One of the best online marketing techniques is to use online press releases. A press release is a document that is written or recorded about a company, product, or service and then released to the media and general public. When you write a good press release, news reporters will call you and do a story about your company. A poorly written press release may not even be picked up by the news media and no one will hear the information you are trying to get out to the public.

Online press releases are similar to a traditional press release, but you will release them on your web site.
