5 Reasons Why Press Release Distribution is a Scam
Show Notes

Press release distribution services are tools that allow you to send press releases to a large, targeted audience of journalists, social networks, bloggers, influencers, and traditional or digital media outlets, either automatically or manually.

They will guarantee you coverage… and they’re not wrong. You will get coverage. But what they won’t tell you is that NO ONE WILL SEE IT. 

This is why.

1. The press release is copied and pasted. That’s it.

2. The only way to see it is to have a long, convoluted URL.

3. You don’t get any SEO love from the backlink.

4. No one looks at the wires.

5. You have to pay hundreds of dollars for it.
