Default How do you write for press releases?

One thing I have struggled with is figuring out press releases. Is this the same as an article directory like ezinearticles.com? If someone could explain this to me, and also some good press release websites that I can post on, I would appreciate it.

doogers - Writing press releases is much different from writing an article. A press release must not only be informational, but newsworthy.

I'm sure there is a ton of info on the 'Net if you search for how to write a press release. One place to start is with the help info available at PRWeb.com.

Good Luck with it!

Just to back up what KSA said, news releases have to be newsworthy. Simply having a home for sale or something like that will not cut it. Or something like "we got a new broker." Major changes to real estate law or practice in a certain state would work nicely or a real milestone that the whole industry would like to know about is also good. Spend some time at PRWeb.com and see what is considered "newsworthy."
