After what seemed like endless hours of research to organize, format and outline this list…only to find that once I was ready to post, another new service came to my attention…and, then another. Listed by Google PageRank.

Well, that’s it! It’s time to post this list. I know I’ll be adding and updating this list as we go on…so, I’d love your input, your recommendations, suggestions, etc.

My goal is to ultimately try every single one of these services, to give a full-review of the pros, cons, tips and tools for every single one of these services, starting with the free resources then gradually trying paid services one by one. As this is an ambitious and timely endeavor, I want You to actively comment below and share your experiences: good, bad and indifferent!

Ya never know, maybe W.E. (women entrepreneurs) will be able to score some free press releases from some of the paid services listed below…as my personal choice and still top-choice of PRWeb.com made for me and all my subscribers.

Haven’t cashed in on your free $200 top-of-the-line PRWeb.com press release, click here right now!
