Submitting Press Releases online can serve you well

In the Corporate Press Release pages of MHMSM.com, Manufactured Homes factories and suppliers can publicize the latest news form their companies at no charge.

Two questions arise:

  1. Is it worth the effort?
  2. Why don’t more manufacturers, retailers, suppliers, communities, etc. take advantage of the program?

Let’s start with “Is it worth the effort?”

In my Online Marketing business, I handle the needs of 42 clients, with 60 blogs and 72 total websites. Three of the websites* sell video tutorial sets for popular Open Source software applications.

In the past few months, traffic has been steady but flat. No big increases or decreases in month-to-month traffic and sales.

Last week, I created a Press Release and submitted it to three online Press Release services. Here is what my Google Analytics figures looked like today:

Now remember that just a few days earlier, the figures showed anywhere from down 5.14% to up by 11.8%, fairly flat. But just a few days later, the monthly figures show increases from 17.5% to 84.38% and a corresponding uptick in orders.

So, was it worth it? Absolutely!

With that in mind, I ask why don’t more manufacturers, retailers, suppliers, communities, etc. take advantage of the program?

I don’t have an answer for that. Maybe no one to write the Press Release? If that’s the issue, you can hire someone online to do them for you at a very reasonable cost. Try Elance or oDesk of post on LinkedIn to find someone to create your Press Release.

I’m no expert writer and I got an 84.38% bump in traffic and sales by creating my own. If you possess the skills to write a business letter, you can probably create a Press Release.

Do it today and reap the benefits almost immediately.
