My Press Release is Live…!

By Paul Wilson

Hey people,

Screen shot 2009-10-03 at 22.42.32

As you may or may not know, I have been talking about doing it for a couple of weeks…

YES, I have finally got round to releasing my FIRST Press Release!

It only went live this morning, so I have no real results to show for it so far.

Oh, apart from the PR is on the front page of google for the search Paul Wilson, which is pretty cool with a common name such as mine…lol :-)

Yeah ok it’s right at the bottom, but i’m pretty pleased with that in just a few hours.

I know a few people have shown quite a bit of interest in this, so I thought I would post and let you know :-)

I have had a few visitors so far, but not sure how long these things take to get moving, PLUS google analytics is always a few hours behind.

A link to the actual release can be found here

I will post again in a few days to let you know how things are going, as I know people are keen to find out what kind of results these produce.

That’s it for now…let me know what you think :-)

Enjoy the rest of your weekend,

Paul

    Hey Paul,

    Great looking press release, I remember you asking if I had done any PR’s a while ago.

    Will you be able to track if the traffic is coming from thr PR itself or if they are clicking the link inside to get back here as I noticed your link doesn’t open in a new window?

    I look forward to finding out the results,

      Hey James,

      I will only be able to track through google analytics. Everything opens in a new window from here anyway, but I understand where you’re coming from.

      You can’t change options like this when you submit it, as they seem to be pretty strict on the format etc.

      I’ll post some results as soon as I have enough to go on :-)

      Talk soon,

      Paul

      • James Howard says:

        Yep your right,they open in a new window. Not sure what I did somehow closed your site and just had the PR page up. My IE has been playing up lately,freezing and closing I tend to use Firefox because of that but not that time I guess.

        Sorry to worry you on that,

    Hey Paul,

    Good stuff, the press release is very well written, I hope it brings you lots of targeted traffic. :)

    I will be very interested in the results, as I’m sure many others will be too.

    I’ll have to chat on Skype with you again soon, I’ve been busy last week. Probably will be again this week, but I’m sure I’ll find a bit of time at some point.

    Hey Paul,

    Believe it or not that is the first press release I’ve ever read. Excellent job in writing it.

    I’ll be very much interested to hear what kind of results you get from this tactic. I’ve heard that well written (and yours is) press releases result in a lot of traffic. I hope what I hear is true for your sake.

    Kudos, Paul.

    Your press release is clear and engaging. It totally makes the reader want your ‘7 Step Success Formula’ ebook! Great job, and all good wishes for tons of targeted traffic and success.

    • Paul Wilson says:

    Hi Paul,

    I’m really curious to read your next post to find out how the press release worked for you in the end.

    I’m sure it will have worked out for you and what is most important, you’ll know what to do the next time and how to make it even better.

    I will want to try making a press release sometime in the future and being able to get some clues from you is great.
