How To Write A Press Release
Before offering this service you need to learn the format of PR.
In 300-500 words (remember this is an announcement, not an essay) you need to ensure you...
- Create an irresistible headline.
- In the first paragraph cover the who, what, why, where, and how.
- Use a tempting quote.
- Finish off by giving valuable background information.
- Summarize the "who" and the "what" in a boilerplate.
You can learn more about writing Press Releases here with some free templates.
You can also offer distribution services with this gig and even upsell this service by increasing the number of recipients.
You should reach out to journalists who usually cover the same industry as the press release and even send it to them the day before it’s released so they have time to do a write-up.
If you are writing the Press Release yourself then I recommend you doing so in the Hemming Way app, which will enhance your writing by making suggestions and helping you write in a simple, clear and powerful manner.
