Press Release: A news piece is created to let the public know about something NEW* within your business whether it be; updates, upgrades, partnerships, closures, openings, or policies. This strategy helps to notify news sources, and journalists in the hopes that they will use your material to showcase your company for an upcoming story. Articles and Tips: An informational piece is created to teach visitors about any given subject in the effort to showcase your talents and professional knowledge. This strategy helps to drive traffic to your company's website(s) to increase sales. The material your reading has been created to help you determine the difference between a press release, and an article.

The question is whether you should pay for wire services to mass market your news, or simply submit press releases to directories for free? Press release distribution has been around since newspapers have been printing the local news. These days, anyone can search online and find literally 10's of thousands of local print and online media to submit press releases to. With the introduction of article marketing to the internet community many years back, companies can now distribute news in many different ways.

The greatest tool to multiply those efforts is through RSS news syndication... For those of you know don't know yet, RSS (Real Simple Syndication) allows webmasters and syndication directories to view, post, and manipulate press release headlines, descriptions, and sources at will. This 'file' shows the last 10, 20, or even 50+ news headlines generated by your company. With this 'file' as I call it, you can then mass-produce your news to areas online you may have never dreamed of before!

One of the oldest methods for increasing public relations for any business is through the process of submitting press release syndication news. These days, companies of all sizes have the ability to 'get the word out' effectively. Because of the distribution power of the internet, companies no longer have to depend on wire services to get PR exposure locally or worldwide.
