Press Releases Worth Millions...how You Can Write Them
Go to: Previous Article Next Article
Well written press releases have produced great results for businesses of all sizes, from America's largest corporations to small neighborhood restaurants and one person websites.
Press releases, even if only moderately successful, can reach tens of thousands of potential customers. And, whether you pay for writing and distribution, or do everything yourself, no form of publicity is more cost-effective. However, you must do everything right.
Start with these simple rules.
Remember that press releases are also called news releases. An article that is nothing more than an advertisement for your product or service will not be published. Write about a topic that can be considered news, even if it is only about the opening of a new business or introduction of a new product or service.
Read as many publications as you can, particularly those read by your potential customers. Doing so will give you article ideas and teach you what kinds of articles are most likely to be well received by the media most important to you.
If your releases are long winded, editors won't finish reading them. And, if editors don't finish them, their readers will never see them at all. More is less...there's no doubt about it.
Incorrect spelling, improper punctuation, and poor grammar are death. If your press releases would make your high school English teacher cringe, get a friend to proofread them or hire a pro to write them. And, if a pro writes your releases, you should still have them proofread. Nobody is perfect, but your news releases should be.
In advertising copy, you tell folks what you are about to tell them, you tell them, and you tell them again. Not so in press releases. Less is more.
If you have any doubt about your ability to write an effective release, hire a professional. It's worth the relatively modest cost if the release generates enough press for you.
Be sure you get your release to the right people. Do some research and/or use a service to distribute the release. Find the media folks who might be interested in your release, and don't waste the time of others.
Be aware that your press release may also make suitable copy for your website, your blog, or your other promotional publications.
Don't just send out releases and hope for the best. Follow up with good research. If so, the more releases you send, the better sense you'll have of how to get the results you want. Measure everything...the topics editors seem to like best, the length of releases they favor, and the kinds of publications most likely to publish articles in your niche. As you analyze and adapt, your releases should become increasingly effective.
Now that you understand what is needed to write and distribute press releases that can move your business forward at the speed of light, why not start today?
