Terms & Conditions

By subscribing to a publicity service on 9-Figure Media, you agree to our terms and conditions, as outlined below.

We strongly encourage you to thoroughly review and inquire about the terms on this page before acquiring any service from 9-Figure Media. By proceeding with any purchase, you acknowledge and agree to abide by these terms and conditions, which outline the framework of our relationship.

Each package is a recurring monthly subscription, but you have the option to cancel at any time before your next billing date, as detailed below.

  • Upon placing an order with us, we pledge to disseminate a predetermined quantity of news articles within a stipulated timeframe, usually three months, though this duration may fluctuate based on the specific terms of our agreement with you. You are permitted to select only one publication at a time (no repetitions), and we guarantee the publication of news articles about your company or personal brand as specified in your publication plan, which you will either receive prior to or following payment. The publication schedule can differ, with some media outlets publishing your news articles within a few days, while others may have a more extended publication cycle contingent on current demand and the volume of articles being submitted for publication. In certain scenarios, the publication process could extend up to three months, which is why this guarantee is phrased as it is. We aim to expedite the process as swiftly as possible, and the quicker you respond to our questionnaire and provide information, the quicker we can publish your news articles.

Some subscriptions come with a “Google First Page Guarantee”. The condition for this guarantee is that you subscribe to a minimum term of 12 months, and post content on your website, which we will link to the news stories we publish. If we fail to achieve page 1 ranking for relevant keywords related to your company or brand, we will continue working with you at no charge until we achieve it. 

  1. Terminating your monthly subscription, known as “month-to-month,” is straightforward. Simply email us before your next billing date to request the cancellation of the service, and we will immediately terminate your monthly billing arrangement.

    For subscriptions requiring a 3, 6, or 12-month commitment, we commit to creating and editing a specified number of news stories within the initial term of your subscription. If you cancel before the end of this initial period, no further work will be completed. If you breach our agreement, we reserve the right to take screenshots of your published news stories as evidence of our fulfilled responsibilities and request their removal.

    If you cancel after the initial term, we agree to continue creating, editing, and publishing a specified number of news stories each month, aiming to meet the average monthly news story count stipulated in your subscription.

    If you cancel after your billing date or the next charge date, we will fulfill the agreed number of news stories as outlined above, but no refunds will be provided.

    Upon termination, subject to any initial term and this Cancellation Policy, the parties will have no further obligations to each other.

  1. Refunds (in part or in full) are only considered if we are unable to fulfill our contractual obligation to publish your news story or stories, subject to the paragraphs below.
  2. First Month Deliverables Can Be Delayed due to client not engaging with us in a timely manner: The speed of writing, editing and ultimately publication depends on how quickly you answer our questionnaire, respond to our initial drafts with comments or your approval and how smoothly the writing process progresses as set out below. You can rewrite our news stories to speed up the process. You agree and acknowledge that if there is back and forth on the writing process which causes delay, or if there are public holidays that slow down the process in Month 1, that we will catch up in Month 2 and that you will not use this as a basis to request a refund, charge back and no such refund will be granted in this regard. 
  3. Good Faith: If, after making a good faith effort to work with you to write an article or articles, you have not provided sign-off or failed to provide any edits or replied to our emails, then no refund will be issued. We will always publish your stories where indicated in your publication plan with your consent, and if a publication requires changes that you deem unacceptable, we will find another publication to publish your news story. 
  4. Dissatisfaction with Writing Style: We take great pride in the expertise and skills of our team of writers, journalists, and editors, and we have the utmost confidence in the quality of the work we provide our clients. However, we do not entertain requests for full or partial refunds in the event that you are dissatisfied with the content we provide or if you opt to write your own news stories. We strongly encourage you to engage in a collaborative effort with us during the drafting process to ensure that our news stories effectively convey the message they intend to communicate to your audience.
  5. Undisclosed, Adverse Information About Clients: In the event that we engage with you in good faith, and you withhold information about your business or person which leads to a publication not publishing due to an active criminal or civil case which was not known to us at the time of engagement, we will make reasonable efforts to publish your story on alternative news sites that are more tolerant with companies and individuals before the courts. In such a case, you are not entitled to a refund, but we will use our best efforts to publish the number of news stories purchased on alternative news sites. We will issue no refund if you ask us to defame a person or company after making payment. 
  6. News Stories Do Not Remain Live Forever: 9-Figure Media guarantees publicity services to its clients, including the publication of news stories and the provision of reports upon publication. However, 9-Figure Media does not offer refunds if the news story is published, goes live, and a report is sent to the client, and subsequently the news story is taken down after publication or the publication or website itself ceases to exist. This is because 9-Figure Media has fulfilled its obligation to provide the agreed-upon publicity services, and any external factors beyond 9-Figure Media’s control that affect the continued availability of the publication or website do not constitute a breach of contract by 9-Figure Media.
  7. Failing To Cancel Prior To Next Billing Date: Monthly subscriptions are non-refundable and must be cancelled prior to your next billing date in order to avoid being charged. If a cancellation is not received before the next billing date, no refunds will be issued. If the subscription is cancelled, no refunds will be issued for any partial membership periods or unused article credits but we will honour all the deliverables based on whatever option you purchase. Refunds are not issued for the first month’s service, but pro-rated news stories purchased will be delivered as soon as you engage with us to approve our publication plan or draft stories. But if you cancel within the first 3 months, we will choose the publications from your publication plan that allow the fastest turn around time so we can conclude our relationship in the fastest possible time after cancellation. 
  8. What Happens If We Don’t Publish On The .com Version? We publish news stories on news sites that are either .com, or a subsidiary site, depending on our inventory and our contacts for a particular publication. For example, Forbes is often published via Forbes Australia, or Forbes Israel and in some cases, Forbes US. The same for Entrepreneur.com which is often published via contributors who live in different parts of the world. Each publication will have its own peculiarities and you can ask questions about the format of an article, or the domain or sub-domain of an article prior to publication, but cannot request a refund or a replacement article after it has been published. No refunds will be issued, nor any article or news story republished because you are not happy with our publication plan to the extent that some publications are subsidiary sites of the .com brand, or that the article or news story was published on .com, or a subsidiary site, or that you are not happy with the country of origin of the Contributor that publishes your article. You acknowledge that you were shown examples of where we publish your news stories during the sales process, and to the extent that you claim you weren’t, the full list with examples is located here.  
  9. Purchasing By Accident Or For Other Reasons Where Client No Longer Wants or Needs Service: Refunds will not be provided for accidental purchases, medical conditions or any reason at all which prevents you from engaging with us or publishing articles after payment, or any similar reason or event.
  10. Wikipedia engagements are non-refundable if we publish news stories about you or your company, and your page is subsequently deleted. Wikipedia is crowd-sourced and has strict content and notability guidelines, as well as a dedicated community of editors and administrators who work diligently to maintain the site’s integrity and accuracy.

    We will use our best endeavours to cover your news in a way that is likely to pass editorial guidelines for Wikipedia, but it is outside our control if your page is subsequently amended or deleted. If this happens, we will substitute your Wikipedia page for a page on Wikitia, which has a lower bar for notability but you will not be eligible for a refund. 

  • Articles will remain live on the publication’s website for a minimum of 6 months.
  • Our publications are distributed in the USA, UK, Europe, or Canada, unless otherwise specified.
  • Each news story is unique and, unless explicitly stated in writing by you, will be tailored for each publication to prevent duplicate content.

Most of our publications offer do-follow links, while others do not. Some publications may change their policy on backlink following or later convert a do-follow backlink to a no-follow backlink. We have limited control over this aspect of our service, and there are no refunds if a do-follow link becomes a no-follow link after publication. We will provide the most current information to you during the sales process, but please note that publications may alter their link policy periodically.

Despite not contributing to SEO link building, nofollow links can still drive valuable referral traffic to a website if someone clicks on them. A well-placed blog comment with a nofollow link can significantly increase traffic and potentially lead to conversions. Additionally, nofollow links can directly result in someone purchasing a company’s products or services if the company consistently raises awareness and engages with its audience.

Lastly, links, whether nofollow or not, help build trust and establish a company as an industry authority. Therefore, it’s crucial to consider what links are beneficial for a business and its brand, rather than focusing solely on what links are beneficial for SEO purposes. Some experts recommend maintaining a balanced ratio of follow and nofollow links, while others suggest prioritizing do-follow links. Ultimately, the most important factor is to build a brand and make decisions that align with the business’s best interests.

We maintain a comprehensive list of organic or subtly sponsored publications. However, publications occasionally alter their policies regarding disclaimers. If a publication initially published your news story as organic and without disclaimers, or disclosed the affiliation or sponsorship between 9-Figure Media and itself subtly but later introduces or prominently displays a disclaimer, you will not be eligible for a refund or partial refund. This is because we have no control over the actions of publications after your news story has been published.

Our team is composed of highly skilled and experienced writers and editors. However, there can sometimes be a gap in understanding between our team and your brand, which may lead to misunderstandings. To bridge this gap, we send a questionnaire after receiving payment to gather more information about your expectations for the content, including how you envision it being written. Our goal is to create content that both you and your audience will find engaging and enjoyable.

Our clients often select compelling topics related to their business. If you’re unsure about what to write about, feel free to contact us for assistance. We have a skilled team experienced in enhancing the visibility of your articles.

Occasionally, changes to the news story may be necessary. The solution is straightforward: simply communicate the desired modifications directly to us. We always provide news stories in an editable format, allowing you to make adjustments, edits, or alter links as needed

Our writing service is limited to one draft and one round of edits for each news story. If you require a restart, additional fees will apply. Please be aware that if you modify the article or make direct changes within the article, you will not incur any further charges.

Occasionally, articles may not achieve immediate ranking, although a significant portion does, particularly within the Google News Feed. To enhance the likelihood of your news stories gaining strong rankings, it’s essential to seamlessly integrate links and logos into your website in a manner that is conducive to search engine optimization. Guidance on optimizing this integration can be provided following the receipt of our press publication report.

  1. Ensure that your press release title consists of a minimum of 6-8 words (excluding prepositions and articles) and adheres to the following guidelines:
  • Incorporate the company’s name or the name of the spokesperson/author in the headline.
  • Avoid personal pronouns (I, Me, My, We, Us, Our, You, Your, Them, Their, etc.) in the headline.
  • Refrain from using exclamation marks in the headline.
  • Maintain a headline length of at least 6-8 words (excluding prepositions and articles).
  • Exclude quotes from the headline.
  • Avoid a promotional tone in the headline; information about discounts, pricing, and product specifications can be included in the subheadline or the article’s body.
  1. Write the article in the third person voice, as first person (I, Me, My, We, Us, Our, etc.) and second person (You, Your, etc.) voices are not considered newsworthy, except within quotations.

  2. Do not mention 9-Figure Media in the headline or body copy, and refrain from making statements that could negatively impact our reputation or standing.

The process is expedited. We will present a publication plan containing headlines and corresponding publications. Upon your approval, we will proceed to craft your stories. Once you greenlight the publication of these stories, we will expedite the publishing process, prioritizing the fastest turnaround times for each publication and progressing to the slower ones. Subsequently, we aim to provide you with links to the published article(s) within 2-5 business days.

Certain publishers we collaborate with allow for authored publications, and we will specify these publications during our discussion via a Zoom call. If a particular publisher alters its guidelines regarding authored or contributor posts, we will substitute it with another publication that adheres to the updated guidelines. Please be aware that we have no influence over changes that may occur to publishers’ policie

You will receive a report containing the logos of each website (e.g., Forbes, Business Insider, Entrepreneur) along with the corresponding links. It’s important to note that our service involves paid promotion. While articles are typically indexed in search results, some news sites may present challenges for users searching for articles without a direct link. To enhance trust and credibility, we recommend linking the logos and articles from your homepage, landing pages, contact page, and social media platforms. This practice is commonly employed by customers to facilitate accessibility and promote confidence in the published content.

We offer various payment options, including wire transfer, credit card, direct debit (ACH), and USDT for our WEB3 clients. Charges for news stories are billed on a monthly basis, and you have the flexibility to cancel anytime before the next billing period, as outlined above. We do not have lock-in contracts unless you’ve entered into an agreement with a minimum term. Our aim is to provide you with flexibility and choice in managing your subscription.

Typically, articles remain accessible for months or even years. However, in certain instances, particularly with publishers like Marketwatch, articles may be taken down within 3-6 months of publication. Please be aware that once we successfully publish your news story, no refunds will be issued if the story is subsequently removed. We advise considering the potential longevity of the publication when making your decision.

We maintain an extensive list of .com news sites, and our network also includes various international subsidiaries. Our arrangements with different websites vary, encompassing both .com and country-specific subsidiary sites. If you have any questions regarding whether a particular website falls under the .com category or is a subsidiary site, please inquire before publication.

The global news sites predominantly focus on the U.S. but may exist as either .com or country-specific subsidiaries, subject to our current inventory. As our inventory undergoes frequent updates, we cannot provide a comprehensive list. If you have concerns about the format of a news site’s URL, domain, sub-domain, or the specific placement of your article or news story on the site, feel free to ask us for clarification before proceeding with publication.

You have the right to inquire about the news site(s) before publication, and we are committed to addressing any questions you may have to the best of our ability. If there are any uncertainties, we strongly encourage you to seek clarification before proceeding with publication. Once an article is published, we are unable to make changes to the content, language, links (follow or no-follow), or any other details that may pose concerns, unless we are informed of such issues in advance. Therefore, proactive communication before publication is key to ensuring your satisfaction with the final result.

These websites have specific requirements for news stories, necessitating a press release format that announces corporate milestones, notable hires, or other significant achievements. It’s important to note that promotional content for individuals or blockchain projects is not permitted, as these platforms adhere to special editorial guidelines. To ensure compliance and successful publication, it is crucial to craft news stories in alignment with these specified editorial requirements.

We facilitate the placement of a comprehensive feature in Forbes Australia or Israel through either our contributors or brand voice. Notably, these features still carry significant weight in the US rankings. Our strategy involves publishing on Forbes US once our client has garnered substantial publicity from various publications over several months of dedicated efforts to secure media coverage. This approach ensures optimal visibility and impact for your feature on Forbes US

We are pleased to offer the delivery of a comprehensive feature in an English-language subsidiary publication of Vogue Magazine online. It’s important to note that this feature in Vogue represents an upgrade available on Yearly, Quarterly, or Monthly subscriptions (excluding the Basic subscription). To secure this placement, a one-time additional fee of $1,600 is required in the month you wish to finalize the arrangement. This ensures the inclusion of your feature in this prestigious publication.

Our extensive portfolio of fashion publications primarily encompasses US-based platforms, with notable exceptions represented by some of our most popular publications. Publications such as Elle, Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, GQ, Glamour, L’Officiel, and Marie Claire are delivered through international subsidiaries. Despite their global reach, these publications consistently rank strongly in the United States, ensuring optimal visibility and impact within the US audience.
