Where to send a press release?

[CharlesM]

Does anyone know good places I can send a press release about a new website I want to launch?

I think bizcommunity has a PR service. And otherwise, you've just got to send it individually to the right person at the publications you think would be interested.

Thanks for the info. Bizcommunity is terribly expensive, especially for a micro start up website that doesn't generate income yet.

Sorry - I'm in the business of receiving PRs rather than distributing them.

Just remembered -> mediaweb

 

[Moederloos]

Send it to chiskop.

 

[chiskop]

Do not.

 

[CharlesM]

Send it to chiskop.

Why Chiskop? He a good contact to have in the PR field?

Post the link in the classifieds section, and in the newsgroups. Put it in your signature.
Sign up with google ads.

There is a lot of relatively free publicity out there.

No he is not.

No offense to you personally, CharlesM, but I assume that the PR would be about mydebt.co.za, and it's not the type of subject I need PRs on. I already get enough PRs, thanks.

 

[CharlesM]

No offense taken.

Publicity for mydebt.co.za would be great, but the site has already launched successfully.

I am working on 23 other website projects, ranging from dating to debt, entertainment, shopping. Building my own little "network", lol.

I found pressportal.co.za to be a good place to submit a press release. I've had a few hits from that site, so it seems effective.
