Hello! I'm new to whole press release thing and I would be grateful if you can help me with some links and thoughts. 1. For what kind of website would you recommend PR ? 2. What are benefits of PR ? 3. How much money is involved if I want to promote fresh web 2.0 app.
Beware of scams and over-priced services: The easiest way would be to pay for ~3 or 4 'affordable' services, then... Do repeat business with the best one. Using 'One big agency' (expensive) wouldn't pay off unless you have a big budget... ...might as well develop your own media contacts, than pay big bucks. If you have a moderate budget I'd experiment with a few 'affordable' services'. Maybe, someone here will recommend good ones. Even then: "Beware of scams and over-priced services"
Some good services i think the best to get some more exposure is manual directory submission service and Article submission service.
