How to Make Money Submitting FREE Press Releases!
This report is being offered as information only. There is no

1 If you follow my suggestions in this report then you should start
making money from press releases in just a few days.
I'm going to concentrate on using just one press release site – that
website is Pressbox. In my opinion it's one of the very best sites
for submitting free press releases.
Here's the URL:
http://www.pressbox.co.uk
The really good thing about Pressbox is that unlike some press
release sites e.g. prweb.com (which is the largest press release
website on the internet) it's very easy to get a press release
approved - I've never had one rejected yet! They aren't fussy
about word counts or whether your press release sounds too much
like an advertisement. They allow links and you can submit a
small logo – all for free!
2Your press releases will usually appear in Google and Yahoo in
about 72 hours, but sometimes they can take a little longer.
How to Make Money Using Pressbox
There are many ways of making money using Pressbox. You
could use press releases for acquiring leads, promoting affiliate
products, selling your own products, sending visitors to a page
with Adsense ads on etc.
I'm going to show you how I make money promoting affiliate
products using Pressbox and Clickbank.
3Finding an Affiliate Product to Promote
Go to the Clickbank home page. Sign up if you aren't already an
affiliate, then click on the “Promote Products” tab at the top
then click on the “Marketplace” link.
Now in Search the Clickbank Marketplace go to Sort by and
pick “High Gravity” and then choose a Category.
I've chosen “Health & Fitness”.
Press “Go”!
4You'll get a long list of products you can promote but you really
only want to consider the ones that have a gravity (grav) of at least
20.
I'll use “Stop Sweating and Start Living” which is an e-book on
how to stop excessive sweating. This product has a gravity of
25.63.
Click on “create hoplink” and enter your Clickbank ID to create
your affiliate link. Keep a note of it!
To view the product sales page click “view pitch page”.
5Choosing a Key Phrase
Now you need to choose a key phrase which will be the
headline/title of your press release.
A good keyword suggestion tool can be found here:

In this example the product is an e-book called “Stop Sweating
and Start Living”. I often use the name of the product as the
title/headline of my press releases.
So lets see how many searches there are for the key phrase “stop
sweating start living”. As you can see there aren't that many
searches a day but it's very targeted! It's a good idea to write 2 or 3
press releases promoting the same product each using a different
key phrase as the title. Make sure you don't submit identical press
releases though!
6Writing Your Press Release
For the press release text I usually write 3 or 4 paragraphs. I visit
the product sales page and basically write a short review of the
product.
Pressbox allow anchor text. You can make your key phrase into
anchor text using this code:
<a href="http://www.yourwebsite.com" title="your key phrase
here">your key phrase here</a>
Submitting Your Press Release
In order to submit your free press release you need to go to the
“Add a Press Release” page:
http://www.pressbox.co.uk/cgi-bin/links/add.cgi
Enter your contact name and e-mail address. I only enter my
name and e-mail. That's all that's needed but you can enter more
7information if you want to.
Now enter your Site URL (if you have a website) or if
you don't have a website, enter your affiliate link in the ”Site
URL” field.
8Enter your Headline next. Make sure that you use your key phrase
as the headline. This is very important!
Next choose a Category for your press release. You can only
submit to one category so find one that's appropriate.
Finally, enter your Press Release Text. If you have a logo you can
submit one.
9Make sure that your press release doesn't contain any grammatical
and spelling mistakes. Once you've done that, enter the letters that
you see and click “Submit Press Release”.
That's it! Now you just have to wait for Pressbox to send you an email
informing you that your press release has been approved.
They usually approve them within 48 hours.
Pressbox doesn't put a limit on how many press releases you can
submit so you can write as many as you like!
To sum up...

Choose a targeted key phrase for your press release title
Write your press release
Submit your press release here
Repeat!
10 I'm currently #9 in Yahoo for the key phrase “stop sweating and
start living”
The more press releases you submit the more you'll earn so get
writing and start making money!
