Ponn Sabra, Media Lists & More
Hi Heidi.
After enjoying a wonderful interview in which I shared “How to Create a Search Engine Optimized SEO Press Release”, I’d like to follow-up on a few of the questions and issues posed during and after my presentation:
1. I shared its equally important that you have a local media list so you can send a quick email when your SEO Press Release is distributed. I recommended that you copy and paste the press release into the body of your email, and share a link to the various press release distribution centers that published your press release. But, I didn’t share how to create that local media list.
Since I just moved back to CT last month, after living in OH for 5 years, I am literally walking-my-walk and follow my own advise in a guest post I wrote at Start Up Princess entitled, Create A Local Media List While You’re Running Errands
http://startupprincess.com/wordpress/create-a-local-media-list-while-youre-running-errands/
2. Fortunately, many CT’s media contacts recall who I am; but they are familar with my role as a public health administrator, so I’m off to educate and empower them with my present entrepreneurial roles. Lost as to how you can actually write weekly press releases? Well, in my follow-up post at Start Up Princess, I shared another post entitled, What News Can I Share with the Local Media on a Weekly Basis?
http://startupprincess.com/wordpress/what-news-can-i-share-with-the-local-media-on-a-weekly-basis/
3. While my free eBook [ http://www.empowerwomennow.com/seo-press-release.htm ]
is written directly around the benefits and services of PRWeb.com, we discussed the benefits and possible flaws in using only PRWeb in our discussions today.
My tip, as with everything in life, is to “Diversify”! Do not put all your eggs in one basket!
Try one of the other 50+ online press release distribution centers [ http://empowerwomennow.com/news-women-entrepreneurs/index.php/press-release-distribution-service-the-ultimate-list/ ], and please share your results, successes and failures! Just keep learning, test and track always, and keep our dialogue alive.
One of the greatest aspects of gaining media coverage (online *and* offline) is your ability to be flexible, creative, open-minded, willingness to test and try any and all proven methods, AND experiment with new ones!
Feel free to contact me at anytime [ http://empowerwomennow.com/news-women-entrepreneurs/index.php/contact/ ] if I can further this wonderful conversation!
To our continued success & empowerment,
Ponn
