Your release is simply parked at their website. If you're blogging, and you should be, write about the event at your blog, and link to the release. The blog will pull in traffic.

I would be able to build a big list. But if people have to opt in, they'd be less likely to get their hands on the book. And my readers would be less likely to share the book with their friends and followers. In other words, it wouldn't look like a "gift." But here's the real reason: That book generates a lot of income because there are links to my sales pages within the blurbs, as well as links to products and services that I sell for a commission. For that reason, I'd rather have that book in as many hands as possible. There are also numerous opportunities for readers to opt into my ezine and get onto my list. Other Internet marketers wouldn't do it this way, but it works well for me. You are correct. I would be able to build a big list.

Any reason you don't require people to opt in to a mailing list in order to download the book? You could likely build a great mailing list that way.

Have I missed your Tuesday deadline?! Noel Lyons Hi Joan,

I’ve written a press release for a virtual event I’m runnning starting Monday 08 Feb:

The thing is I’ve been told free press release sites are worth submitting to, so apart from pinging this release, it’s just sitting on my website.

Have I missed your Tuesday deadline?!
