How To Add “Press Releases”

This page allows you to submit press releases for syndication. It is essential that your content remains focused on your product or service and does not serve as negative publicity against competitors. To maintain the integrity of our platform, we only publish positive and promotional content.

2. Subscription Requirements

a. Subscription and Seed Credits

• To submit a press release, you must purchase seed credits, with each credit corresponding to syndication on one website.
• Seed credits are available in various denominations. You may view available packages under the Subscription Forms menu.
• Once you have an active subscription, you may proceed with submitting your press release.

3. Press Release Submission Requirements

When submitting a press release, you must ensure all required fields are completed. Required fields are marked in red boxes on the Press Releases page.

a. Mandatory Fields

3. Press Release File – Upload the press release in Microsoft Word or PDF format. The content must be in plain text, without embedded images.

   • Attach relevant images to accompany the article.
   • We recommend using multiple images in 1920×1080 pixels (landscape orientation) to provide cover photo options.

2. Alternative Titles – You may provide up to ten (10) alternative titles for your press release. If no alternatives are provided, we will use the main title you submitted.

6. Publishing Process

Once we receive your content, we will proceed as follows:

1. Content Screening –
   • All submissions will be reviewed for compliance with Google and Facebook Content and Community Standards.
   • We reserve the right to reject content that is defamatory, libelous, misleading, illegal, or violates platform policies.
   • Additional reasons for rejection include content that promotes hate speech, violence, explicit material, or unverified claims.
2. Unaltered Publishing –
   • Approved content will be published as submitted.
   • The content will be uploaded directly to the portals deemed appropriate within our network.
3. Publishing Schedule –
   • The press release will be published on the chosen date during working hours.
4. Reporting Process –
   • Stage 1: Link Reporting – Within 24 hours of publishing, a report will be provided listing all syndication links. The status will update from NEW to PUBLISHED (Link Report Ongoing).
   • Stage 2: Media Value Reporting – Once the media valuation report is completed, the status will update to PUBLISHED (Media Value Report Ongoing). This process may take up to seven (7) working days, as media valuation is conducted by our external partners.
   • Once both reports are finalized, the status will change to PUBLISHED (Completed).
