Creating and sending out online press releases is a simple yet fantastic method for getting the word out about your product or services; there are even specific and dedicated portals that will assist you in getting your press releases to your chosen audience in a way that actually gets you a response. However, not everybody finds success with this idea, mainly because they don't focus on building a strong and effective foundation first. So, which steps are the most important for making sure that your press releases actually work and that you are able to climb the ladder? This article is going to teach you a few simple things that you can do to ensure that your press release distribution is successful.

When you plan to email your press release to journalists, never add it as an attachment as that will get you nowhere. You already know how busy most journalists are and they do not enjoy receiving attachments from people that they do not know and this is why you need to make sure that you do not actually make this mistake. So, does that mean you copy and paste your entire press release in the body of the email? This isn't exactly a bad idea but we don't really recommend it either. The best thing to do is to compose an email that contains both a short description of the press release and then a link to it's web location.

The middle of the week is the best time to email your press releases to people (like journalists). When you send it on a Friday it will likely just sit unopened for a couple of days because your email recipients are most likely simply getting ready for the weekend. On Monday people are still recuperating from their weekends and that is why, with the exception of the weekends, the other days in the week are better for mailing press releases.

Another great way to add meaty content to your press release is to add quotes. That's right, people love quotes for some reason and you should use this factor for your own advantage. You can use quotes from someone well known within the company, like the CEO or head of marketing--someone that your prospects are going to trust to offer good information. But make sure the quote truly contributes to the content of your release, don't just put it in there for the heck of it. Use the quotes to answer some of the most important questions that your prospects might have. 

Creating press releases isn't that difficult these days but writing one that really has an impact is different. The content is important but so is the structure of your release; in fact, everything is important when you want to spread the word. The idea of publishing your press release isn't anything new but when you do it online the idea becomes more than just simple information sharing. Once you've figured out how to make your press releases successful but there is exactly no looking back.
