If you aren't using PRs, you're making a HUGE mistake..I'll write and submit yours now to 70 sites!

WELCOME TO THE "I SUCK AT ALMOST EVERYTHING" PRESS RELEASE OPPORTUNITY!!

That's right. I pretty much suck at almost everything:

• I suck at HTML
• I suck at PHP
• I suck at Ebay
• I suck at JAVA
• I suck at Twitter
• I suck at Myface

And quite honestly, I probably couldn't get a hot date if my life depended on it!


But there is one thing I am good at: WRITING PRESS RELEASES


My day job is at a renowned PR firm writing press releases for Fortune 500 companies.



I don't like to brag, but I am pretty BADASS at what I do. I have been directly or indirectly featured in just about every major news outlet including: The Wall Street Journal, The Boston Globe, Wired Magazine, Kiplinger, CNN, and Inc. Magazine.


Compaines love me for all the SEO, $$$$$, and traffic I bring in for them.

I get the word out about their new products, new clothing lines, special sales, new hires, charity works, etc, etc.

So as the economy news starting dominating the headlines, I began to think about my entrepreneurial dreams (the same dreams many Warriors have achieved through this forum) I wondered how I could take control of my own life... you, know if THEY decide to lay me off tomorrow, I'm screwed....

What???

THEY decide.... I don't like the sound of that...

So, here I am taking my first step into a brave new world of self-sufficiency... and I decided to do it here... that's why I am offering this WSO at such a ridiculously low price... so I can prove the value of my services to you. See, if I do that, I know you will want more from me and I'm on my way

...on my way to freedom....

That's why I decided to run this WSO and put my skills to good use. I want to help out the people who really need it while also helping myself. I know I can help IM'ers struggling to increase targeted traffic, increase sales, or get the word out about their products.


If you haven't been living under a rock for the past 4 years, you should know that press releases take your website's SEO and cranks it up. (Think going from a remote control airplane to a Boeing 757)

GOT THE PICTURE? Here's an overview of what a Press Release is:

What is a Press Release?

A press release or, news release as it is also called, is a condensed article that is written in a journalistic style. A press release is not a sales document, resume, or an advertisement. The purpose of the news release is to highlight what is interesting and newsworthy about your company or organization. This can include announcing product releases, new services, or drama within your market.

What are the Press Release Costs?

Press releases are relatively inexpensive to prepare and distribute. Compare the price of a full-page ad from a major news publication – generally tens of thousands of dollars. Even local papers typically charge several thousand dollars. For less than a few hundred dollars, you can receive better, more comprehensive coverage than paid advertising. Research shows that most news releases generate a higher return than even high powered ad campaigns.

Free Publicity

When members of the news media feature your story pulled from your press release, free publicity is being generated. Frequently, your story can show up not only in one major newspaper, but in three, as well as in news talk shows carried on major networks such as NBC or CBS. If you are looking to publicize in local markets only, releases can be directed to those local publications and hit editor’s news feeds who write for your specific industry. If you are looking for global coverage, news releases are the best marketing tools. In a sense, a press release is a gift that just keeps giving.

News releases not only reach journalists but they also capture potential customers and/or investors which means that your products and/or services can be both funded and be made more profitable simply based on the media attention your release receives. Whatever your target audience may be, news releases offer you a way to become known to the public without a significant investment. Even large corporations who spend millions of dollars on ad campaigns continue to use news releases to maintain public interest which results in higher revenue.

Added Benefits for Sending a Press Release

Another advantage to sending out news releases is that there is always demand. All news organizations, to include magazine editors, broadcast, and industry specific editors use press releases to develop the bulk of their published news stories. From a consumer stand point, editors who report on your news release are considered disinterested parties, meaning that your announcement was chosen because of public demand for relevant and useful information. Often, paid advertising is suspect in the customer’s eye because companies are more interested in their products selling than what is in the best interest of their customers.

To sum up, the benefits to sending out news releases include:

• low cost
• increased visibility for your company
• high demand for press releases
• added credibility for your organization
• targeted customers/traffic to your site
• new investors
• free publicity

This free publicity generated from your news release is all the better because the media has given its stamp of approval which adds credibility and value to your company or organization.

OK so now we have determined that PRESS RELEASES get your product, product pages, or services mentioned ALL OVER THE WEB in possibly thousands of other news outlets for hours and hours and hours....FAST!

So starting today until I get swamped, Im willing to write a 400 word (which is the industry standard word count) professional press release for your business and submit it to 70 of the BEST ONLINE PR sites out there.

Here's what a few other Warriors have said about my services:

Just wanted to chime in and say that I have received my first draft from Lee this morning, and I'm blown away by the quality of his writing.

If you need a PR written, there's no question that Lee and this WSO is the way to go. Seriously.

Just thought I'd drop by this thread and say Lee is a good guy. I have partnered with him on several ventures (some successful, and some not ) and he is a top notch person and writer. He delivers... I will definitely be working with him more in the future.

Good luck to all of you in 2009... Remember, Tomorrow has become Today (many times over)... stop F'ing around and take action today!

Make it a great day!

Lee's a customer-focused guy and he even had to bug me to send him details so he could do the job lol.

I've previously purchased 6 wso press releases before from a warrior known as halille azami and it was a terrible experience. Never delivered them since Nov last year and have stopped returning my emails. Lee's the man.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q) Why the hell do you submit to so many sites?

70 is a lot of sites (trust me b/c I submit every press release to all 70 sites by hand and it takes a LONG time), but I do it because it will create as many backlinks as possible to your site. All those backlinks point directly back to your site with your keyword as the link. Can you get any more targeted traffic than that??

Your keywors are hyperlinked in the press release and will be pointing directly to your site. I can also point the link to any page on your site.

Q) How do I know you are as good as you say you are?

Well, honestly, you don't. Most of the PR's I or my partners write don't end up online because of the clients whom we write for, but I've been writing press releases professionally for about 4 years now. Like I said earlier, my day job is with a very renowned PR firm. Once you see your PR all over the web, you will then know how good I really am. I have a large portfolio of work and I will be happy to show you an example if you need to see one.

Q) What's the turnaround time?

I will research, write, and finish up your PR in three business days or less (usually less). I want to research the best keywords and really make sure I knock it out of the part for you. If there is a delay, I will let you know but I'm usually good about finishing my work on time.

Here's how it works: You press the "Buy It Now" button and once I receive payment I will email you a few questions about your company/product/service to help me get an idea about what you want to put in the PR. You fill out the questions and send it back to me. That's it. I'll research the best keywords for your niche, draft up the press release and I'll send you the PR for your final approval.

Once you approve it, I will hand submitting it to over 70 sites over the course of a few days (4 days max b/c of the sheer size of the list). Afterward, I will send you an Excel and Word file showing you where and when I submitted your PR.

Will it work for affiliate products?

Quick answer: YES!

Press releases are a great way to get the word out about a launch (think Nich Blueprint on Fox and NBC!!), if what you are promoting is newsworthy or have some buzzworthy type story associated with it. Promoting a product that makes users $2 million overnight? Sorry, won't work. Don't sign up please because I'll have to politely decline. Remember, journalists are skeptical by nature. Maybe you are promoting an innovative new way to help people get out of debt? Now that would work! See the difference?? Basically anything pretty cool, interesting, that solves a problem, or has relevance in today's world will work great.

Q) Ok this is exactly what my site needs. I'm in. How much does it cost?

Well, lucky for you you aren't a Fortune 500 Company The usual price for a my services is $XXX's to $X,XXX's depending on the nature, scope, timing constraints, etc. However, seeing as how I am here to help my fellow Warrior members, there's no way I would charge that much. For my expertise and time, it will only cost you $97 and it won't stay at that price for long. I've already had to raise it, so this isn't one of those "oh I might maybe one day raise it because I'm so crazy, so you better sign up now" crap I've seen elsewhere. This is the real deal.

Now, I know $97 for many IM'ers is a good chunk of change, but compared to the money you are probably spending (or will spend) for coverage/leads/sales/traffic from PPC, articles, forum posting, SEO, paid back-links etc, a professionally written press release has a MUCH greater ROI than all of those combined, and it will still be bringing you benefits for years to come. Put in those terms, $97 is a steal. Plus, I know a lot of you Warriors need this so I am trying to keep my price down, but my workload will jump soon, making my time more valuable.

I will only accept 8 Warriors at this new price.

So hurry up and secure your spot at $97 now before I am forced to close this WSO. (Then you'll be stuck spending $199+ EASY for a press release writing service of this caliber, and that's without the submissions)

Let me help you take your site to the next level:

Thanks for your interest Mary. I will be happy to send you a sample press release. Just to ensure I respect the privacy of my previous clients, and in some cases protect myself from my employer, I'd rather PM them to you.. Please check your PM and let me know if you have any other questions.

If you ordered by tomorrow I would be able to write and submit it by the end of the week (meaning it would be written and submitted by Jan 9th)

Thanks.

I will answer any other questions in the morning

Can you also do this for a product that we are an affiliate too?

Thanks

[lburrell]

Originally Posted by klandino

Thanks

I would think that a press release for an affiliate product would work great. Press Releases can truly be whatever you want them to be about. A press release gets the word out quickly about a product (affiliate or not), service, new hire, new company, whatever.

Hope that helps.

Lee

Hi Lee,

Talk to each one of you soon

Hey Lee,

Okay, that's good. Thanks for letting us know where you're at with them.

Btw, did you plan to give us a short report as to where the PRs were distributed too? Like a list of URLs of the actual PRs?

Yeah, I know it wasn't part of the WSO, so I am just wondering ...

Thanks, and all the best ...

Can you show me where Digg.com accepts press releases? Not trying to be rude, just genuinely interested. Plus a couple of suggestions. 1) You should include goarticles.com. They have good pull and a Quantcast rank around 20,000 or less. 2) You might want to sort these by Quantcast rating. For example, Squidoo ought to be much higher up in your list.

It looks like you are right. My main focus is on the top 17 sites you see listed in my post, but I am constantly trying to find more places that accept Press Releases and changing the list. To be honest, I have always submitted my PRs to as many sites as I could, but this WSO is the first time I actually tried to put them in a list. I was just trying to remember all the ones I had used before and probably made a mistake. With 70 + sites, it gets to be a little much. As I am working on all of these sales, I am actually compiling the correct list so that it is absolutely correct next time. I apologize for the inconvenience and never meant to mislead anyone. Thanks for the tip on goarticles.com... I'll be adding that to my list to try.

Lee

[mmurtha]

Hi Lee,

I got the press release from you a few days ago, but haven't been emailed the excel and or word file yet. If you sent it, it must have gotten deleted with some junk mail.

Can you please send it again so we can check to see how the PR is doing?

Thanks ...


Mary

[lburrell]

Hey Mary,

I'm still working on the hand submissions. It takes many many hours to submit these to the best sites as I'm sure you know. I have finished Alex's press release and will finish up yours (and everyone else's) asap.

Thanks!!

Lee

[lburrell]

Most everyone's should (hopefully) be completely done by tomorrow.

Thanks guys!!

Also, here is Alex's release one day after submission:

[lburrell]

Well that depends on whether what you are offering in your blog is newsworthy. Let's say the content in your blog shows people innovative ways to reduce expenses and cut debt, thus saving them money, then ABSOLUTELY this pr service would work!! Your blog could link to affiliate offers that are associated with your blogs content and I would expect you to see alot of sales b/c of the targeted leads, higher PR, and quality backlinks (which will eventually lead to more traffic).

However, if your blog has so so content and nothing "newsworthy" then this offer really wouldn't work so well.

Hope that helps. Let me know if there is anything else.

Providing value to the people,

Here is Lisa's first press release. Notice the hyper-linked words in her press release that give her great backlinks along with the increase in page rank and traffic.
