Hey guys, im sorry this may be a stupid question but exactly how do you go about press releases? how do you make them and where?
Not a stupid question, however, a little diligent use of the search tool at the top of the page will bring up hudreds of relevant threads you can scan through for lots of great information, resources, outlets, etc.
(Free) Resource For Press Release Writing http://books.lulu.com/content/195037 I just got it from WebWriter. It tells you everything you need to know about Press Releases. Its a free download. BB
I agree. I came here literally a week or so ago not knowing anythign about press releases and wanting to learn. I now know a HECK of a lot more than i did by using the search on this forum. I'm so glad i found this place...
Too bad the download is outdated- but fortunately the forum has plenty of great information available!
Use the link in my sig. I'm a PR professional, and I give away a good number of tips on press release writing, as well as two sample templates (one for manual / print distribution and one for online distribution sites) through BizAmmo.com.
Just a quick question I couldn't find an answer to, do you write Press Releases in 1sy, 2nd or 3rd person?
3rd person. "I"s and "you"s can make it come across as an advertisement. If you're writing it for your own company, just pretend it's being written by someone else and about you. Jenn
just be ready with ur press release and search for submit press release with your relevant keyword and will get list of resources where u can go sign up and publish your news
Wow, this thread has solved my problem also. Even I was trying to find out more about press releases. Thanks to everyone.
They can, but not always. PR.com is a better bet for that if Google news inclusion is a priority with free distribution.
