If you want to perk up the professional image of your online business, add press releases to your public relations toolbox. Don't worry. Drafting an effective press release isn't as intimidating as you may think.Copyright © GT Bulmer http://www.StarrBizz.comA press release is essentially a good news story. Any time your business introduces a new product or does anything newsworthy, you should create a press release to announce the event to the world. It doesn't matter whether you run a home-based business or a major corporation, somebody wants what you've got and it's your job to tell them you've got it! Journalists and Internet writers welcome material that is new or interesting. It is their job to educate and inform the masses and your press release is just the thing to fit the bill. They will either use your press release as you have presented it, or they will use it as the basis for an article designed to highlight or feature your news and your company. This will enhance your credibility and your image, and it will attract a stream of customers. Everybody has heard the term, "You can't buy that kind of publicity." Well, that's what a good press release is all about. It can be more valuable than an advertisement and even more effective in generating more customers. The bottom line: write as many press releases as you can. The elements of a good press release include three essential parts: the headline, the introduction, and the body. The headline should be informative and carry enough punch to make the reader want to know more. Brainstorm a selection of key words that best describe the product or service you are announcing, then create several potential headlines using combinations of those words. Rearrange the words and keep experimenting until you come up with a "killer" headline that you know is going to get attention. Publishers may still edit your submission, but if it carries enough appeal, they won't have to. The introduction should be short and interesting. A quick statement telling briefly and clearly what the product or service is that you are announcing. The body contains all of the who, what, when, where and why details that round out the press release. "Good news" stories are generally people-centered, so wherever possible, focus on the "people" aspect of your new product or service. The most effective press releases are timely, relating to some other newsworthy event that has just occurred. Or, if targeting a particular industry or business sector, the press release can focus on some highly relative aspect or issue. Press releases should be brief and to the point, around 400 to 500 words in length. Grammar and spelling should be standard and correct, and the content and details should be factual and truthful. Short paragraphs, about three or four sentences in length, are the most comfortable to read. Extra material, like photos, is not typically sent with the press release. If photos are important they can be posted on a website and referenced in the body of the press release. You can include a short "about us" section at the end of the press release, providing some background information about your business and yourself. Also, be sure to include your "media contact" details so the media and other publishers know who best to contact for additional information. Finally, press releases traditionally close with the symbol, "###" to signify that they are complete. Now that you know the basics of an effective press release, it's time to get busy and roll out the good news on your latest product or program!

They always tell you that if you want to be successful, do something you love. Well, I finally listened and now I can tell you, it works! I am building my online business, working from home, and loving it.Copyright © GT Bulmer http://www.StarrBizz.comI have always been attracted to those "work at home" ads that promise to show you how to make money in your own home business. Responding to one of those ads years ago, I started out in traditional mail order, literally working from my kitchen table. Since then, I have progressed up the marketing ladder and am now happily building a profitable Internet business. I can still do it from my kitchen table if I want, and I sometimes do, thanks to my laptop computer. The rest of the time, I cocoon myself in my home office because, well, it's my little sanctuary. I've been told I should just bring a bed in here and my lair would be complete. Very tempting! It is true that I do thrive on marketing and promotion. However, when I first tuned into Internet Marketing, I soon discovered that making money online was a whole different kind of business. You need certain tools and resources to assure your success. And you need to know how best to USE those tools and resources if you want to avoid unnecessary delays, expenses and frustration and accelerate your online success. Fortunately, I was able to quickly identify a marketing group that offered everything an aspiring Internet Marketer could want, all in one neat little package: money-making programs, online resources to market the programs, and training and support to make those programs a financial success. What I discovered was the Plug-In Profit Site (PIPS) program. The PIPS program provides you with a feature-packed, fully loaded and fully automated e-commerce website, all setup for you (FREE), uploaded and ready to take orders for you in 24 hours. Guaranteed. It also comes with a 400 day pre-written email autoresponder campaign built in to your website that automatically follows-up with your visitors to make extra sales for you! Basically, you are getting a complete Internet Marketing business portfolio and ongoing training to manage it. From there, all business decisions and choices are yours. Just like all good business opportunities, PIPS is self-directed, but the advantage is, you have support at your fingertips. When you first join PIPS, there are a couple of core programs and services you have to pay for. The rest are completely optional. You are free to choose the additional services and programs you want and you decide how much to spend on marketing and promotion. One thing you will need is a web hosting account. If you already have one, great. If not, the PIPS program has an excellent hosting service to recommend and it is very inexpensive. Plus, when you refer others to this hosting service, you earn $10 every month they stay active! A hosting service that pays you? I jumped on that one fast! PIPS includes 6 automated income streams in the core program, plus additional optional affiliate opportunities. Some are free to join. Others are paid programs. Your commissions can run anywhere from a few dollars per sale, to as much as $1,000 per sale. My friend, PIPS is a complete "Internet Business-in-a-Box" - you really need to take a few minutes to look at it. There is no cost to go "window shopping." Plug-In Profit Site (PIPS)Have you found your niche on the Net, yet? Are you doing what you love? I can tell you that I am!If you want to learn how to work at home for fun and profit, check into PIPS now.

Forums are great for Internet Marketing information, insight and inspiration. If you are in the forum anyway, why not get rewarded for posting, replying, even READING forum posts, too!Copyright © GT Bulmer http://www.StarrBizz.comA few months ago I began recommending the ConquerYourNiche forum as one of the best places to go for information and insight on Internet Marketing. It is FREE to join and if you are building a home-based business and are seeking to accelerate your work at home income, ConquerYourNiche is definitely the place you want to hang out! Since I last wrote about forums, I have been enjoying some added benefits from ConquerYourNiche. Not only do I get to rub shoulders with many experienced and inspirational marketers, but I also get to have my ads shown to other forum members FREE. It's a great way to market your products, programs, services and opportunities. Every time you post a new topic, post a question or a reply to a topic, or even read a post, you earn ad credits. Then, ads you have already set up get displayed to other forum members. You have complete control to edit, replace, pause or activate your ads at any time. And if you want your ads to run more often, all you do is read more forum posts and post more of your own questions and answers! You can also monitor how often your ads have been displayed and how many hits they have received. For me, ConquerYourNiche is the best of all worlds: I first joined the free ConquerYourNiche service to expand my knowledge about home-based Internet Marketing and to pick up inspiration and recommendations from fellow online business enthusiasts. Now, I get to network with some of the best, and I get to advertise my products and programs. I think you will be doing yourself a big favour by registering at ConquerYourNiche and checking it out for yourself. I know you will be impressed. Here's a warning, though: some of us find ConquerYourNiche to be irresistibly habit forming! Go ahead. Check it out now and see if I am right. ConquerYourNiche is FREE to join. By the way, be sure to pay attention and watch for a one-time offer that will pop up when you register. It will tell you how to get up to FIVE TIMES the amount of exposure for your ads on the ConquerYourNiche forum. That's exactly what I am doing. It works!Yours in Prosperity, GT StarrBizz.comResource Links:----------------------------------------------------------------- To find GT's best work at home, home-based business ideas, opportunities and affiliate resources visit: http://www.StarrBizz.com http://www.StarrBizz.com/recommends/3FreeEbooks http://www.StarrBizz.com/recommends/PlugInProfitSite-----------------------------------------------------------------

All you're doing in either case is positioning your message in front of the people who are already looking for these opportunities. The systems will then do the selling for you. Look at it this way.
