Are you launching a new product or website? Announcing a new book, movie or seminar? Then you've probably created a press release ? sharing the: who, what, when, where, how and why of your special newsworthy item.
However, there is a lot more to a press release than just creating one. Perhaps the most important aspect of a press release is the distribution. The purpose of a press release is to gather media attention. Online there are many places to post your press release. However, if you're on a low project budget, the cost can be prohibitive ? ranging from the hundreds to even thousands of dollars.
Below, I've gathered several sites, forums and lists that will allow you to distribute your press release for free!

There are many avenues out there for getting the word out without going broke! So, don't be intimidated, get started sharing the word. You may just be surprised by the results!!
