10 Effective Ways to Write a Press Release to Advertise Your Information Publishing Business
Just 3 days ago, I was chatting with a friend on the telephone about how to write a press release and he surprised me by saying: "Do you know, Daniel, I have written more than 20 news releases but not even one was accepted by a newspaper or a magazine - I'm not really sure why". On prodding further, I became convinced that my friend had broken the cardinal rule of how to write a good press release that pulls results. My friend was astonished when I explained to him why his releases were rejected. The truth was none of his releases were newsworthy.
