Women’s Media Summit is packed full of great information. I’ve saved the recordings, and will continue to learn much from the ones I missed. One of the jewels I heard, was Ponn Sabra’s seminar on optimized Press Releases. Press Releases is one of those things I’d put on the back burner, but I’d never realized the impact of an optimized online press release before listening to Ponn.

I downloaded Ponn’s SEO Press Release ebook, listened to her speak at the Women’s Media Summit, and participated in Mario’s (from prweb) online press release seminar. Great tips and advice. I made myself sit down and write, took me all day, editing my first press release the following week. I had no idea what all could be involved in a well thought out online pr. Makes you really sit down and think about your goals and vision.

Check out my first press release, I welcome feedback, what I did well, what could be improved. Bookmarks are always appreciated. I’d never thought about bookmarking press releases before listening to Ponn.

I’ve been cramped for time, getting things done before flying out to visit new grandbaby. Then visiting family, daughter, new granddaughter. In my hurry I forgot to edit all the features in time and missed the chance to add keywords to the press release url. One thing that must be done in advance. If I had it to do over, I’d have just changed the date of the release date and given myself a little more time.

I had a root canal once, took me less time and agony than writing my first press release. I’d rather be playing with graphics or creative writing any day. I’m sure the next one will be easier. Advice to readers: Get Ponn’s pr ebook, listen to the recorded sessions at the Women’s Media Summit, and if you want a great job done painlessly, hire yourself a great pr expert.

Thanks,

Heidi
