Press Releases for Bloggers
|
Posted by Nicole Allard Mar 8, 2007 |
Writing a press release is not as overwhelming or as difficult as it may sound. You can look at it as a way of announcing your blog to the world in a simple, concise and attention grabbing press release. You will also need to submit that press release to various PR firms, and most of them will let you submit them for free. When your press release is accepted it will be read by many journalists, freelance writers, publishers, and anyone else interested in industry trends.
Even though I said before that writing a press release is not as difficult as it may seem, I do have to say that you must add something to your press release. It has to contain information about your blog that is unique, interesting, attention grabbing. It has to be something that most people who read it will want to write about it or learn more about your blog. It has to reach out and grab your readers' attention to say "hey, this is the blog you need to visit!".
