Place Keywords In Body – make sure that your keywords are threaded throughout your press release.

State A Problem And Offer A Solution – the body of your press release then needs to state the problem that your target market faces, and how your product or service offers the solution

Make It Newsworthy – try and link your press release to current news- the more relevant your press release is, the more likley it is to be picked up and published by different media outlets.
