Free press release service?

Latelly I would like to take some promotion  experiments with press releases.

As this is something new for me, I would like to find a free service to send the first ones (and then go for prweb, or whatever)

Do you know of any free service that distributes press releases?

I thought you are the prof with this hehe...I know only PRweb (got this link from you)

Michelle knows muh about articles and press releases.

I was just knew prweb, but I have never used any of those services, but I am sure that it worths using them :)

yes right if your news is interesting enough you get listed there ;)

Just found some companies that send free press releases:

http://www.free-press-release.com/ (which I dpn't like much)

http://www.prleap.com/

http://i-newswire.com/

With a first look, prleap sounds to be the best, as in their free plan, they send your press release to 18.000 sources. I guess that's a good start :)

Of course is not good like prweb who send to about 100.000 sources, but I guess you get what you pay for :)

18.ooo is very much,

if 1% repubish your news for free that's alot...

That's true. The only thing I have to do now, is to learn how to write a press release, or send a pm to Michelle :)

most of them have the same structure:

titel / short description
1. introduction/about
2. the news message
3. conclusion / reference


but if you write on a story for more then a hour you should as Michelle to check it :D

Hi Guys,

Been mainly lurking the last couple of weeks - missed this thread somehow. Had a project that took me out of "my office" and left me only about 20-30 min in early am and a couple of hours in the evening to work on my stuff.

I am hoping the project will be over today or tomorrow. Nik, I would love to work with you on promoting the new site. Can you wait for me for a couple of days, then I can give you more time and attention?

I can't right now; but I'll also report back here where some of the copywriter forums say to post releases. (I haven't been to those foums in quite a while.) I will see if there's any new places they are talking about.

I thank you both for the votes of confidence on my abilities.

Thanks for your reply.

I can wait, just drop me a line when you can :)
