I’ve Been Asked This a Lot Lately…
Here You Go (Press Releases)

prpI 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.

It’s delivered via email, so you have to sign up and you can do that by go ing here.

It covers:

  • What a press releases are and why you need them.
  • How to put the pieces of your release together.
  • Making sure your press release is newsworthy.
  • Where to send it.

…and a bunch of other stuff. Anyway, it’s here if you need it.
