PR hooks can easily be created using Google News as a PR hooks generator.  Watch the video below to see the process in action. This is what I teach to PR companies as well as experts and authors.  I set a Guinness Record using these techniques.

In the video I show you how you can add in your keywords or even other peoples / topic keywords and generate ideas. These ideas are proven because they show up on major news outlets.

Here’s a second idea. I recently found a great tool with an unintended use.  If you are creating press releases and are looking for the right hook, why not try out this other nifty tool for PR hooks?

It was developed by the Hubspot people, who produce great marketing content and services.  It is designed to help bloggers come up with great topics.  In fact, much of what it outputs has the elements of Link Bait.  Link bait is a link to a blog or story that is so enticing that people what to link and share it.  Ummm… would that work on TV producer, radio and print folks?

I show it in the video above.
