Pressmark · For publishers
How it works for publishers
Buyers find you here and ask you for prices. You answer them directly and keep every penny.
How it works
- ClaimYour site listing is free. Claim it with a domain email or DNS verification.
- ReceiveBuyers reach you in two ways, shown below.
- AnswerReply with your price in one short form.
- DealAgree terms with the buyer directly. We take no commission.
Briefs
A buyer briefs your category. You see it on your dashboard and in your digest, and answer if you can price it. Pro can always quote, even once the free places are taken.
Get a price requests
A buyer picks you from the register. Send an offer within 3 working days and it's yours alone to win. Quiet, or can't take it? It goes to others in your category.
Requests to you are yours first
A buyer presses Get a price on your entry. You get an email, and the request sits at the top of your dashboard.
Send an offer within 3 working days and nobody else sees it. Can't take it, or miss it? The buyer can ask others in your category.
On Pro, your main button is your own: straight to your site. Get a price sits beside it.

Straight answers
Is it really free? Yes. Claim for free and you see every brief in your category and every request sent to you. Each brief has 3 free places for offers, first come first served, and it opens to everyone if it's still quiet after 5 days. Pro adds your own main button, and you can quote on every brief in up to three categories, even once its free places are taken. No credits, no commission.
Do links pass SEO value? No. Every link on Pressmark is nofollow. We send you buyers, not link equity, which keeps the register safe to be listed on.
Who sees my details? Buyers see your entry, nothing else. Your login email is never published.
What if I miss a request? After 3 working days the buyer can ask others in your category. Offer inside the 3 days and it stays yours.
Can I leave? Any time, from your dashboard. Your entry comes off at once, you can restore it for 7 days, and we never list your site again without you.
