How to write a successful Kickstarter or Indiegogo Press Release?
Press Release Distribution Services are BAD and you really don’t need to use them if earned media is your goal.
I saw people paying more than 500$ for PR and they get back same service as you could find on Fiverr for less than 30$.
Most services upload your release on B-list websites that nobody will see, wasting your time and money.
But, even if you will find the most trustable service:
- There is NO SEO value.
- ROI is incredibly difficult to find with a distribution service.
- Most press releases sent via a newswire should have been a blog.
- Results come from relevance and media relations.
- Mass sending never works and it’s never a numbers game.
Never start a crowdfunding without having a good audience and don’t waste money with those who promise to get results in 10 days; this never ever works.
Crowdfunding has to be planned at least 6 month before and never start it without a good audience.
Once understand this simple point you should move to the next questions that is how to create my community.
You could run some good hacks for that, like:
- Use social automation-bots
- Reply to journalists questions and ask them to share your project
- Referral Campaigns
- Post Viral Contents
- Newsrooms instead of Press Release Distribution
