Did you know online press releases can be distributed to all major news sites like Yahoo!! News, search engines like Google and Bing,  online press release distributions sites and 30,000 journalists and bloggers.

Press Releases are the most popular means of providing publicity online and offline. They have many advantages that both small and big business owners can profit from.

 Why:

More traffic to your site – The press release that gets published on one of the media outlets will have your website link provided within it.

Build a brand – What better way to get your business name into the minds of your target audience or anyone who happens to read your press releases. The more a consumer sees your business name being mentioned the more likely they will remember it the next time they, or someone they know, is in need of your products.

Inexpensive way to get free publicity – Getting an effective press release written will cost you some money. Some will include the costs of submitting it for you. Carefully crafted press releases are key! The real publicity is free.

Gain Credibility – The press release can also help to get your business more credibility. Potential consumers will start to see you as an expert in your field and think that you should be the one to go to when they need the products you offer.

Submitting to 50 Top Press Release Sites can be a daunting and exhausting thought.  Truly, I would not suggest submitting to 50.  Setting up the online press release accounts is a tedious process.
