📖 The Hustle
Small businesses and startups need press releases but cannot afford PR agencies. Use ChatGPT to draft professional press releases following AP style, then add media angles and quotes. Charge $100-200 per release and offer distribution advice. AI handles the structure and language while you ensure newsworthiness.
🚀 First Step
Use ChatGPT to write a sample press release for a fictional product launch, format it in proper AP style, and add it to your Fiverr portfolio.
🔑 Keys to Success
- Study real press releases on PR Newswire and Business Wire to learn proper formatting
- Build relationships with 5 local journalists or bloggers to offer distribution as an upsell
- Create a checklist of common press release mistakes to review each AI draft against
