The Right Way to Write a Press Release

By Pinky Arnisola


There are all sorts of reasons to publish your press releases online; you can reaffirm your brand while building up lots of targeted traffic and backlinks that will help you raise your ranking within the search engines. Of course the fact is that not all Internet Marketers can make press releases work for them and there are lots of reasons for this. In this article we are going to explore a few of the simple things that you can do to ensure that you achieve success with your press releases.

Don't just attach your press release to the mail you send out to journalists because that isn't going to get you anywhere. As you already understand, journalists are super busy and don't want to get attachments from people that they don't know and this is why you need to make sure that you do not make this mistake. So does that mean that your only option is to copy and paste your whole press release into the body of your email? This idea isn't super terrible but it isn't exactly recommended. When you want to offer the most professional image of your company possible, you should simply write a short and to the point description of the release you have written and then link to it--easy!

Your entire goal is to start well with your press release, immediately after the headline and the important part is the first paragraph. Give your prospects the basic information that they require to understand the purpose of your press release in the starting.

You should always be asking yourself whether or not your your target audience can truly relate to your press release and whether or not a real connection can be made for them. It is very important that your readers feel a connection to your press releases because if they don't, they won't feel complete and that's not good. Make some time to look through the content of your press release with a fresh look to see if you've addressed this factor. If you find that your press release is lacking in the "connection" area, then you need to work on it a little bit more to make sure you correct this.

Most Internet marketers these days make very common mistakes in terms of press release publication and distribution; they try to make large leaps and forget that it is more important to start with small steps. The tips we've talked about in this article are just the start; you will learn so much more as you move forward and work on press release marketing. Once you've figured out the inner workings of press release distribution you'll have a lot easier time finding success with it.
