Hi all,

I am looking at launching a new business. I have two professionals who are ready to go and one who is thinking about it. The two that are already in are pre law students, one has completed a major in general studies and is now in pre-law, the other is in year 3 of paralegal.

The third who is thinking about it is a journalism major in his 3rd year. We have quite a bit if experience in writing and marketing between the 4 of us and want to see if it would work.

We are looking at charging from $30.00 to $150.00 depending on the project size and complexity of the content required.

If we provided a portfolio of our work and were able to beat the prices found on the web while making sure that time goals are always met, would this be something that you would pay for?

One of the writers, is looking at making a career of this so she will be working extra hard to make sure her portfolio is solid. I firmly believe the quality of the work will be top notch.

Well, thoughts?

Well, I'm not sure if making press releases is such a big task. Maybe 'coz I'm small and can manage with my own words. Nevertheless, its a good idea. But these are fields where you need experience to prove your worth. I'm not sure if I'd pay, say $100 to a fresh business. Start with humble charges and as you go ahead people will be coming to you to get their pr done.

Well if the cost did get $80.00 or so, we would begin adding submission benefits as well.

Well, if you want a sample, we have a PR in PRWeb that made it into emedia on the first page.

We paid only $32.00 and were able to get above the rest in our pay category. We got on the first page of http://www.emediawire.com/ you can see the release about half way down.

Nevada Conservatives Frustrated with Republican “Leadership”

You can see how we designed it to grab eyes and attract attention. The PR has only been live for 6 or so hours and we have already received a call from a reporter of a political magazine.

Go to Yahoo or Google news and type in NICPAC. Not bad for $32.00 eh?

It's all in how it is presented, and I think my crew know how to present it.

I think Im going to get started in this business next week.
