I mostly wanted to learn how to write a press release, and that section was WAY too rushed.

The course was amazing and very informative. Thank you so much for providing this detailed course with practicle examples.
By Suvajit Guha on 2/7/2024
Fantastic learning experience. I got a hands-on experience on how to write and promote a press release, how to grab a journalist's attention, how to add relevant keywords, and most importantly how to offer real value through the content. Keep up the great work, Alex!
By Juan Plamen on 1/17/2023
Great course, just goes directly to what you're interested int and explains also some other cool and great benefits on using press releases. Me, as a professional and buying a few of his courses, i recommend this course.
By Daquan Hall on 4/8/2022
Great course, very practical, not a lot of theory just straight to the point for people like me who don't have time for a long course.
By Alexandra Bohannon on 3/31/2022
The instructor's examples didn't seem to read/sound like most press releases I've read -- which doesn't help me learn the why behind what we're doing or not doing. Troubling that we didn't go over the 5W and the H or even AP style for a press release class. Also, the topic selection (his course licensure) felt a bit transparent, even though he suggested we weren't the target audience for such an offering.
By Genesis Ortega on 12/28/2021
It was a good course. Definitely very thorough. Would like to see more examples and exercises in creative press release writing but overall good content.
By Veronica Seymour on 4/16/2021

By Stoyan Vlahovski on 9/4/2020
I thought Press Releases are a bit outdated but this course totally changed my mind. Fantastic and clear explanation of how to leverage PR. I'm excited to implement the lessons learned.
