Writing a press release about you, your blog or the products and services you offer an serve as a great marketing tool that can bring in lots of traffic to your site. Below are 3 really good reasons why you should use press releases to promote your site. Press Releases bring...
Quality links to your site. Many press release directories allow anchor- text links (use your targeted keywords as anchor text links), which can help increase the authority of your blog. Just don't overdo it with links in your press release. Darren Rowse from Problogger.net recommends one link per 100 words.
Exposure from the media. Although you may think most people are found through social media efforts , traditional media platforms still rely on press releases for newsworthy events. The media still looks for attention getting stories. Even if you press release doesn't become a story in a popular newspaper,or on a television, it may still catch the attention of a journalist who may easily write about you or products/services later.

Learning how to promote yourself is just as important as promoting your services and products. Customers will see you more as an expert in your niche when you give them a little information about yourself. This type of information could be how you started your business, a little personal information about your hobbies or interest in music or art. You can even include your education credentials, or awards you've won in grade school, at work, or as an creative entrepreneur.
Ok- I understand that tooting your own horn- isn't easy- so I thought I would offer you 10 easy ways to promote yourself.
1. Teach a free webinar class on a subject related to your business or hobbie. Use Any Meeting to produce your webinar. It's a FREE webinar hosting site. Very easy to use and to promote on social media platforms.
2. Publish a newsletter. Use the extra space in your newsletter to write about yourself . This could be called "A Note From the Editor".
3. Include a page on your site called "About Me". Along with information about you - include pictures. This shows people your not hiding behind your business.
4. Write an article on your area of expertise for another blog. Include a resource box at the end of the article. In the resource box include information about yourself and where readers can find more information about you.
5. Create and giveaway a free ebook. In the ebook include a section called "About The Author". Also include an advertisement for your business.
6. Participate in online communities like newsgroups,discussion boards, e-mail discussion lists and chat rooms. You will meet many people and in return they will get to know you.
7. Donate your time, products, or services to charities.You can list the charities you've contributed to on your site. This will show readers that you care about others.
8. Promote yourself offline; teach a free class offline,speak at business seminars, join a business club or association. Assemble fundraisers for charity.
9. Offer free help to your readers. You could do it via e-mail or phone. They will get to know you and feel more comfortable buying your products.
10. Publish information about yourself and business history in your ad copy. While people are reading it they begin to trust you and your business. Don't over do it though, you want to keep them interested in your product.

One of the most effective ways to improve traffic to your blog: is to distribute your content as a RSS feed. When you create a feed for your blog – a simple, one-time process anyone can do – you triple its effectiveness and desirability.
RSS (most commonly expanded as Really Simple Syndication) is a family of web feed formats used to publish frequently updated works—such as blog entries, news headlines, audio, and video—in a standardized format. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS
Ideally, you want people to depend on your regular posts as a useful and enjoyable part of their daily routine. One of the strongest tips I can give you: Think of them reading your posts when you write, like a newspaper sent to them digital to their email box.
Fast, easily read content that is punchy and to the point. You have only a few seconds to really capture his attention before he skips over you and moves on to the next item in his RSS feed reader. Think of this – and you’ll be less inclined to ramble, go off on tangents – or skip writing posts for days at a time altogether.
If you’ve forgotten how to create an RSS feed, or never bothered to learn – now is the time!
Happy RSS feeding,
