Get featured on Affiliate Marketing Media Outlets in 48 hours

Yes, founders can absolutely handle their own PR, especially with the right tools. The most time-consuming part of DIY PR is building a media list and pitching journalists one by one, which has a very low success rate. A more effective DIY approach is using a self-serve distribution platform. You write the release yourself (or use our AI-powered editor to help), choose your distribution package, and submit it. The platform handles the syndication, guaranteeing you placements and delivering a report with live links. This combines the control of DIY with the reach of a professional service.

The cost varies widely based on the method you choose. Doing it yourself by manually pitching journalists is technically free but extremely time-consuming with low success rates. Hiring a traditional PR agency is the most expensive option, typically involving monthly retainers in the thousands of dollars with no guaranteed results. A middle ground is press release distribution services, which charge a one-time fee for guaranteed placements. This model is predictable and cost-effective for affiliate platforms needing to build credibility and SEO. Our packages are designed to provide this value without long-term commitments. You can see current pricing on our packages page.

With a distribution service, the process is very fast. After you submit your press release, it undergoes a brief editorial review to ensure it meets publisher guidelines. This review is typically completed within one business day. Once approved, publication to media outlets begins immediately. You can expect to see your announcement live on hundreds of sites, including outlets like AP News and Benzinga, within 24 to 48 hours. A full report with all live links is delivered within 3 business days.

Announcements with concrete, verifiable news perform best. For affiliate marketing, this includes launching a new, innovative tracking technology, securing a partnership with a well-known brand, reaching a significant user or revenue milestone (e.g., "10,000 active affiliates"), or publishing a data report on affiliate marketing trends. Purely promotional content like announcing a sale or a minor feature update is less effective. The key is to frame your news in a way that is interesting to a broader business audience, not just your existing users. Focus on growth, partnerships, and innovation.

Editors reject releases that read like advertisements or lack newsworthiness. To avoid this, write in a neutral, third-person tone. Use a standard press release format with a clear headline, a dateline, an introductory paragraph summarizing the news, and supporting details in the body. Most importantly, base your release on a real event: a launch, a partnership, a data report, or a milestone. Avoid hype words like "game-changing" or "revolutionary." Stick to facts and include a quote from a company leader. Our AI-powered editor helps you structure your release to meet these publisher guidelines.

Yes, but indirectly. A potential merchant or super-affiliate won't likely discover you from a single article. However, when they are evaluating your platform against competitors, they will search for your brand online. Discovering a history of press releases on credible sites like Business Insider or MarketWatch serves as powerful third-party validation. This coverage acts as social proof that de-risks the decision to partner with you. It shows you are an established, legitimate business, not a temporary operation. This trust is often the deciding factor in a competitive landscape like affiliate marketing.
