The Power of Using Press Releases in Your Marketing Mix
Remember, good content is everything. So, how can you distribute your message to as many people as possible? – by writing PR!
A great testament to this theory is the ezine articles website.
The potential coverage for PR placed on this website is huge and it gives authors a valuable ‘foot in the door’ when it comes to shouting about their own expertise.
Other media owners and publishers can use the PR for their own blogs, newsletters, industry news pieces and much more. Of course, you have to keep the details of the original author in the text, but it certainly creates a valuable resource for everyone.
If you go to PR web you’ll see thousands of general press releases from thousands of global companies. They provide a massive amount of content in one place - the search engines pick it up and contributors get people to their website.
It is always a good idea to send a unique PR to one of these sites every two weeks or so and when I say unique I mean that you shouldn’t send it to anyone else. Of course, journalists and media owners are going to pick up your PR and use it in their media, but the chances are that they’ll rewrite it slightly before using it, so it will be unique in that format anyway.
Every story I send into Ezine articles.com is unique in its entirety and is not used on any other website. One thing you have to do is find a good general PR distribution service (like PR web or Click into PR) and a more industry specific one. In both cases, the PR should be unique to these two sites and this should be enough to make a substantial difference to your visitor levels.
Remember, content is king and PR can be crowned as one of the best ways of getting your content onto other sites.
