Web 2.0

Today I finally found some good information on Web 2.0.  I have read articles and seen YouTube videos that make it sound so difficult.  Finally I found articles that make sense about the topic.  So in a nut shell Web 2.0 is basically networking such as Blogging, Social Networking, Article Submission, Video & Podcasting, Wiki’s and Syndication.

Press Releases continued…

 

I have been monitoring my google alerts to see how my press releases and am very glad that I am doing that, not all press companies email you verification that your release has been approved.

I recommend setting up google alerts for your company name, your website and your full name to see what news pops up about you online.  I am happy I did because I found the below links to my press release:

Backbone Magazine

 

PR Canada    

PR Web    

Press Release 365 

PR-USA.Net

 

I know that all press releases submitted to different pr sites should be different and unique and not the same.  I decided to send out the same one to all sites because I didn’t want to waste any more time and money and just wanted to get some news out there.  However since my first release is now out there, I will ensure that future releases will be unique to each site I send it too.  Sending out frequent press releases will help with traffic on your site and help you build an online presence.  Frequent traffic means better search engine ranking.

What Does Your Handshake Say?

There are many things a handshake can tell about a person. 

 

Have you ever noticed the way some people have shaken your hand and you want to yell out “OUCH” or their hand was so fragile you felt like they were as limp as a noodle?

 
Shaking hands are a sign of respect, trust and confidence. In the business world shaking hands is a must.  The first impression a limp noodle makes is a lack in confidence, fear and trust. There are not very many people who would like to do business with someone that seems to lack confidence. When you shake hands with people upon meeting you are most likely to be remembered.

My first press release has been noticed

My Google alerts listed my press release this morning.  I am very excited about it! It does not show my contact info for some reason.  I emailed them about it so hopefully I will have an answer about that soon.  I have a busy day ahead of me and will be posting my press release to many free pr sites.  I am still questioning if I should just post to PRWEB.  Feel free to provide me and blog readers your advice and experiences. Off to work I go!

1st published Press Release

Press Release

I am so excited to send out my first press release!! I have yet to send it to pr submission sites.  So far I only sent it via email to a few radio and news stations and newspapers. 

I will be busy submitting to other pr sites tomorrow and I am debating if I should just send it to PRWEB.com and pay for it or send it to a bunch of free sites.  From what I hear when you send it to one paid site it has more exposure and you don’t even need to submit it to the free sites etc.  I am going to have to do my research on that and see what works best.  So here is my first press release.  I decided to do things a little different than normal.  If this does not work well then I will send out another pr that introduces the website instead.  You learn from your mistakes but hopefully it won’t be a mistake!
