Sorry, I don't understand your comment and probably it isn't helpful to me or other people on this forum. Please refrain from posting if you have nothing to contribute.

Yes, I know there are many on Google but I am looking for some services that people have actually tried and can recommend.

I am not aware of any Free press release services that will distribute your press release to the directories online.

This can be accomplished by using RoboForm. Roboform partially automates account creation and the filling out of forms....(Press a button and it fills all the fields for you) It is well worth the $30 or so dollars.

I have paid $40 to have a press release created and sent to 120 directories about 2 weeks ago. I was not impressed with the service so I won't recommend it.

There are time costs and $ costs. There is no such thing as a free lunch....

Don't mind Kamakiri's comment. His glass is often half empty - and is great resource to find holes in your plans and ideas. When I posted my Target Monthly Income post - he and I went back and forth a bit. Just focus on your own success - don't let his negativity get to you.

Napoleon - You are right, you didn't understand my post. There aren't any good free PR distribution services. Encouraging that line of thinking wasts both of our time.

You can't pick out one story of your own that was picked up because of a press release sent to a free service, and you won't have one picked up using them in the future. They are either waste of internet space spam libraries, hucksters, or snake oil salesmen.

If you aren't interested in criticism, the My Little Pony forum is down the hall next to the door marked FAIL.

See that search button up at the top of the screen? USE IT! Press Releases have been covered to death here. Quit being lazy, it has nothing to do with the 4HWW.

(Thanks Network)

You're right, I wasn't interested in criticism. I was asking for some good FREE press release distribution services. I didn't ask for criticism but for information. If you think there is no such thing as good free services, you can just say so like you did in your last post, no need to be sarcastic.

Your first reply just reveals some deep insecurity but no one here is interested in your personal issues so please keep that type of remarks to yourself or your psychologist.

This is not the first time you do this and I'm not the only one who can't see any value in your "contributions" to this forum.

Now, a guy who posts a 4-word reply is calling me lazy? lol...:D

Ahah! An excellent opportunity for me to provide everyone with a handy tip next time you're involved in a deliberation!


Past-tense discussion is for blame
Present-tense discussion is for government
Future tense is for decisions


Keep that in mind, using the latter tense next time you're arguing a topic, and the blame game will magically disappear, leaving you with a quick and healthy discussion.

If we keep this rule of thumb in mind here, this will continue to be one of the few forums that lack angry uppercase posts, giving all of us something to be proud of.

Kam Only asked a question of the "immediate reply" kind. If you find that sarcastic and bring psychology to the table that probably says something about you Napoleon but it surely says nothing about Kam.

If you do not like what he has to say, just add him to your ignore list.

And by the way, when I read your question, my thoughts were along the same line as Kam's. But I think I felt a bit insecure so I decided to click away in stead of writing something similar.

You know, you are a serious piece of work. you ask for free press release services, yet didn't bother to take the time to google it first? I got about 114 million hits on that one and it took me less time to do than my first post to this thread.

If you keep your head in the sand you will never make it. You also didn't bother searching this forum. The vast majority of very productive advice on press releases has been posted by yours truly. Would you like me to hold your hand along the path? Would you just like the fish?

You clearly don't care about quality, as you haven't even looked into what a press release is used for. Spam is pointless, but throwing your spam out there in the midst of 300,000 other similar pieces of spam is futile, and you are assured of getting that result by going with any free PR listing service.

We could go around in circles, but your ad hominem attacks clearly show you are as misguided here as you are in your belief that there is a free lunch, in terms of a free service that will get you in the news. My personal insecurities have no bearing on the truth or falsity of my opinions, or the effectiveness of my advice (I have an inbox a load of visitor messages telling me how effective they are). That doesn't change the facts.


You didn't bother to google it
You didn't bother to search the forum
Good and free are usually mutually exclusive
Your desire to latch onto any thread to legitimize your question
You are asking the wrong questions in the first place

Great advice. Let's follow it.
