Gorkana Alerts

I signed up to this service a while ago and have found it really useful for getting contact names/numbers/emails for potential pitches.

Last week I decided to post a "Freelance Update" about myself just to raise my profile a bit. A BIT? My phone and email were going berserk on the first day and I've had emails every day since from PRs mentioning that they saw me on Gorkana and could they just share this product/client with me.

The service is free to join and post to for freelances and from my experience I'd say "go for it". If you're thinking of putting in a shout, here's mine for reference...
