Writing Press Release Courses on lynda.com
Santa Barbara, CA (PRWEB) May 14, 2014 -- Press releases are an essential part of effective public relations strategy, but they are not written for the press alone. In addition to supporting public relations, press releases are a critical component of social media marketing, content marketing and search marketing strategies. Press release writers need to know modern press release formatting and writing rules and have a distribution plan. There are two new video courses on writing press releases in the lynda.com video training library to help. Writing Press Releases is a 43-minute video training course that shows how to write an effective press release and get exposure in the news while connecting with prospective new clients. Top 5 Tips for Search-Friendly Press Releases is a short 10-minute course that gives simple, yet effective tips on writing search-friendly press releases.
The new press release courses in the lynda.com online learning library are taught by marketing expert Lorrie Thomas Ross. She shares strategies on how to craft a successful press release while walking you through the whole process of writing a press release – from picking a topic and writing the press release to distributing it to media outlets. The online writing course includes exercise files to help members work alongside the course as well as continue work on developing a press release. Thomas Ross also shares strategies on how to implement phrases within the press release to get better visibility in the search engines.
