You can also target social media first instead of getting featured in the media. As per opinion, due to small investment avoid paying high to the media publication at the initial stage.

For startups, there are various ways that you can implement to get featured in media as well as in front of all over the world. During launching your product, it is important to set the marketing strategy. There are five core channels:

  • Paid marketing (SEM, display, refer and earn, etc)
  • Social media & viral marketing
  • Search engine optimization (SEO)
  • Partnerships & business listing websites
  • Press Release
For early-stage of any company, advertising or marketing is very expensive. Furthermore, Press Release and business listing websites become easier efforts as the company grows. :)
