Writing Effective Press Releases Yield Incredible Return on Investment (ROI)




Over the years I have written a ton of press releases and without fail, they always get the attention of the target market my client is after. For example, if I write a press releases on securing funds for a nonprofit organization, I target 501 (c)(3) organizations and corporations because they can both receive tax exempt funding.

Press releases reach beyond the local community and flow like the air that moves the clouds in the sky. I have written press releases for clients in China, Dubai, Australia, Canada, and the United States. Typically what clients want is a clear and focused message that garner the attention of readers, drive traffic to their website and provide a number to call for more information and or for their services and or products.

Mind you I have also had some rather interesting request for interviews, for example one client wanted a press release for more mature audiences, I had to decline the inquiry because it conflicts with my business ethics. Don't get me wrong, the clients request was all business, however one must make the best business judgment with the longevity of their business in mind.

I highly recommend people write press releases because the media reads them, interviews can be generated from them and product sells and launches can move a business from zero to not being able to handle the demand for a given product.

Something to keep in mind is with the bad economy, press releases help you satnd out in a crowd. What do I mean by this? Great question and I'm glad you asked.

For some strange reason some businesses cut back on marketing and promoting their business, this results in fewer leads and less profit. What should be happening now during the recycling of the economy is for companies to ramp up their marketing starting with you guessed it, press releases.

What is phenomenal about press releases nowadays is that a business can have press releases written and generate business around the world. What's even cooler than this is, a press release can be attached to a social networking site, this is marketing for pennies on the dollar.

Call upon a reputable company to write your press releases for you, it will pay dividends in the long run. Positively impacting your bottom line is what an effective press release will do for you and your business.

Call on Professional Grant Experts To Write Your Grants


It goes without saying that if you want to affect positive chage, you must be the change you hope to see. I totally agree when it comes to grants, its important to reflect the passion required to make a difference in your community.

The greatest challenge people face today when it comes to starting a nonprofit organization is they give up too soon. In other words, they attempt the process one time, then they stop. The journey one takes to establish and lead a nonprofit is a process of perseverance, in other words when the going seems a bit tough, crank it up another notch.

When it comes to the grant process, paperwork is a major issue for some, not for me because I approach it as an opportunity to learn something I didn't know before. Whether its filling out the initial paperwork to establish your corporation, employer identification number or the Form 1023 to apply for tax exempt status, its all part of the process and in life its all process.

If you feel overwhelmed by burdensome grant paperwork, call on a professional to assist you in realizing your dreams of being the change your community wishes to see. Contact me at (240) 416-5077 or paul@vannfoundation.org we're ready, willing and able to help you establisn your nonprofit, conduct grant research, write grants and review grants on short notice or as part of your strategic plan.

Getting Grant Money To Realize your Dreams Tele-Seminar

Make no mistake about it, the economy is tough right now. While watching The Oprah Winfrey Show, Oprah and Suze Orman were talking and Oprah stated, "Today's economy is a wakeup call for America and the rest of the world."

I couldn't agree with Oprah more, in fact now is the perfect time to identify obvious problems in communities and find solutions for them. Starting a nonprofit organization is the way to go because every community in America is experiencing uncommon times.

The government can't solve all the problems, thats where you come in with your 501(c)(3)nonprofit to find solutions to problems such as hunger, homelessness, affordable health care and housing.

On June 15, 7:00-8:30pm, ET, The Wealth Building Academy under the leadership of Paul Lawrence Vann is hosting ,"Getting Grant Money to Realize Your Dreams" teleseminar.

Now Is A Great Time To Start A Nonprofit



It was not that long ago when I decided to be of greater service to my community. After completing a 12-city speaking tour, I noticed the dedication of a nonprofit organization in my community and knew I wanted to make a difference in the lives of others, thus evoloved The Paul Lawrence Vann Foundation.

Fast forward to 2008 and 2009, the American economy is in the tank. Now more than ever, nonprofits are needed to help in communities throughout the U.S. because the needs are great.

With over 306 million peole living in America, I believe she will make a positive turnaround, however it will come on the backs of the hard working men and women. As a result of job losses, record home mortgage foreclosures, and tight lending market, the U.S. government cannot do it all by themselves.

As you lead your nonprofit organization, keep in mind the challenges are great. For example the following areas need nonprofit assistance:

1. The need for food is great because of job losses and no income.

2. Affordable housing whcih is being compounded by record mortgage foreclosures.

3. Medical care cost are skyrocketing and is recorded as one of the primary reasons for mortgage defaults because of excessive medical bills.

4. Senior programs are needed because baby boomers are retiring in record numbers.

5. Women programs required to train more women to become entrepreneurs.

6. Education is one of the top professions because of technology requirements and retraining.

7. Job creation programs will be in more demand because of the need for skilled employees.


If there was ever a time to be of service, the time is now. Remember the government can't do it all by themselves, nonprofits in collaboration with government and private industry will be the difference maker. The question is, are you ready to strengthen your community and realize your dreams?

If you are, I encourage you to contact the Wealth Building Academy to receive one-on-one grant coaching, attend one of our grant training programs and or purchase our home study program.
