How To Create Killer Press Releases For Anything You Sell!

Do you want to learn how to create Killer Press Releases that can put your product in such high demand you can barely keep up with orders? If so, then it's time you discover the "key" to your business success.

The problem is that most marketers don't have a clue as to how to write a press release that gets results so they think press releases just don't work. Press Releases do work, if you know how to work them. The first thing you have to do is forgetting about yourself and think about what the editor wants. The editor is looking for news... something that he/she feels their readers would benefit from. Not your ad!

What To Say To Get Your Press Release Published

If you send out press releases that talk about how great your company or your product is then don't expect to get very far. You are the only person that cares about your company and products. People only care about what you can do for them. The media is no different. Keep in mind that they will only help you if you help them help their readers.

Media sources are not in business to promote your products or services. However, they will promote your products and services if you present them as solutions to the problems their readers and listeners have. So, if you want to get tons of free publicity, you need to find out what problems your target market has, and show the media how they can help their readers and listeners by passing along your information.

Even if you have the perfect solution to a problem your target market has you still won't get very far unless your message gets read. Your headline is absolutely essential to your success. Editors may get hundreds of press releases every day and are usually pressed for time so if your headline doesn't state your biggest benefit right from the start then your release will end up in the "round file".

What Sets Your Company Apart From Your Competition?

Your Unique Selling Position or U.S.P.is what you do differently and better than your competitors. What makes your product, service or company unique? What is the strongest benefit you offer? Spend time thinking about it and that most likely will be your best headline. For example: Texas Man Claims He Can Show Anyone How To Make Up To $10,000 a Month Starting With Zero! If you can make a bold claim like that and can back it up then you are in sweet position because the media will actually try to prove you wrong. You can get lots of coverage this way.

Another way to find the right headline/U.S.P. is to ask your current customers and non- customers what they like and dislike about your type of product. Give away a valuable bonus (could be an information product) for their feedback and they will actually create your headline and improve your product for you! You can then write your headline and modify your product according to the feedback you get. You will be able to write powerful headlines and deliver a product that is exactly what people want!

The Layout

In the upper left hand corner of every press release, write the words "FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE" unless there is time sensitive material involved. If your product has something to do with Christmas, you may want to write "FOR RELEASE BEFORE CHRISTMAS" or some other phrase using the date, time of the year, etc.

In the upper right hand corner of the press release, write "Contact: Your Name" Not in all capital letters. Then, list all of your contact information like your company name, address, phone number, fax number, email address, and web site address on each line below that. Never leave out your personal name. Editors don't want to spend time trying to find out whom to contact. Always make sure you are available by phone, if not try to return all calls as soon as possible. If an editor call and you make them wait for even one day you can miss out on your free advertising.

Then you skip a couple of lines and write your headline. Remember; use your biggest benefit up front. If you don't grab the editor’s attention with your headline then the rest of your release will never get read. The headline is at least 90% of your release.

The Summary

There are three sections after your headline. The first is the summary. Your summary should give the reason for the entire release in a few sentences. The headline and the first section should be enough to give anyone a good idea of what the rest of your release is about. This is where you give the Who, What, Where, When, Why and How. If you can't give the main point of your release in your first few sentences then you don't know how to say it. Your summary is the extension of your headline and is used to draw the reporter into your release so they can see if you have something worth reporting.

The Body Which Is A Continuation Of the Summary

Give more detail on the purpose of the press release. One thought, one paragraph. Use simple sentences and avoid too much hype.

Credentials and Quotation

The credentials section is where you give your credentials or show a quote that enforces the power behind what you say. Example: "Virtually everyone who wants to start a business online can benefit from these techniques" says Joe Smith, Owner of Automated Hits. Credentials give your words Power. Your credentials may be CEO, Leading Authority, Owner, Author, and Professor with 15 years exp... You get the point.

How To Close the Sale

On the last part of your release you are going to close the sale. No, you aren't going to sell anything... other than yourself. A press release should be one page or less and should never tell your whole story. You see the whole purpose of a press release is to get the attention of the editor and hopefully an interview. Be a Tease. In closing you could say: "Joe Smith is a great interview and will give your readers extremely valuable information they can put to use immediately to grow their business faster than they ever thought possible. To schedule an interview with Joe Smith, call 800- 123-4567".

Then, in the center of the page at the bottom of the press release, include the symbol ### which means that this is the end. Once you get the interview you will have more than enough time to promote your product. The main thing is to get the interview and you do that by teasing the editor with information their reading audience is sure to want. Remember, you asked people what they wanted in your type of product when you created your headline so you are more likely to have a winning offer.
