1. How many news outlets will MEGAFLUENCE MEDIA guarantee placement?

At least 400 and most likely more. As many as 500 news sites could run your press release depending on many variables outside our control. Newsworthy announcements are the most appropriate as each outlet has a choice of what PR they choose to publish.

2. How long does it take to see the results once my media release is submitted?

Within 24 hours many press releases are already in place, but it takes at least 72 hours/3 days to see the full results. Once a site goes “live” we provide a link for proof of publication.

3. How do I know which sites have accepted my media release?

Megafluence Media provides you with a Press Release Report that shows every single media outlet or publication source and a live link is provided for each one. You will actually be able to click on the links and see your press release on the various sites.

4. Are there any additional charges beyond the $497 submission fee?

The only possible extra charge would be copywriting assistance, but MEGAFLUENCE MEDIA does not write media releases - we distribute them. If you need help writing your release, let us know and we can recommend outside consultants to help you.

5. What items and links can be in my release?

You can add a logo, photo or video (or all three), and up to 5 web links, including a Google Maps link (optional).

6. How long should the media release be?

We cannot accept press releases longer than 500 words, not including the headlines or summary.

YES! Getting your press release on hundreds of major news sites is a fantastic way to boost the reputation of your company or products. Google and other search engines give news a high priority and you will see your press release showing up in searches for your company. This means people will find not only your websites, but your most recent announcements!

Every media release remains hosted for at least 6 months. Most will be hosted for a year or more. Some remain indefinitely

Technically not, but each press release must be original content (not copied and pasted from the Internet) and it should be significantly different from your last press release.

11. If I submit for my clients, who receives the Media Release Report?

The individual who submits the media release receives the report.

12. If I charge my client for a media release, is there a limit to what I can charge them?

We are a vendor to your company in this regard. We have no control over what you charge your customers, but standard industry rates are anywhere from $500 to $1,000 or more, depending on the media release distribution company involved.

13. How many media releases should a company send out per year?

Most companies should strive to send out several (3-4) per year but many companies send out far more than that. Press releases are newsworthy announcements, not book reports on your every day products and services. Use discretion, but if your company is rocking the news, you have every right to put the word out there. Many companies use press releases for product launches, promotional announcements, when key people are hired, acquisitions and more.

PR firms can also use MEGAFLUENCE MEDIA to handle mass media release distribution as well.

16. Is there anything I cannot put in a media release?

Yes. For a complete list of what is prohibited, see the PROHIBITED PRESS RELEASE CONTENT page.

17. Can I get a refund at any point?

Once the media release has been approved and submitted for distribution, refunds are not possible as there is no way to stop it.

18. What is considered a “newsworthy” Media Release?

A media release is an announcement of an important event in your business that will be occurring shortly or has already occurred in the recent past. Timeliness, relevance, and important events to your readers make for newsworthy PR.

19. Any other tips or advice?

Write the kind of press release your intended audience would want to read. Pay close attention to the headlines. Avoid industry jargon, abbreviations, slang or heavy promotional writing. Write from the 3rd person (not I, we, me, us), but as if it was written about you by a journalist. Check your PR for typos thoroughly and check all links before it is submitted as once published, it cannot be removed or edited. Above all, be accurate and never use your PR to damage others.

20. What are some good reasons to put out a press release?
