What is a Press Release? It's nothing more than a news story, a factual article about you and your business. Who knows better than you about your business? Who's more qualified to write about your business? Who's more passionate? You get my point.

Basically anytime your business has something new to tell the world you need to write a press release.

And the result of doing this is more credibility, publicity, and the ultimate goal, more customers.

An informative press release is far more valuable than any other form of advertising, and can generate an astounding measure of new business for you. The best part, it's an entirely free form of Internet marketing.

What make a great press release? Here are the three essential elements. You'll need a headline, an introduction, and a body. The headline is the most important piece since it will be the first words your readers will see. Take your time to write a compelling headline that will draw your readers in wanting to learn more.

If you need some inspiration, take a look at other great press releases that draw you in. Chances are they're drawing others in also.

Next is the Introduction. Keep it short and interesting with an eye again on drawing the reader in further.

The body is your meat. Start with your most compelling information first. It needs to have all of the elements a great news story would have like who, what, when, where, how, and why. Since great news stories are mainly about people, you need to focus these important aspects on people.

Keep your press release short and to the point. No more than four to five hundred words. Again keep in mind to have the most important information at the beginning of your release. And always, always keep your press release truthful and factual.

Don't let your sentences get to wordy or you paragraphs to long. Paragraphs should be no more than three or four sentences. This will make your press release much more readable.

Pay attention to details making sure your spelling and grammar are right. If they aren't, your press release will not get published.

Don't send extraneous material like pictures with your press release. If pictures are important have a link in the body of your text leading to an external website to reference them.

Finally, there are two other components of a great press release you might want to finish it off. First is a short "about us" section. This will provide back-round information about you and your business. Second you will want to provide your contact information for individuals who would like to learn more about you and your business.

Armed with this information you are now ready to implement another sublime tool in your Internet marketing toolbox for your continued success.
