FREE PRESS RELEASE DISTRIBUTION SITES WORLDWIDE

Take advantage of the opportunity with this list of free press release websites and distribution services at least once a month on the internet.  Some might view a press release as "marketing" while others view it as "education" or "information".  Regardless, if you do something worth shouting about in your business, then do so!  Press releases keep the world informed and possibly...improve the chances of getting found.

Is there a benefit to paying for a press release vs. using the free services?  Depends on your pocket book and the topic, your competition, the time of year, your reputation, and the list goes on.  Opinions are on both sides of the fence.  In the end, a press release is only one of dozens of activitities you will include on your marketing calendar.

Should you do a bulk press release to all with a paid distribution service?  Your strategy must represent your business and vision.  Question:  What is the point in doing so? If you had a specific press release for each venue with a specific landing page for each, wouldn't you have better opportunity to test for results?

Before you begin to use the list of free press release websites, think twice before using a website labeled 'free press release'. The message you send may be quite the opposite of what you intend. 

The list below has shrunk a bit over the years as many have gone out of business or been acquired by another. Here is a list of free press release websites in alphabetical order.

Press release terms have you boggled?  Need more help?  Here are a few sites beyond the obvious to help you learn more (or services to hire).  In no way am I advocating hiring someone to do press releases for you, but the rule remains for an entrepreneur:  Learn to do it or hire someone to do it for you.

Press Release for Donation Campaign

                              INDEFINITE JAIL SENTENCE FOR POLITICAL REASONS

                                                Robert Easson is compelled to launch online “GoFundMe” campaign

Robert Easson with his wife Cindy,kids Mickey and Elly

Myanmar, Burma---Robert Easson and his family have launched “GoFundMe” campaign to raise funds to avoid being imprisoned indefinitely Myanmar for trying to help educate and upskill young people.

This campaign commenced on February 23^rd, 2020 and has so far attracted 13 donors. The family is hoping to raise US$180,000 (AU$280,000 / £145,000) which will allow them to settle claims and actions instigated by the labour office and remove the block on Robert leaving the country.

When reforms were announced in the Myanmar insurance sector, Robert and his family took the fateful decision to move to Myanmar to fulfil a dream of helping  to educate young people in Burma about the ethics and professionalism in this industry.

In order to upskill and teach young Myanmar who are beginning their careers professionalism, integrity and trust in this recently liberalized sector, Robert was encouraged to established an insurance institute, which was then subsequently blocked by a powerful group of cronie connected individuals purely due to jealousy and for political reasons.

Robert and his wife Cindy invested their life savings and borrowed heavily to fulfil this dream of educating Myanmar people and building capacity, but have now been forced to take their 2 children (Mickey (6) and Elly (3) out of school. There are unfortunately no free schools for expatriates in Burma.

Robert is more worried about his wife and kids as they are obviously not Myanmar Citizens. Cindy will be left with no ability to look after herself and the children if Robert is successfully prosecuted by people who are politically motivated to destroy his good reputation.  These people are well aware that Robert does not have the funds to hire lawyers to defend himself in court and so will lose the case.  Even though this is a civil matter, there are no debtors jails in Myanmar, so he will be incarcerated indefinitely in the country’s notorious and overcrowded maximum security Insein jail a long with drug dealers, murders and rapists.

“These powerful people and the labour office have prevented me from getting any kind of employment since February 2019 and with no support of any kind, my funds are exhausted and we are now destitute”, says Robert Easson. “My family has suffered immensely I need to settle all these outstanding issues so we can leave this country and rebuild our lives. Please help us to get the funds together so that we can pay these debts and return home. Cindy and I will be so grateful for your help and we will repay your kindness by pledging to remember you all in our nightly prayers as well as one day paying the kindness you have shown us forward.”

About:

Robert Easson is half British half Myanmar (Burma). He was born in Rangoon and moved to Britain when he was 9 years old. He returned permanently to Burma in September 2016 to educate young Myanmar people on how to sell insurance ethically and to ensure that they got all the tools they needed to succeed in this brand new industry.He started an institute which has now been forced to close down and his family is suffering because Robert has been prevented from finding employment by very powerful cronie connected individuals. Their only option has been to start this campaign which if successful, will allow them to return home.
