Looking for ways to get your brand in front of a wider audience?
You might have thought of writing a press release.
But the truth is, it’s not easy.
Maybe you’ve tried it. Maybe you’ve sat down and typed together a few sentences. Maybe you’ve even completed a news story and sent it over to a reputable PR site.
The problem, though?
Most press releases get rejected.
(It’s that tough.)
If you miss out on a single detail in your press release, it’ll be ignored or even rejected outright.
The question: is there a proven formula for press release writing that ensures yours get accepted every time?
(Hint: there is.)
The Truth About Press Releases
(And Why Yours Aren’t Working)
First things first.
Should you even be writing press releases?
If you know a little about the history of SEO, you’d probably say “no.”
You see, way back in the dark ages of SEO, press releases were used as a spammy tactic to get backlinks to a site.
It worked like this:
- You wrote a press release and sent it off to a PR site.
- It got published.
- Since you embedded some links back to your site in your news, you got free backlinks.
Sound sleazy?
It is.
That’s exactly why this tactic no longer works. (You can still mention your website in a press release, but it’ll probably be a no-follow link which won’t help your ranking factors one bit.)
So, should you quit writing press releases?
Yes, if you’re writing them for sleazy SEO reasons.
But there’s another reason to write them, and you’ll love it:
Brand exposure.
That’s right!
Here’s a sneak peek into the exposure you can get if your press release gets accepted by even one major publication like eReleases:
- 7 million contacts…
- 700,000+ of whom are bloggers and social media influencers
- 900,000+ of whom are journalists
- 4,000+ of which are syndicated submission sites including
- Major news outlets such as ABC, The Huffington Post, The Los Angeles Times, and NBC
I know, it sounds exciting.
However, remember this.
Not all press releases are created equal.
So if you’ve already been hard at work producing one newsworthy article after another and everything has been rejected so far, it’s because you haven’t mastered the specific framework that gets press releases accepted by major outlets.
It’s true.
Your failure so far isn’t because you don’t have the writing skill. It isn’t because you don’t have the determination. It isn’t even because your news sucks or the publication thinks it won’t appeal to their audience.
It’s simply because you haven’t mastered the rules of compelling press releases that get accepted every time.
Press Release Writing: Go From Zero to Compelling Major PR Sites to Accept Your Press Releases
Quick question.
What if, in only one hour, you could go from wasting a ton of time writing a press release that’ll only be rejected…
…to knowing the exact framework and rules that have gotten thousands of press releases accepted by the best PR sites out there?
Honestly, it’s not even that hard.
I mean, you already rock at content creation.
You already have the passion, determination, and persistence that leads to picking up new skills quickly. (I 100% believe this because hey, you defied the norm and started up your own online business, right?)
Now, all you need to do is learn the formula for press releases the best PR sites are looking for.
(Hint: It’s nothing like blog writing.)
So, are you ready to reach millions of new people and win thousands of leads with a press release that gets accepted and published?
If yes, you’ve come to the right place.
