Video Tutorial: How to Post Events, Announcements and Press Releases on Patch

This video tutorial shows readers of any Patch site how they can post an event or announcement—including full press releases—using tools available to all Patch users.

Have you ever sent a press release to the editor of your Patch site and wondered when it was going to post?

How about sent him or her a birth announcement or perhaps an obit (which are published free on Patch sites) or school award only to wonder if it was ever going to be published?

Well, our Patch sites are designed in a way that is easy for users to post their own announcement without having to wait for the editor to post it for you.

It really is the best way to post your announcement or press release if you are a nonprofit agency, for profit agency, government body or other group to get your stuff on the Patch, instantly.

Follow this video tutorial to see how to do this, step by step. After you finish watching the video, consider using these techniques in the video to post on Patch.
