What? Me Write a Press Release?

Nope...press releases aren't just for big companies. They are the perfect way for a the little guy or girl to get TONS of publicity without shelling out tons of cash. Maybe you can't afford a full-page ad in a newspaper, but you can certainly get your story plastered all over the front page of your local paper. And let's face it, having the media write about you is like an ENDORSEMENT for your business..you can't buy exposure like that.

People read the news like it is pure truth, yet they look upon ads with suspicion. I'm not sure about you, but I'd rather have my business be part of the news.

If you've been thinking of writing a press release or you haven't the foggiest clue what a press release is, be sure to sign up for my free press release writing tutorial and you'll have your first release written and distributed in no time.

Alice, I have learned everything from you about press releases.

I just sent another one out today. I always get those nice PRweb emails that say 'we have rated your press release a (whatever it was). We can tell that you have taken the time to carefully craft your press release.' Now that is pretty cool.

The last PR I sent out was viewed by over 65,000 people according to the PRWeb stats. Good grief, can you imagine what that kind of exposure would have cost my via more traditional promotional means?

Kelly,

It sounds like it's worth spending $10+ at PRweb to get the additional exposure. Do you know if you get similar results by not upgrading to the enhanced distributions?
