You can't just make an announcement saying "here's the deal..." ??? you have to crack open Press Releases for Dummies and write a press release about yourself as if you are just about to launch a new drug to cure cancer and are seeking investors or as if General Electric just hired a new CEO?

And please... for the love of God... if you feel compelled to write a standard "press release" as if it really matters in this business... don't talk about yourself in the 3rd person. that only makes it worse. its fake and its condescending. Besides... why the fuck do people in this industry hire people... then make them write press releases about themselves and post them on every forum in the first place?

The only thing that is worse than all the fake press releases is watching 50 useless, sycophant, ass kissing jackoffs congratulate you.

Companies in this industry have a short lifespan... employees have an even shorter lifespan. In 90% of cases, congratulating someone for getting a job in this biz is like congratulating a whore for sucking a cock in a different part of town. not really much point to it... besides, we all know how it will end "i've decided to move on, our parting was amicable, they are a great bunch of guys, i wish them nothing but the best... and i've got some really great things cooking that i'm really excited about, so stay tuned!!..." YAAAWWWWWN!

That is so true and too funny

Hmmmm. virtual sperm!! LMAO!

I think I've posted a handful of press releases here. I'm not even up to the point where I can include a URL in the post.

It really is a matter of hitting the right target. We send regularly to AVN, Ynot, Xbiz, etc, and there are many news sites that use press releases for affiliate links.

But Sherry and I are treading carefully into new territory here with Midnite. It's pretty obvious GFY isn't about press releases and news.

Pleasurepays is spot on about something. I quote Tory from Midnite, and I'm now allowed to quote Sal Senior, and of course, there's Midnite Sally.

Unlike certain publicists, we don't quote ourselves in a press release, unless there is a very specific issue regarding publicity to adress "We really like working with TalkingSexRadio.com, they are a lot of fun".

Quoting yourself in a press release is redundant. The press release is a quote from the person writing the release.

One final irony, hardcore mainstream writers we know don't always need a press release. Just a simple few sentances in the right direction will do. These guys want to get the story for themselves, not be a mouthpiece for a publicist.

This thread should be linked to in all future "press release" threads posted here on GFY. Particularly post #7.

SPoken like a tru hero! :1orglaugh

I don't think PR's are fake and condescending, just another way to get publicity on top of the "hey bro, we did this and that" type of publicity. It's the format that our industry publications - like most - accept, fine with me.
