    Hi, does anyone have any experience about press release submission services? I'm very busy and would like to just pay for this or outsource it to someone. Maybe someone can recommend a service or person somewhere? :p

    I like prweb. But I have never seen much justification for paying more than their basic package, unless you have a really good reason for doing so. I found that one did just fine, and the others weren't much better.

    What's your budget? How much return do you want out of this endeavor?

    On the lower end there are people who offer press release submission services to free PR sites, and on the higher end there are services like PR web and others.

    I'm interested in a submission service to free PR sites. I'm not sure how much I should spend on it. Under $100 perhaps, since it is just submission and not writing. If anyone knows a website where they have plans or packages listed, pls. let me know.

    Better Titles- Submission sites will usually let you have a title of 120 characters or more.
    Summary- The summary absolutely needs to capture the main concept of the post.
    Press Release Content- The entire point of writing a press release is that you are supplying a news item! Those reading your press release don’t want to read a ‘how to’ article from Ezine Articles. People want to see that you’re company is keeping up with the times, is innovative, and are great problem solvers, so be sure you show them that.
    Further information- Where readers of the press release can gain further details e.g. your web site.

    Thank you guys for these suggestions. I will try those, although they seem to be actual press release sites, not the PR submission service i was talking about.
