When I first started my business, I can remember wanting to be in the newspaper.
I can remember sending all of the local newspapers information about my business
in hopes they would write an article about my services. Finally, it happened!
I received calls from 2 newspapers who wanted to write an article about my
services that I was providing in the community. I wanted to get the word out and I thought an
article in the newspaper would be the way to go. Oh boy, was I
wrong.
My articles were printed and the news was out.
Oh but wait! My phone wasn’t ringing off the hook. I kept wondering what
happen to the phones ringing off the hook like I heard from so many other
business owners. Now, I am not saying this will happen to you. I am
telling you what happen to me.
Years later I discovered Press Releases. Press
Releases are straight to the point and informative articles sent to media
personnel about your latest breaking news. If your Press Release is
picked up by the a news editor or producer it could reach millions. You
can either write your own or have someone else write one for you. I wrote my
own and it was free!! I found my own way to get the word out about
what I had to offer. I have gotten customers as well as sold books from writing
my press releases.
Be careful writing your own Press Release. If
you are not a good writer a poorly written press release can also hurt your
business. Press Releases show up in the search engines. There are
quite a few things that can be done with a press release. Anytime you do
anything with your business you should have a press release written and
distributed online and to the media. For example, if you launch a new product,
service, book or event. You will need to have a press release written to
gain exposure.
My latest press release has gotten 400 views in 2 days. A press release
is a great way to allow people to find out about your business.
Please, share your thoughts about press releases?
