Quick question…what’s the best way to stand out in your market with no marketing budget?

Answer…get free publicity.

Once you figure out the system (and there is a system) to what YOUR unique stories are, and how to get those stories in the hands of media, bloggers and other key influencers who hold the key to your clients – you’ll realize there’s a TON of publicity opportunities you’ve been stepping over all these years.

“Where can I post a press release for free?”

Before I give you the answer (hint: there are a lot of sites), another question that should be answered is, “is it worth it?”

Well, it depends. If you post on just a few of the better sites, you will likely get picked up by the search engines like Google and Yahoo, and will rank even better if you know how to optimize your release with keywords.

Personally, I prefer to put together a customized media list and send press releases to individual reporters, especially the ones in the local city or niche we are targeting. If your press release is newsworthy, then putting it on a wire service is a great add-on that can bring you more attention from media, customers, potential employees and partners you would otherwise not be able to reach.

If you want to try out a free news release service, I’ve heard good things about:

www.PR.com
www.PRLog.com
www.pressrelease365.com (this one looks like they will charge you $24.95 but all new registrations get a $25 credit so really, it’s free)

Then, there is another school of thought that if you have the time and energy, you can post on as many sites as possible and get more sustained traffic and visibility to your site. If you’re so inclined, here is a list of over 60 free press release distribution sites, compiled by Press Release Point and they will even post to all those sites for you…for a modest fee. It kind of defeats the purpose of using free sites but for a few dollars, it could be worth saving your valuable time.

Note: I am not endorsing these sites, nor have I used most them. I am merely sharing this information in case you find it useful.

If you need help with what to do with this list, or are stuck on next steps, my ebook PR in Your Pajamas has practical tips to make use of the information in this chart. Check it out!

If you haven’t heard of it yet, sign up at www.helpareporter.com and get up to 3 emails a day, of 15 – 30 reporters looking to write a story and needing sources – people, products, companies that fit their particular story.

It’s a great way for you to learn how to do PR without having to build your media list. Remember, I just want you to get started because – if not now, when?

The only thing I ask is that you are clear on how to contact the media. You need to respect their time and intelligence and ask yourself before you send a response if it’s really going to help the reporter or their audience. Make sure you have a good pitch in place and then go for it!

You’ll let me know how you do, won’t you?
