched range: the low end is what a focused solo operator can realistically reach early, the high end a solid established single-owner operation, not the rare outlier. Monthly retainers across small-business clients, capped by the delivery capacity of a lean team.
PR earns two ways: one-off press releases priced per announcement, and monthly visibility retainers where the client gets a release cadence, a set number of story pitches, and outreach every month. Retainers are the real business; one-off releases are the front door that proves you can deliver.
The fit
Who is it for?
Writers, journalists, marketers, connectors, and anyone who can spot the story inside an ordinary announcement. It fits people who like talking to business owners and are comfortable following up until someone says yes.
The skills you need
- Spotting the newsworthy angle in an ordinary announcement
- Clear, tight writing in plain language
- Persistent, polite follow-up with journalists and editors
- Client conversations that surface what is actually new
The plan
Your step-by-step launch roadmap
- 1
Pick the businesses you will make famous
Choose one lane you understand (local restaurants, coaches, contractors, founders) and list the announcements they sit on all year. Work the niche through with Kenny on your dashboard.
- 2
Package one release and one retainer
A fixed-price press release with distribution outreach, and a monthly visibility retainer with a release cadence and a set number of pitches. Shape both in /offer-builder and price them with /calculators.
- 3
Make it official
Entity, EIN, and bank account through /start-a-business-checklist, a services agreement from /contracts, and your plan at /businessplan.
- 4
Build your outlet list
Local news desks, niche blogs, podcasts, and trade outlets for your lane, tracked in /crm so every pitch and reply has a record.
- 5
Write three releases at founder pricing
Draft them with /press-release-generator, angle them with /story-pitches, and get them placed. Real placements are your portfolio.
- 6
Convert coverage into retainers
Every placed story is the proof for the monthly retainer conversation. Close it with the structure at /five-minute-close.
- 7
Systemize and grow
Document your pitch process as checklists, track revenue as goals at /goals, and add clients only as fast as placements stay real.
