Description:
Create an Effective Press Release in 7 Easy Steps
If you can write an article, you can write a press release.
A press release is simply an announcement. It can be announcing your new book, a promotion launch, a special sale, news, a new article, an accomplishment, events, workshops, and so on.
The purpose of a press release, also called a media release, is to alert as many people as possible to your special news/information. But, it’s important for your press release to be at least somewhat news worthy. In addition, it’s a good idea to provide the ‘what’s in it for me’ (WIIFM) aspect of the topic.
There are seven simple steps to creating an effective press release:
1. Create an effective title (headline)
2. The point-on synopsis
3. Bullet points (optional)
4. Overview
5. Bio
6. Edit and Proof
7. Research and Submit
Join Karen Cioffi as she goes through each step.

We'll be offering (at the discretion of the presenter) an After Workshop Package of this workshop for those who didn't register and would like to purchase it. It'll include the live webinar recording, the workshop handout, and possibly a podcast. Be sure to Get Yours when it's available!

Really looking forward to this one. I've written quite a few press releases, but making them effective and able to stand out in a sea of releases is something I'd love to learn more about.
Thanks, MaryJo, it's appreciated!
Martha, thanks.
Maggie, Uh oh, high expectations! LOL
