To PR or not to PR (as affiliate)

Hey guys n girls,

Do you ever send press releases when promoting someone elses product launch? On PRweb for example?

Since it is not your own product press release in the style of: "Hello world - we are releasing newsworthy product X get over here and buy it..." how would you angle it?

Thanks

I can see some potential here, depending on the product....

If it is a new product that you are promoting, I would go something along the line of:

Exciting new product launch supported by experienced business entrepreneur. Establish product credentials and your credentials whilst also keyword optimising.

You'd need to angle it to build your rep, not theirs. After all, press releases are not so much a promotional tool as a branding tool.
