Publicity Pays Off!

As some of you may know I'm a proponent of using press releases and publicity to get the word out about products and services. Press release distribution can result in backlinks, higher search engine rankings, increased traffic and more.

These releases also can get picked up by the media and result in news coverage. And that's what happened once again. You might not think there's anything newsworthy in having a screenplay place well in a competition but you'd be wrong.

My writing partner was in a feature story in our city's newspaper today and all because of press releases. If you're interested the link is below.

Never underestimate the Power of the press.

    Press releases is one area I've been a bit negligent about. And, I do know the power of a good release. Thanks for the reminder.

    That's exactly right Dee, this is the same reason why I love press releases too

    Exposure in a local newspaper can mean thousands or tens of thousands of people all seeing your information all at the same time can bring a BIG flood of *instant* business to you.

    There are so many reasons someone can get local press coverage you just have to be creative to figure out what angles can lead you to getting a story done on you
