Writing press releases
Five important steps in writing a good press release.
Write a Killer Title that Grabs Attention.
Your headline must attract your visitors interest and get them involved with your press release. This is a hook.
Make sure that you communicate benefits in your title. Your title can also communicate the biggest problem your target market is facing.
Answer the basic why, what, how and when related questions of your target market.
Create a Short to the Point Summary.
The summary includes a basic intro about the press release. It should be just 1 or 2 sentence.
Then start with your first para.
Focus on your First Para.
This is the hook that will get your readers interested to read your entire press release.
Therefore communicate your most important information in this area.
Focus on Facts.
You cannot just pitch your readers with blue moons or any of your stories or opinions. Therefore make sure you stick with the facts.
Present information as they are, never modify them with your own recommendations.
Give a Valuable Statement from a Top Authority.
It can be either the CEO of your company or some well known person.
