How to Write and Publish a Press Release Successfully - By: Michelle Jayes

It is absolutely essential to get masses of quality targeted traffic to your website if you want to have a successful internet marketing business and writing press releases is a great way to do this.

As most newbie internet marketers start off with very limited capital, the good news is that this is a very effective publicity method and is available either free or at very low cost.

By learning how to write and publish press releases for your internet business whenever you launch a new project you are maximizing your chances of getting your message out to many interested people and the best part is that it can be done with very little cash outlay.

By getting your press release out at the right time, there is always the opportunity that an established journalist may pick it up and run a feature on it for you.

One of the big benefits is that it will be picked up by various news wire services over the internet. This will give your website lots of links and they will come from high ranking websites. Other website owners are likely to publish your article on their websites which in turn will generate even more links to your site.

As your website gets promoted more by the search engines the traffic to your site will increase exponentially which will result in higher page ranks. Using this method regularly is one of the best things you can do to get yourself branded as an expert in your field.

Just remember, however, that these benefits will only happen if your press releases are effective. Unfortunately there are many of them that are totally ineffective. The news wire services receive hundreds of press releases daily, so to make sure that yours is one that gets picked up and published you need to follow some simple steps.

Always place your company name and contact details in the top left hand corner where the editor will be able to find them easily.

Concentrate on writing an opening paragraph that vividly portrays a picture of the problem that your service or product can solve. Follow this with an explanation of the way in which you are able to provide a solution. It is at this point that you will mention your website URL, and repeat the name of your website and product a couple of times in order to impress it on your reader's memory.

You need to write to your target market in a language that they can understand in order to connect with them and get their attention, but also remember that the editor is the first person that you will need to convince.

His time is limited so make it easy for him by keeping your sentences and paragraphs short. Make use of the white space as it makes for easier reading and keep your article to no more than 250 - 300 words.

Ideally include a photograph if this is possible as it will increase your chances of the press release being picked up and it stands an even better chance of being more prominently displayed.

It is really not difficult to learn how to write a good press release and get it published. It's an inexpensive way of generating great publicity for your website and helps to get you branded as an expert in your field.
