HOW TO WRITE A PRESS RELEASE

How to Create a Press Release...

Would you like to have tons of free advertising? If so, then your in the right place,
because we’re going to talk about how to get publicity that will send hundreds,
maybe thousands of people to your website. The key is what’s called a Press
Release (also known as a News Release).

Here 10 tips for writing an effective Press Release:

1. Make sure the information is newsworthy.
2. Tell the audience that the information is intended for them and why they should
continue to read it.
3. Start with a brief description of the news, then distinguish who announced it, and
not the other way around.
4. Ask yourself, "How are people going to relate to this and will they be able to
connect?"
5. Make sure the first 10 words of your release are effective, as they are the most
important.
6. Avoid excessive use of adjectives and fancy language.
7. Deal with the facts.
8. Provide as much Contact information as possible: Individual to Contact, address,
phone, fax, email, Web site address.
9. Make sure you wait until you have something with enough substance to issue a
release.
10. Make it as easy as possible for media representatives to do their jobs.
(from PRW www.press-release-writing.com where you will also find a sample Press
Release, templates, formatting suggestions, and a paid distribution service)

A couple of additional tips: Keep the press release to one page and use short
paragraphs (3 to 4 sentences) which will allow for a quick read. Also, write it as
if you were reading a newspaper article – no promoting – just newsworthy
information. Finally, don’t put anything in your release that would date it.
That way it will have a longer internet life.

Once you have a press release written, go to any of the following sites to have
them distribute your press release for free:

"Google Me the Movie" Coming Soon

Coming Soon... Google Me, the Movie. Jim Killeen made a movie... and what he did is is Google his
own name and found several other people with the name Jim Killeen and decided to meet as many
of them as he could.

Date Released: 04/23/2008

Jim Killeens adventure through the search engines of GOOGLE to the far corners of the Earth have
given him a knowledge one can only obtain throughout the journey.

Computers are now a focus of our daily lives rather than an addition to the tasks we perform each day.
Strictly checking our occasional emails has become a thing of the past. Bringing the computers out
of the den and into the main living area of the home for researching information, watching videos and
sometimes gathering advice on the many websites available through the world-wide web. GOOGLE
has produced the greatest impression and has enabled web users to connect, seek, and ultimately
locate each other.

GOOGLE Me The Movie, Jim Killeen, and Blog Talk Radio are merging together for a one night event
on GOOGLE Me Talk Radio! Thursday night April 24th at 8pm ET. This will be an exciting evening with
the host of GOOGLE Me Talk Radio, Jim Cobb and The GOOGLE Me Man with the plan, Jim Killeen.

Be sure to spend some time at http://www.GoogleMeTalkRadio.com for the entertaining evening.
