Successful press releases with PRWeb
I wrote an introduction before on using press releases as a way to gain web traffic. Press releases not only give you free ingoing links from high pr web sites. They can also give you free publicity in print media.
Now here are a few practical tips to get the most out of your press release.
PRWeb is a free service for sending your press release but as all good things in life, it is not really free. To get he most out of PRWeb you need to donate about $80 (standard visibility) when you do your submission. You will then get extra services like inclusion in yahoo news, free editorial consulting and more.
Not only does the donation give you the extra services, the amount of the donation is used for sorting press releases on their web pages. Since $80 is the amount to get all the extra benefit a lot of people will donate exactly $80, add $1 and you will put yourself ahead of all these press releases.
If you think you have something really great in your press release you can go with the professional options. Remember great for the media, not just for you. If you go with the top option for maximal media visibility you get ; Guaranteed distribution through the Associated Press to top US newspapers and media outlets, Add an embedded video to your press release and analytics to show you where your news is being read
To learn more about the details take a visit to the PRWeb site. You should go with a donation it is well worth the money.
Getting your press release accepted
Just because you submit your press release to PRWeb it does not mean it will be accepted. All submitted press releases are reviewed and will be rated by an editor. Journalist that subscribe to press releases from PRWeb can decide on the quality of the press releases they get, from the top releases to everything. The higher editorial rating your press release gets the more journalists will read the release. If the press release doest not meet a minimum quality it will not even be published, regardless of how much you donate.

Good and valid advice. I’d liek to add something I recently learned.
Journalists traditionally go through many large texts in a hurry. The job is to handpick interesting stuff and shorten it to fit the space they have available.
An easy “shorten-to-fit” text probably has a better chance of being handpicked by the stressed professionals.
