ATTENTION GRABBING PRESS RELEASE HERE –

This will have an ENTICING HEADLINE along with…

* Point of View * Opinions
* Highlight the best of what you have
* Highlight what they’d likely use
*Add short bio.
*Add links to longer bio/YouTube videos/other
supporting documentation.
*CONTACT INFORMATION including cell phone.
*No attachments. (That‘s like a job applicant sending a resume and salary info when you never even told them you were hiring.)

Jess had some more great tips on making your press releases stand out.

Does it have a headline? Is it as large as a headline?

Would you read the story that it is pointing to?

Look through a few popular newspapers and notice how they get their headlines to be tighter and tighter. See how they weave in emotion. Notice how they can compel you to read the story.

That‘s what you need to learn and practice in your press releases. Include words that are filled with emotion.

‘Finding Love at Work’ or ‘What is in Your Medicine Cabinet Could Kill You!’ or ‘Most People Miss Out On the #1 Tax Tip to Increase Your Income by 25%.’

Take Action:

Write a press release and send it to 2-3 media outlets this week. The more press releases you write and send the better you will get at it.
