Press Releases Worth Millions...how You Can Write Them

By: Daniel Z. Kane

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.

If you write and submit press releases properly, you can reach thousands...maybe even millions...of people for free, or at very little cost. But you have to know what you are doing.

Here is what you have to do.

If a press release is merely an advertisement, it will not be published widely. In fact, it may not be published at all. Every release must have some news value.

You can see what kinds of news releases are likely to be published by reading your target publications...the publications in which you would most like to have your releases carried.

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.

Check your sentence structure, spelling, punctuation, etc. An editor may correct a mistake or two, but every mistake multiplies the chances of your release winding up with the morning coffee grounds.

Unlike advertising, where repetition is accepted practice, the shorter the release (within reasonable limits) the better its chance of publication.

Hire a writer to compose your releases if you are uncertain of your skills. And, don't be afraid to pay for distribution. You'll be pleasantly surprised at how little it costs.

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.

Do what many experienced marketers do. See if you press releases, with or without a little editing, can be used to add content to your website, can be adapted to become a blog article, or can be used as copy in your print 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?
