Once published your press release will be listed in Google News, WotNews and many other major news sources and emailed to the thousands of people who subscribe to these alerts using keywords.  The links from our highly ranked website to yours directly improves your search engine results – and for major keywords you will also find your press release featured on Page 1 of a Google Search.

2.    Direct Media Distribution

You may select a Targeted Media List from more than 10,000 contacts that we maintain for you, across more than 200 categories. We manage the whole mailing saving you countless hours of time and frustration. You can build a strong, targeted Media List in minutes. View our Media Categories here:

3.    Distribution – Social Media

If you have purchased a premium service, your release is actively shared by our staff and extended networks in relevant LinkedIn Groups, Facebook, Twitter, Digg, WotNews, Yahoo! and many more.  It will be emailed to our subscribers too.

This results in tens of thousands of emails being distributed with your headline and link. You can greatly increase your influence by:

  • Sharing on Facebook (FB) – join the NewsMaker Facebook page and ‘share’ your headline from there to your networks
  • Retweeting (RT’ing) on Twitter – make a further comment @newsmaker2
  • “Favoriting” in DIGG – search for your release and “Digg” to greatly improve search engine results overnight
  • Discussing and linking on LinkedIn – join relevant LinkedIn Groups and comment on the posts we make on your behalf
  • Directly sharing from your unique Newsmaker Page using the “share” feature

*Pricing discount minimum 25% on casual use; more for prepaid packs.

4.    Reporting on Social Media Activities

Premium Members also receive a Social Media Activity Report showing what happened to your press release after it was published.  Below is an example:

 


 

* Please note, if your press release has previously been posted elsewhere on the web, it may not be indexed by Google News. On these occasions, please slightly edit your heading and first paragraph to give the best coverage possible.

† Online activity is direct link only and is representation of activity. It does not cover all online activity from your press release.
