Video Tutorial: How to Post an Announcement or Press Release on Any Patch Site

It's free. It's easy. And your announcement will be posted on the site instantly and be included in the daily newsletter.

Manalapan Patch welcomes all of your press releases that are relevant to people living in Manalapan and Englishtown. As the editor, I want to let you in on a little secret: You don't have to ask me to post them.

You can do it yourself, right now.

Patch sites are designed in a way which makes it easy for users to post their own announcement. We want you to tell everyone about the hair salon's donations to Locks of Loves, the high school 5K, the PTA miniature golf outing, the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new business in town, the pancake breakfast for a cause, or the local blood drive. Also, including a photo really makes a difference if you want to attract attention. It's funny how much a little visual helps entice readers!

The announcement will go out with the newletter delivered early every morning. And if you uploaded a great photo, I will likely feature it on the front page!

Follow this video tutorial by Dixon Patch Editor to see how to do this, step by step.
