If a company is marketing to translators, interpreters, or LSPs, how can it get the word out effectively? Here are a few good places to submit press releases so that they appear for free in some of the best translation news sources:
- MultiLingual News (bimonthly) - complete the submission form
- Global Intelligence Newsletter by CSN (bimonthly) - email a summary and link to news@clientsidenews.com
- inttranews (daily) - email a summary and link to webmaster@inttranews.net
- LISA members can post press releases on the LISA website for free through this submission form, and non-members can do the same for 20 euros
- Translations News (almost daily) - send link through the contact page
You can also post links to the press releases on social networking sites too:
- Translation Groups on LinkedIn - be sure to share press releases as "news" items, not discussions, unless you really are asking a question to start discussion
- Translation Groups on Facebook - links can be shared in wall posts or discussions
- Translation Groups on Twitter - you can "tweet" a shortened press release URL, just as you might share the link in your status on LinkedIn or Facebook. However, if you don't already have a huge following, you might consider joining a "twibe" (Twitter group) like the Translation twibe. This is still gaining momentum - the Translation twibe has only 83 members.
You can also submit your press release to bloggers and commentators who will not repost the release, but may comment on the announcement and link to it.
- Global Watchtower by Common Sense Advisory - send link through the contact page
- T&I Business - email tandibusiness@gmail.com
Other potential outlets for publicizing translation press releases seem to have died out. For example, Elect Online seems to have fizzled long ago.
Am I missing something? Please let me know in the comments below if you read or submit press releases to similar translation industry publications.
