A Press Release Post is a plain, clearly labeled post of your company's own press release in the TDmonthly press section. We publish it as received, edited only for length, formatting and our house rules. It isn't a review, and TDmonthly adds no opinion.
What you get for $79
- Your release, posted in the TDmonthly press section with a "Press Release" tag.
- Up to 500 words of release (headline, optional subhead, dateline and body), plus an "About" paragraph of up to 80 words and your media contact.
- 1 image you own or have rights to.
- Up to 3 links to your website, product page or retailers.
- One correction round for facts or typos after it's posted, and the live link emailed to you.
Every post carries a disclosure box saying the content was supplied by your company, that TDmonthly hasn't reviewed, tested or verified it, and that your company paid a fee for the posting.
What's not included
- No editing for persuasion, no rewriting and no TDmonthly opinion.
- No featured placement, homepage or newsletter mention. (Those come with our $145 Featured press release.)
- No social posts, video or Short.
- No guaranteed views, traffic or pickup.
