Your website's press section

- [Instructor] If a musician, artist or band has a press section on their site at all, you'd think it's just for a list of press releases. But it's not called a press release section because it can be so much more than that. A well crafted press section can help you get press coverage and gigs, if you provide anything about your band that you think a journalist or promoter might need. Here are some of the essential items that every website press section should have. Yes, print is dying, but it's still with us, and can have a huge impact. You never know when you or your product will get a mention in a newspaper, magazine or book. A picture says a thousand words, and you'd rather someone use one of yours on their blog or website, than just supplying a link. Make it easy for them, but give them a variety to choose from. It's surprising how often logo graphics are overlooked. But they're just as important as your photos, and other graphics. Maybe you have an About Us or About Me section…
