IndiPR.com - Connecting Businesses with Bloggers in few clicks

Indiblogger, one of the fastest growing blogging community in India has got nag of trying new things to not only give deserving support to bloggers but also to help various businesses when it comes to marketing. Now it has come with a new platform called IndiPR.com and by the name it’s easy to guess that it is a platform for PR activities for businesses but it is not complex like other currently existing process of doing PR. Indiblogger Team has worked hard to make this process simpler and smoother for both Businesses and Influencers.

Current Popular PR process:

Currently Businesses through their marketing / PR team try to search for bloggers to carry out the press releases. Each time there is some new thing happening in the business that need to be told to public, PR team has to repeat same stuff of trying to search for bloggers and then negotiate for remuneration, sometimes this task becomes really exhaustive and cumbersome and this might affect the future contracts between bloggers and businesses if things go out of hands.

Karthik DR, Co-founder & Business Head at IndiBlogger says, “The amount of time that people spend in trying to identify and contact influencers is huge. With IndiPR.com, you don't have to worry about any of this as the system just needs your Press Release. The rest is history!”



What is IndiPR.com?

IndiPR.com is based on an automated influencer targeting model aka A.I.T.E that connects the respective businesses with the influencers of same domain and expertise in just few clicks. The business team has to go to IndiPR.com and submit their press release and their job is done. The system itself triggers the process of identifying  suitable bloggers who are linked with Indiblogger and intimate them about what is required to be done and how much is remuneration, if the blogger is ok, all he/she has to do is accept the assignment and complete it within the timeline. 

As per Anoop Johnson, Co-founder & Director of Marketing at IndiBlogger “With a starting budget of just USD 150, a business of any size will be able to get their press releases published by influential bloggers with a few clicks”. In the new system there is internal algorithm that gives points to influencers for each work done along with the feedback points given by business for which assignment was done. It helps the businesses for next assignments and also helps the system to take more precise automated decision. IndiPR.com team is looking forward to continuously improving this system and also add few more aspects of branding like organizing events for influencers through IndiPR.com.


Indiblogger team has always tried its best to give proper platform to bloggers and IndiPR.com is one such step in that direction. According to Renie Ravin, the Founder and CEO of IndiBlogger “We believe that this system will help Influencers with fresh and new content on their site every day. In a way, you could be writing about the next Google without even realizing its immense potential.”
