It used to be that a Press
Release was a channel for individuals or companies to alert
a major publication such as a newspaper that there was
something worthy of press coverage somewhere.
Today, the press release is
fast becoming a medium in which a business can free
publicity for themselves; provided of course that there is a
reason for a journalist to pick up the story. Our
guest writer today gives you some of the inside scoop on the
concept of Press Releases.
Linda Caroll presents another
interesting take on the world of business and what holds us
back. Bloggers beware: Kenn Sword is up again this
week with another helpful section of his series called:

Get out of your own way?
I read this at FastCompany this morning...
"Everybody here has the ability to do anything I do and much beyond. Some of you
will and some of you won't. For those who won't, it will be because you get in
your own way, not because the world doesn't allow you."
Warren Buffett speaking the University of Washington
When I read that, I couldn't help but think of the many, many people sending the
tsunami of emails that I delete every day. It occurs to me that most of those
emailed "opps" are probably sent by people wondering why "the Internet" doesn't
work for them and they aren't making any profit. I wondered how many of them are
standing in their own way.
But then, many of them don't really have 'businesses' - they think an affiliate
link is a business.

Designing a Page That Compliments Your Content
Pt.6 (Objects)
Objects
Objects are small pieces of code that will be added to your site to
make it unique and to provide useful content for your readers
outside of your own writing. They can be as simple as a page counter
or as complicated as an online poll or a RSS feed, but all will be
laid out on your page with two ideas in mind: visual harmony and
usefulness.
Your page, when viewed for the first time, should speak most loudly
to your theme. Whether your theme is artistic or political or
technological, every object on the page should do its best to
illustrate and reinforce that theme in the mind of the reader.
Some objects, however, will not relate directly to your theme as
much as they will to the operation of your site. A traffic counter
is a perfect example. While bloggers are excited when their traffic
grows and want to tell the world about it in capital letters and
bold fonts, most readers are not terribly interested. Therefore it�s
good practice to feature objects that directly relate to your theme
and content close to the top of your page where the reader will see
it first. Operational or structural objects, like a list of blogs
that have sent you recent traffic, belong closer to the bottom of
the page.
Remember, your objective is to catch the first time reader�s
attention and to illustrate, in as little time as possible, the
theme of your site. Every object on your page should be placed with
that in mind.

Powerful Press Release Distribution Tips
By Diana Barnum
While press release writing is important, press release
distribution plays an equally important role in your return on
investment (ROI) with this marketing / public relations tool.
Because without targeted distribution, many prospects, clients
and other interested parties may not even read your latest
announcement or hear about it via other channels; TV, radio,
print publications, etc.
In order to bring your news to light with more of your targeted
audience, try some of these tips for a more successful
distribution:
Media List Management
Start a folder on your computer and in hard copy form for media
lists in order to keep a list of contacts readily available and
updated. Identify media outlets - both online and off - in
your targeted industries; for example: Business and Marketing.
Add local, regional, national and International channels to
cover television, radio, newspapers, magazines, online
publications, newswire and other services.
A targeted media list is an invaluable tool for most businesses.
The best way to build your list is to carefully watch, read and
listen, then track media publications and shows, and to identify
reporters and producers who would be interested in your story.
Contact the media outlets as needed for their most recent
contact name, email address, phone and fax number, before
sending your information.
Tip: Using a contact management software program such as ACT! or
Maximizer for this purpose can help you build and maintain
relationships with the media. Even using Excel to create your
own spreadsheets helps with organization.
There are several sources online that will help you build your
media list; however, keep in mind that not all of these sources
will have up-to-date media information.
Newswires
Newswires distribute your press release directly to editors,
other media outlets like Routers and they also publish the press
releases on their website. Many journalists rely on newswire
sites for information and story ideas. Wires are often used by
larger companies and non-profit organizations. They have the
advantage of immediately reaching a broad range of media outlets
across the country. The cost is usually $275 - $600 to send a
single release, with pricing based on the number of words in
your release (a minimum word count will usually apply.)
Mail, Fax, or Email
You can send the news release directly to the media yourself,
using the mail, fax, or email. When in doubt about the best
option, ask the journalists you will be sending your release to.
This can have the advantage of creating a more personal
connection with the people you send the release to. It can also
be a more cost-effective option if you are targeting a small
list of journalists.
Database Building
Newswires offer a fast way to send your press release to a large
number of editors. However, you can also build your own list of
media contacts using any of a number of media databases. Most
charge either a monthly, annual or per use subscription fee. Search
online for �media databases� and �media lists.�
Timing
It is best to send your news release early in the day and you
will have a better chance of getting your story noticed if your
release is not sent on a busy news day. For example, sending a
news release out as a major strike or natural disaster was
taking place would not be good timing. Monday and Tuesdays are
usually busy news days and by Friday most assignments have been
handed out as journalists get ready for the weekend.
Helpful Tips:
1. Don't send email press releases with attachments - they will
be deleted immediately upon receipt.
2. If sending an email release, make sure to write the release
within the body of the message.
3. Don't bug editors. Editors receive hundreds of press releases
on a daily basis. Chances are you will irritate most editors by
making a second contact to ask if they received your press
release.
4. Know deadlines of editors. If you are sending a time-sensitive
release, don't expect a magazine editor to cover your event
scheduled for next week. Find out what the appropriate "lead
time" is to send your press release for possible distribution in
their media.
5. If writing about a web site, make sure the site is updated
before you send your release. Editors will visit the site if
they have an interest in your product/service.
