I am writing a book about online PR and online press releases. The idea is that rather than get a newspaper, magazine, radio or television station to look at your news you start online. Then you get search engine placement, on Google News and Yahoo News, on social networks/blogs (Twitter, Delicious, Facebook). Then it might also be picked up by mainstream media. TITLE: I Need a Killer Press Release, Now What?!? A Guide to Online PR Author: Janet Meiners Thaeler Guidelines: 1- Keep the design and font simple. The graphic must look good when it's seen as a thumbnail. You must be able to read the title and get the concept quickly. 2- DO NOT use a newspaper or a mouse in the design unless it's creative. I already have a design with a newspaper coming out of a computer screen and one with a mouse coming out of a newspaper and don't like them. 3 - I like this design of a book by the same publisher: http://happyabout.info/twitter/tweet2success.php 4 - I'll attach the one I like best. I would choose it but it makes it look like the book is about Twitter (blue birds). There's a story in the book about a man who got a ton of free pr from a publicity stunt he did. He drove an old car across the country to prove that you could drive a cheap car in this economy. He had the URL for his web site on the side of the car. The site lists cars that are under $1000 on eBay. He said I can use any of his images - so I attached a cover shot of my idea. It's way too busy and you couldn't read or understand it as a thumbnail image. This is a 24 hour contest. The winner gets $40 and second place. I will try to leave feedback as you submit your entries. Contest ends at 4pm MST. THANK YOU!!
