New York, NY (1888PressRelease)
April 03, 2009 - Melissa’s Coaching Studio today announced the publication of its first eBook, The Top 25 Online Press Distribution Sites for Authors and Publishers by Melissa A. Rosati, founder and creative director.
In addition to site links and submission information, the eBook contains worksheets to help authors and small publishers achieve their publicity goals. The eBook is suited for authors and small publishers who are over 35 years-old. “We are the Internet Immigrants,” Rosati says. “Learning how to use technology applications is like learning a second language. The eBook’s purpose is to make press release distribution sites accessible to this audience.”
Press release distribution sites are news aggregators. Each site acts as a filter for the media. Aggregator sites are powerful vehicles for an author or publisher with a newsworthy story or event. Thousands of journalists, wire services, news agencies and bloggers subscribe to them.
“Writers write. At the same time, marketing is an important job function that every writer needs in order to be successful in today’s market,” Rosati states. Becoming savvy with social media tools is a growing trend among mature writers. According to the Social Media Marketing Industry Report (March 2009), people aged 60 to 69 were significantly more likely to be just getting started with social media marketing than other age groups.
As authors increasingly use the Internet to promote their books, Rosati plans for more marketing-related eBooks to satisfy their need for high-quality, credible content that makes book promotion straightforward, easy, and results oriented.
