Press Release Marketing: Top 5 Reason's to Write a Press Release

May 15, 2008
You probably already know this, but sometimes it's nice to have a reminder of what you should be doing to get results in your business. Successful Business's have been using freee press since the invention of the printing press. Just yesterday while listening to Joe Vitale's newest online video, (posted on my Barefoot Marketing Strategies Blog) it hit me it's been a few years since I've talked about the power of press releases.

Now, let me ask you a question... Can you honestly say you are using press releases to their fullest potential in your business? I decided it was time to share my top 5 reasons for writing press releases.

1. Organic Traffic
This is probably the most obvious one. If your press release is well optimized, it can be ranked in google on 2 to 3 days in the orangic listings. Generally it shows first day under the Google news and other news feeds.

2. Bloggers & Social Network Audience
Many bloggers suscribe to online press release distribution services like PRWeb. (this is a content writing hint) If your press release interests them, they might blog about it and link to your press release. If you consistantly reach out to this audience, you can get significant links, traffic and sales from this.

3. Traffic from Traditional Media
If your press release interests journalists, they will follow up with you and write a story about your business. This will most certainly lead to a burst of website traffic and sales. Did you know journalists are starting to hang out on social network sites looking for a good story? I noticed this trend in my market research of social networks.

4. Link Building
Be sure to put your important keywords linked to your revelant pages on your website. When the press release is distributed some of these links will be picked up by other news feeds.

5. Reputation Control
If someone has criticized your business, one sure way to get the criticsm off the first page of Google search results is to do mutiple press releases.

Would you like to know how I use little known online marketing secrets to maximize search engine optimization, social networking, RSS feeds, list building and more? The answer is really quite simple. I learned the right skills, developed the right strategies, and tested the strategies over and over until I found what works. Pretty simple formula, isn't it?

Skills + Strategies + Testing + Fine Tuning Based on Results = Online Success

This is precisely what I did and continue to do online that generates income 24 hours a day - 7 days a week. And you can learn to do what I do, in a fraction of time it took me.  Not to mention all the time and money I invested to test everything.

That's right...
