First of all, let me say – nice site! Good job! I was wondering if you write press releases? I am starting a new company that will have 2 products, so I need 3 press releases (1 for the company and 2 for the products) written.
ALSO should I get a membership at PRNewsWire? Is it worth the $680 distibution service? Have you used them before?
Any help on these points would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Ian…
I’ve just written a blog addressing that topic, so be sure to check it out. I also sent you an e-mail with some additional information that you may find helpful. The short answer is this: I think you should give it a shot yourself before forking over that kind of money. I’m not sure they’ll be much return on your investment.
