Hi, I have a new site and would like someone to write a press release. How many words are they normaly? How much do you charge? It is an Seo related site. Thanks jason
Words: Generally looking at 300-600. With certain distribution models you'll need to keep it to around 380 words (including everything) to avoid being charged more. If you're distributing via fax, a good rule of thumb is to keep it to one printed page. Rates: You'll find everything from content writers to copywriters to actual PR people here offering the service, and you'll pay a pretty wide variety of rates depending on the quality you want and how you plan to use the release. If you're looking for a public relations person to handle your release, feel free to visit the link in my sig (first one) for my press release rates. If you'd just like to look at a template to get a feel for what it should look like when all is said and done no matter who you choose to write it, you can take a look at one of several press release templates I have available.
