Other Press Release services we've used are: Emailwire.com: http://www.emailwire.com/. They are mainly for corporate businesses, but check them out. Our press release there is at: http://www.emailwire.com/cgi-bin/news/db.cgi?db=ads&uid=default&ID=1956&view_records=1

Also Xpress, who distribute news releases by e-mail. (Their address is news@xpresspress.com).

You can also use eNewsRelease.com

We have no connection with these news distribution services, but have found them all to be effective in increasing "hits" after a news release.

Use press releases to get word out about your web site, product or service. They DO WORK in bringing traffic, first step to ONLINE SALES.

Lastly, I don't think you need to be a writer to write good press releases. (In fact, it may work against us, as we do tend to "waffle on" a bit and sometimes I don't write in sufficient "business-speak".) My advice is just write in your own "natural" style - one in which you feel MOST COMFORTABLE... as I've tried to do in this article.

Don't take life too seriously and have FUN writing your press releases.

Hope this may help you readers "out there" in cyberspace, as we at Eagle Productions and our associates learn something new about on-line and off-line promotion each day.

"Success is a PROCESS of sharing (knowledge, insights, wisdom and experiences) with others and not simply a matter of arriving at a destination."

Take pleasure in journey.

N.B: Publish your customers' names and email addresses at end, so that they can be contacted as a referral ("if need be"). (Don't forget to obtain their permission first to have their name "up there" on www; however we do find that most people are very happy to oblige). Because personal endorsements from "real people" are way more trustworthy and they prove that you have fulfilled your promise to other customers - that your product or service actually "does job " claimed.

Building credibility (trust) comes from using your individual area ofexpertise (and/or interests) to help others through sharing your unique knowledge and experiences. That is best part of an online business, I believe - "meeting people and building relationships based on trust" in magical journey that is life.
