A press release is a fantastic and professional way to market you and your business.   It is the style of marketing to use when there is an event, milestone achievement or change in your business.  They differ from an article which is designed to share information and opinions, tips and/or tricks with your audience.  Press releases are not only for Fortune 500 companies, anyone with information to share can submit their news story to the world via the Internet.

Press releases can encourage targeted quality leads to visit your website.  If a prospect has found your press release they are likely to be looking for what you are selling; they are potentially in research mode and maybe conducting their due diligence.  Press releases are also highly desirable in the eyes of the search engines as distribution sites are favoured by Google and the like.  You can also target certain keywords to optimise views via search engines.  So do your research, use keywords that are relevant and that are designed to draw the right quality crowd.

To get started, chose your topic, go through your keyword / key phrase discovery process / write your press release and distribute the release.

Here are my top 5 tips to take your online business to the next level…

1.    Focus

If you are anything like me you will be constantly inundated with messages in your email box about the next best thing.  Products are being pitched at us constantly and it can be extremely difficult to stay focussed.  So what’s the best plan of attack, my tip is to schedule your day.  Use your calendar to block out time in your day for certain tasks and stick to them.  If you have a timer set it for 50 minutes and then take a 10 minute break.  You have to treat this like a business for it to pay you like a business if you treat it like a hobby it will cost you like a hobby does.

2.    Learn How

Hook into training calls and webinars.  Learn from the experts – how they did it – what is working.   Follow the instructions and believe it that you have to put the effort in to learn how and generally it won’t happen overnight.  Particularly for those that are new to online business it really is a whole different world and I haven’t met anyone yet how hasn’t put in the hard yards, the endless hours of learning how to get to where they want to be – its all worth it.

3.    Seek Help

If you are in MLM or direct sales utilise your sponsor and ask for help.  Also mastermind with other people in the same business.  I find this a very powerful strategy.  Band together and work towards a common although individual goal.  Encourage and support each other through the good times and the challenging times.

4.    Market, Market, Market

There are a plethora of different marketing approaches these days and it comes down to answering this question… what do you like to do?  Are you a writer, maybe you are good in front the camera or are you analytical?  Choose 3 marketing approaches and stick to them for the first 2 months and then re-evaluate, maybe drop 1 or 2 marketing styles and introduce a new mode of marketing.  For instance as you start to see cashflow in your business you may venture into the world of pay per click marketing.  Ensure you market everyday; schedule the time to spend 2 to 3 hours on this essential task.

5.    Respect Obstacles

Obstacles will arise whether you like it or not so respect them for what they are.  Obstacles are often gentle nudges to re-direct you on a slightly or markedly different course.  Don’t throw the towel in or quit – that is the worst thing you can do.   Obstacles are general opportunities in disguise.

Wishing you every success in your business no matter where you are in the world or what you are doing, you are worth it.  I am in the business of helping people design their life just as they want it, helping them succeed and step into their potential, if I can help you – let me know.
