I'm looking for a way to get some massive press releases out. Any ideas?
Effective press releases
A professional press release about your business can gain you positive exposure in multiple media. I just sent one about Jim Donald being named president/CEO at Haggen, Inc. If you see/hear news stories about this, you'll start they started with a Brumbaugh Co. press release!

Couple of variables.
Do you want to appear locally in traditional media, such as newspapers, magazines, etc.? If so, you need something that will be considered news, like starting a business, earning a certification, presenting a seminar, making a significant donation to a nonprofit organization.
If you don't want to be hamstrung by content limitations, you can issue a press release through PRWeb that may be discovered by people using search engine and/or websites seeking free content. With this approach, you can freely promote products, but likely won't find the press release picked up by local media.
Free free to call me at 360-318-9275 if you'd like to discuss further.

Using keywords in press releases, web copy, and sales letters can make a big difference in being found fast.
Publicity Hound Joan Stewart is hosting a teleseminar on 10-21 to explain how to use keywords to achieve this result.

Than you both for the kind attention. Will follow up on your suggestions. I found joing PR Press Releases several hundred dollars. Am I understanding correctly?
We have an ebook coming out, I expect later today.
I will be attending Kate Phillips call this afternoon.

Hi Terry,
If you send a press release over www.PR Web.com, there is a fee attached to that. I typically choose the $200 option because it includes Search Engine Optimization.
If you have news that needs a wide audience, sending your release over a paid wire service that sends your news to all the major news sites can be an efficient way to get the mission accomplished.
By the way, I teach lessons like this at the Publici-Tea™ Express Workshop. The next one takes place 11-6-09. You can read all about it and register at www.publici-teaexpress.com
Good luck!

Thank you, Nancy, 11/6 is a Friday, and that should work fr me.
I'm doing my first Biznik event on the 3rd -- still waiting to hear from Mosaic to confirm, then will submit.
It sounds like the $200 will be well worth it. Is there a way I could share with you the project and possibly get some assistance or guidance?
Terry
P.S. We are excited, after all this work, we are ready to issue the ebook today.

Hi Terry,
The event is posted at www.publici-teaexpress.com
It is also posted here at BizNik.
Here is the link:
This is not a BizNik exclusive event because 95% of the people who attend are NOT members. That is why it is a little harder to find on the BizNik site. I intend that will change over time.
Hope that helps.
Nancy
