E648: Entrepreneurs and marketers will say on TwitterX and Threads and TikTok… "Public relations is dead; it's worthless. Everybody gets their news from social media now."

But here's the thing.

It's not uncommon that a review of a product or service will be planted by a PR professional - and this manufactured credibility - this manipulated media - is what CAUSES the customer to purchase.

It's the long tail effects that make it worth while.

This is what public relations professionals and agencies are doing to achieve this credibility, and how you can do it too on a low budget.

Warning… it's a bit black hat and this show does not condone such behavior :D
