Press Release Services

[dsturbed]

I know a couple members here use services to write up press releases to help launch new sites or initiatives...

what services do you all use ? What's the cost for writing up press releases and getting them out on the wire ? I need to get a press release out on a new site Im launching... please advise.

Best,
dsturbed

I do not know exactly what you want, but you should be able to whip up something up to par by simply following one of the provided style guides.

You can read up on previous accepted press releases to see the style in which they are written.

Are there any services that will write and submit the release for you? If one of the two above handle this I appologize as I haven't looked them over throughly yet.

Well, basically...

If you just want to pay $$$ and not write your own, they list plenty of PR Firms.

I recently got one done for one of my sites...I wrote it myself and then submitted to several free wire services. If you search Google there are plenty places out there that will distribute for free.

Are you gauging your results/traffic as a result of that press release ? Also, can you list the several free wire services and experiences with them - I know that may be asking alot.. so feel free to decline.

PRWeb is one of the top venues out there imo... but Im interested in good free services too

I didn't get much traffic...but a few links here and there and a little exposure.

I searched Google for "free press release" and went with a number of the top results, entering a slightly modified release for each one.

I was on the front page of Yahoo.com Business Section with my press release that I submit via PRweb.com.

Got on MSN news, Ask Jeeves, and some girl from TMCNET even wrote an article on me.

I paid ~$120 I think.. wrote it myself.
