“PR Tips Hotline, what’s your question?”
Caller:
“Are there free online services that can help me get my news releases in the hands of even more media reporters and editors?”
Great question!
There are dozens of online press release distribution services, some listed here, that will help you get your news out into the world wide web. Rather than submitting your news to any or all services, I recommend you carefully study which will help you reach your specific target audiences and media outlets.
Free online press release distribution should NOT replace a customized media relations initiative. Simply put, it is another way to increase online awareness about your news and drive traffic to your website(s).
