BloNewswire Services are Not a Cure-All. TNNW offers an opinion and a wrap-around enhancement.g title...
NEWS RELEASES: The most cost-effective way of immediately reaching a giant audience. Click on http://ping.fm/M4JdM
We do not simply offer you what PR Web and PR Newswire offer you...they are merely broadcast media, unless you request that they do a great deal more; then, watch your wallet! -- We are a full-service, full-focus operation.
We do it all...headline it, get it written, get it edited, stuff it with keywords and hyperlinks, submit it to the right geographical and vertical markets, track it, re-publish it, and more! We use those other newswire services as broadcasters, too (they have a tremendous market domination) - but we get to your target market with a surgical strike, and maximum MEANINGFUL exposure. We will not send out a useless raft of press releases which will either be ignored or unpublished. We get you published in the right places so that you get the optimal results. We do not "scattergun." We help you structure a meaningful thematic news release campaign, and we strike with precision.
Questions: If you have used Newswire services, what have your results been like? What have been the biggest problems? What did a single release (your most effective one) cost you, if you factor in the hours and wages and personnel involved? What do you look for in a TRUE News Release Service? What improvements would you like to see? Either answer directly, or email us at info@TheNationalNetworker.com

Newswire Services and Press Releases ? Be Better Informed
The most cost-effective way of immediately reaching a giant audience is through a well prepared and properly-submitted news release.
PR Web and PR Newswire are the industry’s dominant broadcast media, and they are powerful channels to a large potential audience. What many DIY entrepreneurs seem to consistently overlook is that regardless of which service you choose, that’s the least important part of the process.
To optimize your release you must headline it, get it written, get it edited, permeate it with keywords, hyperlinks and powerful quotes, give it third-party credibility in the submission process (i.e., so it doesn’t look like a typical self-serving “press release”) submit it to the right geographical and vertical markets, track it, re-publish it, and more.
The process is complex, but worth doing professionally. If you request that the two primary wire services do all of this for you, you will be overwhelmed at the real cost.
A good news release should be like a guided missle, and not like a fog ball. Also, any good release should be part of a broader campaign. Isolated releases are limited in their lasting effectiveness.
Get ready to change your vocabulary. Some new terms: newsworthiness, objectivity, “snaggable” quotes, traction, retention, longevity, echo, stickiness, conversion potential, cross-media conductivity, and others.
Questions: Assuming that there is a trade-off, which would you prefer – a tremendous number of “reads” of the release, or a large number of “hits” on your website, with a good conversion ratio? Are there times (and reasons why you’d want the opposite situation? Weigh in at http://ping.fm/thLf3 Your input will help The National Networker Companies to build a superior service.

The Power of News Releases and BUZZWORKS
Colleagues:
The best marketing investment? The News Release. The ROI is astounding. See
http://ping.fm/jgon0 for additional information. Marketing to online communities and media groups is indeed effective. BUT: The issue is that you are inherently limiting your exposure to either: 1) information seekers, 2) information exchangers and colleagues, or 3) a “closed circuit” environment. Most of these individuals are not truly prospective clients or customers.
When you launch a well-crafted, keyword-stuffed, optimized News Release, submitted through the proper channels in the best format, you have the potential to reach an audience of prospective clients, customers and referral sources of millions of readers. Doing it properly can catapult your company, its product (or service) and its brand instantly. It is the only way to really promote a product launch, informational webinar, program or a new book.
Do-it-yourselfers fail. They try to save a few dollars on an $80 “press release – it winds up actually costing hundreds more!. The cost to do it professionally and correctly: anywhere from $365.00 to $1,000.00. BUT: One release OPENS THE WORLD TO YOU. A series of releases (perhaps monthly) gets the world to COME TO YOU. http://ping.fm/eTL6H
