Yes, many founders start with DIY PR. This can mean manually building lists of journalists and sending them personalized emails, which is very time-consuming and has a low success rate. It can also mean using tools to make the process more efficient. A press release distribution service is a form of 'do-it-yourself' PR. You retain control over the message and timing, writing the release yourself. You then use a platform like Mediaboost to handle the most difficult part: getting the news published on credible, high-authority websites.

The cost of PR varies dramatically. Trying to do it all yourself is 'free' in terms of money but costs a significant amount of your time and effort, with no guarantee of results. Hiring a traditional PR agency is the most expensive option, typically costing $5,000 to $15,000 per month on retainer, often with a 6-month minimum commitment. Press release distribution services offer a middle ground. You pay a one-time fee for a specific package of guaranteed media placements, avoiding retainers and long-term contracts. This is a fixed, predictable cost for a defined outcome. You can see our current one-time package pricing on our packages page.

The process is very fast once your press release is written and approved. After you submit your release through our platform, it undergoes a quick editorial review to ensure it meets publisher guidelines. Once approved, publication on our network of media outlets begins. You can expect to see your story live on 350+ sites like MarketWatch and Benzinga within 24 to 48 hours. We deliver a full PDF report with all the live URLs within 3 business days of the publication start.

Tangible, verifiable news gets the best results. Publishers want facts, not just marketing claims. For a collaboration platform, the most effective announcements are tied to growth, product innovation, or security. Examples include securing a new round of funding, achieving a major user milestone (e.g., 100,000 active users), launching a significant enterprise-grade feature, obtaining a security certification like SOC 2, or announcing a strategic partnership with a well-known company. These types of announcements provide concrete proof of your company's progress.

To avoid rejection, your press release must be formatted correctly and written in a neutral, third-person tone. It should read like a news article, not an advertisement. Avoid using marketing jargon, superlatives like 'game-changing' or 'revolutionary', and excessive exclamation points. Most importantly, your release must contain actual news. If the announcement is not a new development (a launch, a partnership, a milestone, data), it may be rejected as an advertisement. Our AI-powered editor helps guide you on formatting and tone to ensure compliance with publisher guidelines.

Yes, it directly addresses a key barrier in enterprise sales: risk aversion. When a manager at a large company wants to bring in a new tool, they need to justify it to IT, security, and finance. They are often asked, 'Who is this company? Are they legitimate and stable?' Being able to show that your team communication platform has been featured on Business Insider, AP News, and Yahoo Finance provides powerful third-party validation. It de-risks the decision for your internal champion and makes it much easier to get through procurement and security reviews.
