Re: News Releases

What are the best news release distribution services?

[mikey4m]

Hi there!

I would like some ideas behind sending out news release! I have looked into some services on the web but wondered if anyone has tried a particular service which they have found to be effective?

Hope you can help!

I am going to try this one:

[prweb.com...]

They are free, but you can make a contribution, i think to get your release looked at quicker. You can make donations to get stars by your release.

I am not sure how effective it will be, but its an alternative to the usual +$500 per shot.

anyway take a look, hope this helps

Thanks, I have heard of Pr Web, and as a trial they seem the best option. Let me know how you get on.

Cheers

I have heard of some software that does the same thing... but have never used them. :(

All what you do is:

1) Write your contact info
2) Write your press release
3) Select what places you want to send it to (US, Canada.. everwhere... etc)
4) Send ;)

The media list in such software seems *pretty* good.. but don't have first hand experience yet.

We've talked about this recently on a slightly different note ... [webmasterworld.com...]

I've never used a freebie service before and I think I would be nervous about doing so ... I don't know that the service you use makes a huge difference ... but I don't know that it doesn't, either.

I strongly recommend anyone considering using Press Releases read "Press Here" by "Annie Gurton" (ISBN 0-273-65384-0).

Search Amazon for it or something, but DO NOT waste your time with a press release until you have read it!
