“Press About” offers free press release publishing service.

While looking for some inexpensive ways to promote Coaching News & Events, we found a blog called Press About.

In the familiar format of a Wordpress blog, Press About lets you write a press release about your product or business. They have editors that review the releases for spam and other naughty stuff. Assuming you pass muster, your release appears on their blog.

Here’s the news release about Coaching News & Events as it appears on their blog.

Although we would not compare this service to other, paid services like PRWire, your story does get indexed on the web and in blog directories. For coaches who are starting out and have a limited marketing budget, this is a worthwhile investment of your time. While you are writing a release for Press About, be sure to send us a copy, too. We are eager to publish news about coaching and new coaching businesses.

Who knows? Maybe the next person who reads it will become your next coaching client!
