The Proper Method for Writing a Press Release

Hi,
Creating and distributing online press release is an easy and effective way to get the word out about your website or product; there are dedicated websites that will help you distribute your press release to your target audience and actually get a response.'

Your press release's first paragraph is really important and that is why you need to be choosy about which information is included in it. Make sure you include the basics as people are going to have questions right in the start; answer their questions related to where, how, why and when right in the first paragraph, so that they don't really have any doubts and are comfortable moving forward.

You need to make sure that your press release starts out well and this happens right after your headline in the first paragraph. Give your prospects all of the basic information they need so that they understand what your press releases are about from the beginning. The middle of the week is the best time to email your press releases to people (like journalists). If, for example, you send it on a Friday, you are going to have less of a chance of your email being opened because the person you send it to is likely just getting ready for the weekend. If you send it on Monday, most people are recovering from their weekends and that is why the days in the middle of the week (except, obviously, for the weekends), are better when you mail your releases.

Make sure that your press release distribution isn't limited to just one avenue for release. Even though there are a few online services that are highly popular, such are PRWeb.com - you should still try to individually approach journalists and other not so popular press release distribution services that will help you reach out to a wider audience. The more press releases that find exposure, the more backlinks you can build and the more traffic you will generate both through direct and indirect methods. Getting as much as possible from your press release is all about understanding how important it is to build a good foundation before you jump into the fray. Make sure you do your research to make sure that you aren't trying to write your press release with just half baked knowledge. The more emphasis you place on providing good information to sales prospects the more likely people will be to buy based on your press release. Don't try to place too much hype or promotional text or your efforts won't get you anywhere. When your press release offers quality and value the results you want will come.
