News Wire Sources
Use newswires to send your press releases to create publicity for your business, new website, film, etc ... Note: Learn to write a proper press release before using these services. Avoid to much fluff, and stick to the facts. This will help create acceptance, and help eliminate rejections. Understand that though your press release may go to big wire services like the Associated Press (AP), unless you are a journalist, known by the editor, have establish credibility, or have earth shattering news, you will probably not get picked up. However, with a decent release, it will get picked up by internet companies, blogs, and perhaps newspapers, and magazines as well. This is still one of the best ways to get coverage, and least expensive when compared to other methods. Free press releases work, but even a small upgrade to paid will increase your coverage, and recommended. After you run your release, wait a day or two, and run a Google search with your headline in quotes, to see your results. Good Luck!
