All of these points and more can lead to bigger, better audience participation.  Remember though, after the press release is ‘news’ you still have to spread it around in any way possible. Not just once, but many times over several weeks.
 
After about three to four weeks, the content can be rewritten and posted at other venues.  To keep the integrity and SEO intact though, wait as long as possible; rewrite with a new headline and subtitles.

Unlike a guest post at another blog, the press release is a ‘third party’ introduction to, or announcement of, something to do with your business.  Whether it is a review or simply a job position promotion, it is always a good thing to “make the news.”
