Five Tips to Extend the Life of your Press Release

If you're looking to extend the life span and get the most publicity from your next press release, here are a few ideas on how:

1) Tweet about it and link to the release over the next few weeks. Don't forget to use relevant hashtags so more eye will see your tweets.

2) In addition to a paid wire service (PR Web, Business Wire, etc.) send it out via all the free press release services too (Free-Press-Release.com or Express-Press-Release.com).

3) Comment on blogs that cover your press release's topic matter and include a link to your press release.

4) Email your release to all relevant media contacts and bloggers. Don't forget to include a introductory note about why your information is something their readers will want to know about.

5) Refer to and link to your press releases in your blog postings.
