How to Use Press Releases to market your ebook.

A press release is a statement prepared for distribution to the news media announcing something with news value to gain media coverage.  If done well, it can bring in substantial revenue for you.  It can be a powerful tool for marketing your ebook. You can use a press release to announce the publication of your book or announce a limited time offer of your ebook.

There are several free online press release distribution and press release services to help you get good exposure for your press release.  These services help you build roads from your ebook to potential clients.  They provide your press releases with hyper links back to your blog and build paths for internet users to discover you and your book.

I suggest trying the free services first as the paid services will cost $300 or more.  PRlog.com is my favorite free service.  They are a free online press release distribution and press release submission service that provides HTML links in your press release body, a search engine optimized web page, multiple industries and tags, video press release, and Spam protection on your email address.

PRlog.com distributes your press release to numerous news sites, numerous search engines, numerous java script html & RSS feeds.  They provide customizable real time daily and weekly alerts, social media integration, and your own press room.

Other free press release distribution sites that provide paid services and some free ones, include: 24-7PressRelease.com, 1888PressRelease.com, ClickPress.com, EcommWire.com, Express-Press-Release.com, Free-Press-Release.com, Free-Press-Release-Center.info, I-Newswire.com, NewswireToday.com, PR.com, PR9.net, PRBuzz.com, PRCompass.com, PRUrgent.com, Press-Base.com, PressAbout.com, PressMethod.com, PRLeap.com, PRLog.org, TheOpenPress.com.
