Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I think you are forgetting about the press DATABASE that they offer. While their press requests database might just be a "slightly upgraded version of HARO" (I'd argue that it's way better since fewer people have access to it = higher chance of successful pitch.). You also have unlimited access to their database of reporters/bloggers/etc that you can find and pitch based on their beat, pitching preference (i.e. email, phone, social) and their publication. It's an easy and effective way to find large numbers of names and emails that you would otherwise spend hours/days/weeks searching for.

I tend to use Wistia over Vimeo for that exact reason, it reduces client confusion and time for answers, Not to mention their restrictions on size and bandwidth for the 200 level pro membership! Great Tip.

By "self-hosting" I meat using a service like Vimeo or Wistia to have that content be associated w/ your domain as opposed to youtube. I apologize for using the incorrect term in my rush to ask the question! Thanks Matt.

Generally speaking self hosting of video is good for SEO.  But if a client has a weekly/daily webshow that they will be launching (from scratch), how should we handle the hosting? Is onsite still better? Should we use Youtube to start and gain traction and than swtich once we have built viewership or Should we use self hosted video and than post it to Youtube at a later date?
