what do fashion bloggers mostly look at in news? grab their attention?
Answers
If you don't have a previous relationship with these bloggers, then the subject line will be very important. You have to come across as delivering some value rather than a means to an end. I would recommend emailing them first and asking if it's already for you to send them your press release, to establish they are interested in receiving news releases like this from you. To get them to say it's ok, otherwise you run the risk of coming across as spamming them. Once you gain their acceptance you can ensure that what you are sending them will be well received and done something with. If you don't take the time to build the relationship, don't be surprised if they don't do anything with what you send them and you can even expect them to mark it as spam. So my best advice is to contact them and ask them very nicely if you are permitted to send them your new release to gain their permission.
Press releases should be sent as email newsletters. While you can link to items (images, video and info sheets) they can view or download, the release itself should not be an attachment.
One thing that never changes is our desire to keep up with the news. These days, most people prefer to read their news online. According to Pew Research, 89% of Americans get at least some of their local news online. And it is not just consumers who are reading the news online. News readership statistics for the U.S. As a matter of fact, press releases are branding and credibility tools, not SEO tools. They are a great way to get the word out and more effectively brand companies, products, and services. If a release is engaging enough, it can generate social signals, drive shares, direct targeted and organic traffic, and create journalistic interest abroad. All of this is in addition to the sweet maraschino cherry on top – the possibility of major media coverage. A press release lets you spread the word about your company and its offerings in an ethical, journalistic manner that focuses on newsworthiness and branding over SEO, social media, or anything else. Press releases must cover something newsworthy. A PR Daily article outlines six necessary AP style guide steps for composing your release to assure that it is newsworthy.
For example, if your target market consists of the 45-and-over age group, using modern terms that do not appeal to them will not do much to help you gain traction. All releases are targeted when you set them up to go out for distribution. Be sure you research every industry your company, products, or services apply to before setting your industry targets pre-distribution.
Remember that press releases are a major form of branding, which is exponentially vital in today's online marketing world. A stagnant headline may be newsworthy, but that does not mean it is not making people pull their hair out when they read it.
Let us say you own a software company that is releasing its next version with a much-anticipated update that users have begged for the past few years. This title certainly is newsworthy.
Editors at press release distribution services, newspapers, and online news websites are stringent. A Community Toolbox publication offers some tips on avoiding press release rejection by using proper grammar, spelling, titles, style, and prose. However, if your release is not almost picture-perfect, it will go in the rejection pile with all the other shoddily composed news releases that editors get bombarded with day after day.
Collaboration is how some of the finest marketing pieces are created. Imagine splitting the cost of the press release distribution and syndication with a brand that improves your overall branding and reach. Cheap distribution is not good, and good distribution is not cheap. Distribution costs money, plain and simple.
There is a lot of squabble online about which press release distribution service is the best. You will also pay a pretty penny to add photos, videos, social media signals, and so forth. Market wire gets decent traction and features an awesome dashboard with good analytics. PR Web is the most profitable of all distribution services but still charges nearly as much for tier-one distribution as the other services.
As for add-ons, you get more bang for your buck on PR Web because you can add videos, images, and hyperlinks for free. Distribution services provide varying degrees of options for your press release. But, if you do not take some additional “traction-action” yourself, you could be wasting your own time and money. Ensure that your social channels are all set up to syndicate your press release.
That means Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, Reddit, Pinterest, Instagram, Snapchat, etc. When syndicating your press release, you will want to access the dashboard and find different major mediums that it was posted to for distribution. Use a different medium for each social channel syndication.
There is only one service I would recommend for your press release's syndication on social channels, and that service is Pitch Engine. This is a social branding and marketing distribution service that you piggyback with your press release. It allows you to track social analytics and traction as you gain more headway. When you do syndicate your actual release on social media, consider boosting those posts to spread brand awareness, garner more social signals, and create chatter.
Instead, write a unique teaser paragraph or two, then link it to the release on the host site that distributed it or one of the major media outlets that picked it up. Most press release distribution services offer a few very worthwhile add-ons. Consider expanded distribution to hit more sites, albeit at an increased cost. For example, if you are a multinational company, consider worldwide distribution with AP Newswire syndication.
If you are a domestic company, target national regions to hit every major news medium in the U.S. Adding these multimedia elements to your press release helps gather more attention, improves social media reach, and drives brand awareness.

Here are some answers for you that I believe will help you. 1. You should implement a long term and short term strategy right at the beginning.

That would be L-T. The best for Short term for a newly launched site is ad's. Word of warning though. Know your customers demographics such as age, income, education etc, know your competitors demographics and then find the platform (such as social media channels) where your ideal customer is based on those researched demographics and then roll out targeted ad's for them. 2. You have to implement social media strategies right from the beginning of course, based on your demographic research. 3. Get busy Blogging - start with content marketing now. 4.

What should I do to have my first client on Clarity.fm?
I started on Clarity just by answering questions last summer. I used to love Quora but really disagreed with a number of changes they made and so when Clarity launched answers, I started answering questions. I'm incredibly busy but let's face it: we all have extra time. We spend it looking at our phones, on Facebook, socializing with friends, whatever way each person does it, we all spend time on non mission critical stuff. Because I genuinely enjoy helping others, I treated Quora as a way of relaxing the same way others would read news sites or blogs. And so I switched all that time to Clarity by answering questions. I don't recall the exact specifics but by providing real answers (not just, "call me, I can help you), I had my first call request within about a month of my first answer. And I got a nice review. And some more questions answered, and a couple more calls, and a couple more reviews. And from that point, the call volume increased. Simultaneously, I started referring all "can I pick your brain" requests on LinkedIn and email to my Clarity account. And so some calls initiated that way. More reviews. Now, a year later, I have done over 200 calls, with the majority of it inbound from Clarity. Take it from me, if you make the time, and provide genuine help to people, you will get rewarded for it. But like anything in life, if you're not willing to invest the time and resources, you're unlikely to see any return.TW

What is the best country to start an online marketing and design business in?
I have registered over 20 companies in the last decade and from my experience I can tell you that every country serves a different purpose. I run a small gambling company that I have registered in Malta due to the legality of online gambling there. I have another company registered in Delaware, whilst my main company is registered in the Netherlands. If your business is only online I would advise you to register it in Europe or if you must in the United States in Delaware/Nevada. Credibility wise I would say that registering your company in Singapore or Malta or Costa Rica, will not benefit you much opposed to say Delaware or The Netherlands. I am available for a call if you need anymore help. I am currently doing a promotion for a one time free 15 minute phone call so just send me a message for the discount code.GS

How can I effectively market my online business to baby boomers / senior citizens?
You have a lot of options to market to boomers and seniors. That age group is facebook's fastest growing segment. Build ads that target that age group and think about having a facebook page to supplement your efforts there. Older people search just like the rest of us as well, so build an adwords campaign around keywords that might align with your product. Contact me if you'd like to chat about some options or need some help building your campaigns. Good luck!JR
