Yep! Friday night time to spend some of those beer tokens I been working for all week.
So I'll let you into a little secret of mine seeing that you're all such nice guys.
I've noticed a few of you are having trouble obtaining clients. So what do we do?
We get the clients to come to us.
How?
The good old fashion press release.
Now a press or news release is not an advertisment (well it is). It's an article
informing the readers of an event, a new product, a new service ect.
Something that would benifit the readers.
You don't have to pay for this, the newspapers will gladly print it if they feel
it is of the public interest. After all it's free content for them.
And it needs to be good content to be accepted.
I target local newspaers for this but I am going to approach the nationals
once I find someone who will write for 2 pack of Ramen noodles and a Twinky.
It works particualy well if they have a business section and
it can work for websites if you write the article about your niche and refer to your site but I tend to use them to promote my services.
Another plus is if they publish it on their website you can get a nice high PR
backlink if done properly.
Anyway guys Just thought I'd mention it as some of you are struggling.
Here's a wiki on how to write one.
Take action get you're phone ringing off the hook.
