  1. A donation of $10 is requested for us to approve your release, but is not mandatory.  Submit your donation within 12 hours of your release submission.  Press Releases are not guaranteed to remain in the approval queue longer than 12 hours.
  2. The most important thing to remember is to submit a quality release with a date, location, contact information, no spelling errors, proper English, etc…
  3. Register with our website (we also offer the ability to connect your Facebook account to your user profile on our website).  Registering is a one-time process and for future releases, you will just have to login.  Our registration requires email confirmation, so be sure to use a proper email address.
  4. The first time you login, it may seem complicated.  Click “Posts” on the left hand menu, then click “add new”.
  5. The releases can be typed in or pasted into the WYSIWYG editor (what you see is what you get).  Don’t forget a title on the release.  Always  choose a category (lower RHS).  Do not add tags.  They will be deleted.
  6. You will be able to see all the pending releases (by others, too) – but you will not be able to edit them (except for your own).
  7. If you are going to actively submit press releases, it’s a good idea to update your profile with pertinent information about yourself.  Self promotion is allowed!
  8. Always leave the default of “Standard” on the post type (RHS)
  9. When you are done, click “Submit for Approval”  (Upper RHS).
  10. Each release should be placed in a single category.  If you would like to suggest a category, send us an email at info@michiganbusiness.us.
  11. Once approved, your release will be syndicated to Google, Yahoo, The Michigan Business Directory, numerous vertical portals, syndicated to Twitter and Facebook.  We offer a premium package ($30) that gets sent to DIGG, Stumbleupon and additional Twitter accounts.
