I’ve Been Asked This a Lot Lately…
Here You Go (Press Releases)
I don’t know if it’s the emergence of the “new media” or what. Or maybe people finally realizing the power of press releases, but I’ve been getting a lot of questions lately on that very topic.
Now, I can’t possibly go through each and every question (my baby and my 2 boys would be REALLY annoyed that I’m cutting into Mommy Time), but I can tell you that I have a tutorial that answers a LOT of your questions about starting a press release campaign with YOUR marketing objective in mind.
In fact, this tutorial has been around for a long time…but I’ve just recently gone through it to ensure it’s up-to-date and ready for you to consume.
