Press Releases / PR - would you pay

drivetowin · 18-10-04

Having had some success lately in achieving good press coverage for my sites, (and having given free advice to a number of affiliates on this forum since) I wonder whether other affiliates would be interested in paying for a press release service i.e. I would write a press release for you and submit it for publication to relevant publications - if payment was strictly on a 'per publication' basis - i.e. you pay only for each time your press release is published - and if so, how much would you pay?

Keith,

Interesting idea. It's not about the number of articles though, they have to be in the right publications.

I'm still working on various site improvements, but will certainly hit the PR trial in the next few months. From experience so far, a good national can get you 00s to 000s of extra visitors, whereas you'd be lucky to get one or two from your local paper (even with provocational tirades!).

Will you be offering advice on how to target certain publications, and will you have a contact list of affiliate friendly journos - then you could add real value to your proposition.
