OK, some of you might have some really important announcements about your company that you want to send out in a Press Release. Maybe a new business has just started, or you have a great offer coming out for a limited time, or big news has hit the airwaves and you want others to know about it. Well, submitting a press release into DirectMatches just might be a great way to get your timely news out to the masses.
Press Releases are another great feature that you have available to you as a DirectMatches member.
To access your Press Release option, go to your "my profile" page and at the top menu bar, click on "My Press". From here, you can read other people's press releases or write your own. Remember, in order for a press release to be wired, it has to be newsworthy. This is not where you will post your classified ads, only information that is new, newsorthy, timely and different. DirectMatches will monitor all posts before sending out to the general population.
There are a lot of press releases in the system, so you need to figure out what is going to make yours stand out. Your press release will be dated, and will also include your name, email, phone, website, and company name. It will also link back to your profile (which is very important).
From the Press Release page, you can also click on the major search engines to see what sorts of news is out there about DirectMatches and it's an easy way to then take your Press Release and cross post it to some of those same places, once you set up an account. How neat is that?
