Attend Bad Pitch Night School (during the day)

Mark your calendars for Wednesday, July 29 from 1pm to 2pm edt. Richard Laermer and Kevin Dugan are hosting Bad Pitch Night School (during the day).

Who belongs in PR and who belongs in Starbucks?
A lot of readers tell us nervously they hope they never wind up on our blog. Well this is a chance to hone your skills as Laermer and Dugan open the books and bring you the best advice we can fit into an hour.

What material will we cover? Call attendees will learn a smart, step by step approach to pitching that goes well beyond a simple email. From looking at the whole pitch lifecycle, including the truth about pitching bloggers and using social media in the pitch to tips to improve your news habits and the keys to pitch inspiration, we'll help you improve your game.

How much? The teleconference is $49.00(US). If you have a speaker phone, fill a conference room with your best and brightest to make the most out of this already insanely cheap price.

Bad Pitch Blog Scholarship Program! What would a school (and a recession) be without scholarships? Bad Pitch Blog will give out five FREE student scholarships and five free professional scholarships to those professionals "between jobs/in transition/laid off/out of work."
