A business opportunity that is genuinely different

Welcome to a business opportunity that is genuinely different. PR for small businesses is a lucrative niche market. It's an ideal opportunity for writers - aspiring or established - to create a substantial new income, full or part-time.

You can discover the "magic of the media" by writing newsworthy stories about companies and business people - for press releases issued to newspapers, magazines, TV and r
adio. And you can multiply your earnings with spin-off services such as newsletters, sales letters, advertising features etc.

It's a vast "hidden" market right on your doorstep! For every larger company with its own in-house PR department or retained agency, there are thousands of smaller businesses which require the occasional services of a freelance writer - like you.

This is an essentially flexible opportunity, with a nice mix of working by yourself and meeting dynamic small business owners.

With our New Dimension PR Service, you take a comprehensive home study course that teaches you all aspects of writing for this specialist market. Then, at no extra charge, you enjoy the huge bonus of a further year's back-up support from us as you launch yourself as a PR writer and start earning.

We have run our PR agency for over 20 years and our PR home study course for nearly 15. We are one of the UK's most successful agencies in our sector and have used this experience to help numerous writers, including many absolute beginners, to gain fast-track entry into the exciting and profitable world of PR. This is your opportunity to join them!

An exciting, profitable niche market

PR for small businesses - writing press releases for newspapers, magazines, TV and radio, plus spin-off writing services - is an exciting niche market. It is very accessible, rapidly expanding and highly profitable.

The New Dimension PR Service shows you how to write for this market, how to win your work and how to submit your press releases for best results.

A press release is simply a short story - usually no more than around 450 words - that is submitted to the press and media for use as news.

Most small to medium size businesses only require occasional PR services - but collectively these companies add up to a huge "hidden" market for freelance writers.

With PR you are paid by the companies seeking the publicity, not by the publishers and broadcasters.

Make good money quickly, easily and enjoyably!

It's a win-win situation! Your clients are happy because the media use their stories as news (carrying more weight than conventional advertising)... the media are happy because they get their stories free... and you're very happy because you are making good money quickly, easily and enjoyably!

You can be earning £300 or more per press release - for just five or six hours' work - and be paid within weeks.

Once you have demonstrated your press release ability, your clients will refer you to others and come back to you for more of the same - plus occasionally other services such as newsletters, sales letters, advertising features. We show you how to make the most of these spin-off opportunities, too.

Rating Review:

Mike Truscott, the managing director of Westcountry PR Services Ltd, has run his PR business opportunity for nearly 15 years. It would be difficult to find anyone more highly-qualified to write and run such a course: he has had nearly 40 years' experience as a professional writer.

He worked for local, national and international newspapers, magazines, TV and radio and this experience opened his eyes to the untapped potential of offering press release and other public relations services to small businesses. So he set up his own PR agency to do just that, and he also teaches other people looking for a business opportunity to do the same.

Mike has been selected by the Devon and Cornwall Training and Enterprise Council to represent PR at marketing workshops for small businesses, and his PR services have also been used entensively by the Careers Services of Devon and Cornwall.

If you visit the website of his PR agency at www.wprs.co.uk you can read testimonials from his clients and on the page headed "Services" you can read about why a successful Press Release is worth its weight in gold.

The reason why successful press releases are so valuable is because the public regard positive editorial in a newspaper etc. as meaning that a company has special merit, so it's seen as valuable independent endorsement of a company.

Add this to the fact that the company does not have to pay for advertising - they only have to pay for your services - and you can see that it would not be difficult to sell your services.

Most press releases don't stand any chance of being accepted for publication by newspapers etc - 95% of them are rejected. With his years of experience working for newspapers and himself making the decisions about which press releases to accept, coupled with his 24 years' experience of running his own PR agency, Mike's course reveals the secrets of how to write press releases with the best chance of acceptance.

The course consists of a comprehensive 11,000-word introductory manual plus eight tutorials. You take the course at your own pace.

A unique benefit of this course is that you get one-on-one expert tuition. Not only does each tutorial come with a written assignment, but this assignment is personally assessed by Mike himself.

When you've progressed through the tutorials, you can become an associate of Westcountry PR Services for a year at no extra charge. This brings you ongoing benefits such as the 10,000-word Associate's Manual, which tells you how to get clients, how to run your business in a simple, low-cost fashion, and Mike's Top 20 list of the best story lines. You also receive the rights to reproduce Mike's own very successful sales letter and you get his help with your own first press release. Visit the "Your Support" page on his website at www.newpr.co.uk to see the full list of benefits for Associates.

So do you have what it takes to become a PR agent for small businesses? You don't need to be a budding writer, nor do you need to have any qualifications or previous experience as a writer. But you do need to have a good, basic command of English. You also need to be interested in meeting small business owners.

This is a flexible business which can be operated full-time or part-time. It could be organised around domestic and other commitments, because it has a nice mix of working by yourself and going out to meet small business owners. Consequently, for example, it could be ideally suited to mothers whose children are in a creche or at school for part of the day.

If you're looking for a serious home business and you're prepared to put in the commitment required to be successful, then have a good look at New Dimension PR.

I reviewed the original version of this opportunity in The BOARD magazine - the hard copy predecessor of Business Opportunity Watch - in January 2003 and rated it 9 out of 10. BOW is pleased to give it the same rating again, over 5 years later.

You might think that an opportunity like this would be very expensive - but it costs just £295.

You can't lose because you can get your money back if you don't earn at least double that amount within three months of launching your business.
