Brought a Webwire press release package, no distribution found?

5 replies
Hi,

I just purchased a Webwire press release package yesterday broadcasting the release of my books on Amazon.

May I know if anyone has used Webwire's services? Was it effective? If so, what did you do for you to get those results?

I googled for my PR, but found only Webwire's link. :confused:

Thanks.

    Hi, I havent used them before but one day is quick. Sometimes a press release can be distributed over weeks. It takes time for the news sources to pick it up and for Google to index them. Did they say they will send you a report when the distribution is complete?

    It depends on which option you choose on WebWire. If it's the lowest package then expect it's only posted on their website.

    Their advanced package allows you to reach PRNewswire, one of the world's top newswire subscribed by major news archives, clipping services and journalists.

    The World's few top newswire that's probably suit us as marketers will be AssociatedPress, PRNewswire, BusinessWire and MarketWire. BusinessWire and MarketWire are mostly targeting corporates and earnings announcements to fulfil listing requirements. AP and PRN however, are targeting small business segments.

    Webwire is using PRN (in fact a reseller of PRN like eReleases etc). PRWeb, another popular service, using AP as their backbone. Most press release distribution services have their unique partners, strategies and contacts beside using a newswire.

    MarketersMedia is a rising leader in Press Release distribution with AssociatedPress as their backbone. MM has also partnered with another few smaller newswires to have their news reach more destinations. MM's news reaches newspapers, radio, TV stations and online pickups. Most importantly, their news are indexed into news archives including LexisNexis, DowJones' Factiva, Comtex etc to name a few.

    There are lots of choices when it comes to Press Release distribution. Since you are a writer, it's also good to cultivate your own relationship with journalists specializing in books. They love authors. Check them out with MuckRack.

    Hope this helps!

    Daniel

    How effective press releases are largely depends on who writes and distributes it. Think of it like a newspaper ad. The ad will do as good or as bad as it is written, within the newspaper's reach.

    Just when you think you've got it all figured out, someone changes the rules.
