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.

I am reading the book “The Answer” by John Assaraf and Murray Smith, it is an extraordinary book filled with great insights. As I am a big fan of subconscious mind or as John refers – the nonconscious brain – the book is a great read and appeals very much to me.

The initial chapters focus on the nonconscious brain and there are many stories of scientific experiments which confirm that life is not random. Quantum Physics, a topic that fascinates me is discussed as well, however in this blog post I want to share with you the affirmations listed in Chapter 7 – The Neural Reconditioning Process:

The Internet has created more millionaires in the last five years than have been created in the entire history of mankind. Arguably mankind’s greatest invention ever, the Internet is a huge, thriving, and dynamic global marketplace that spans the world and connects you directly to it. Every minute of every hour of every day, millions and millions of dollars change hands in mankind’s greatest engine of commerce. It is only fair and logical that you should be a part of this global economic miracle.

Even though we are officially in a recession, and even though unemployment is at its highest rate in the last 14 years, the Internet provides a logical and viable opportunity for making big bucks with a relatively small investment of time and money. From the comfort of your own home, working your own schedule, you can create the kind of income—and the kind of life—that you’ve always wanted and that you deserve.

Internet marketers are revolutionizing the way business is conducted, and are making fortunes in the process. Opportunities abound for income generation and wealth creation using tried and proven techniques that these ground breaking entrepreneurs have pioneered. To get your share of these big bucks, conduct in-depth online research to find opportunities that fit your needs and your lifestyles. Operating a home-based Internet marketing business is one of the easiest things to do today, and one of the safest tactics that you can employ to survive the economic downturn.

Even if you have no experience in sales, marketing, or business management, you can operate a successful and profitable online business. Find an opportunity that has tried and proven techniques, and one in which entrepreneurs working the business are making verifiable profits. You want to find a company that is well run and professionally managed, and that provides a turnkey solution to starting and operating a small home-based online marketing business. The company should provide training, mentorship, coaching, and direct support to you as you start and operate your enterprise.

Of course, an online business is in fact a business. It will require some degree of capital investment, and a significant commitment in terms of time—at least at the beginning—to get started and to make it profitable. But in comparison to bricks-and-mortar businesses, operating an Internet based home business is relatively easy and in fact fun. Even if it’s not something that you’ve considered, in light of the decaying economic times, it’s certainly something you should think about.
