Are you the owner of an online busi

ing a single dollar? Press release
writing could well be one of the wa
ys to advertising your products onl
ine.
Technically speaking, press release
s are news item which you can trans
form to cater to your marketing goa
ls by writing ads that have the fea
tures of general news. This could b
e very advantageous in your publici
ty campaign since many people are b
ored of reading ad copies that only
 boast about themselves and want to
 read news which contains solid inf
ormation and hard facts. One of the
 most essential internet marketing
schemes, this could effectively att
ract the eyeballs from targeted groups.

Given below are three ideas to effe
ctual press release writing that ca
n give a boost to your advertising
and marketing campaign programs:

1. Write your copy in the third per
son to create press releases that s
ound objective. Avoid the use of pe
rsonalized phrases and words. Try t
o express what you want to say in a
s much as a concise and brief manne
r as possible. Straightforward desc
ription is the key here - lay out y
our press release in using the 4 Ws
 and 1H of news writing - who, what
, when, where and how.

2. Try to steer clear from hype wor
ds. This is a definite no-no in pre
ss releases. Editors are extremely
impatient of such texts and will di
scard them in no time. And on the o
ther hand readers will find it too
cliché to be honest hence the purpo
se your advertising copy will becom
e ineffective. Simply use objective
 words and neutral descriptions.

3. When you want to insert hype in
press releases there is a way to do
 it. Place direct quotes from peopl
e who lay a claim of loyalty to you
r products and services. Get the wo
rds of endorsement from your CEO or
 marketing officer and put them wor
d by word in your article.

Strategically insert them in your p
ress release to add the X factor in
 your write-up. However, keep in mi
nd not to carry this far because yo
u want your article to be objective
 and not flowing with direct quotat
ions like a book of quotes.
