Question Free Or Paid Press Releases And How Many Times?

Hello,

I have a press release for the launch of our website. At this point I am not focused on other medias than the internet (so no radio or tv).

I submitted it to two free services online for press releases. I've also found a lot more sites, including some paid ones. Is it a good thing to send that same press release to all/most of these websites? Or is it a waste of time?
Should I ignore the free ones altogether?

The things I found out about press releases:
- to have great content and copy
- not to send new press releases too often, only when there's actually something to say

Things I don't know:
- can I submit the same press release to 100 websites?

Some of the websites I found:
  • free-press-release.com
  • pr-inside.com
  • pressabout.com
  • prfree.com
  • przoom.com
  • openpr.com
  • 24-7pressrelease.com
  • publicityguaranteed.com
  • i-newswire.com
  • 1888pressrelease.com
  • postafreepressrelease.com
  • eworldwire.com (paid)
  • prweb.com (paid)
  • erelease.com (paid)
  • massmediadistribution.com (paid)
  • wiredprnews.com (paid)
thank you.

Yes you can send the same press release to 100+ free press release sites. The more the better. If you need to add to your list I have a list of about 35 free press release sites.

Let me know.

Hi Maria, is it possible to share that list with the rest of us here? I think it would also be helpful to others!

We also submit our press releases to local newspapers or television stations. Building a press list takes some time but don't get discouraged by the ones that don't respond. Also, be sure your contact information is up to date so they can contact you if further information is needed.
