The article you are reading reached MSN the same way Ink Paragon’s clients get theirs. It was chosen from an online catalog, written by an editor, approved by the client and published. Big brands have used press coverage like this for years. Most small businesses have never been told they can, or what it would do for them.
Ink Paragon, a press platform from Intelligent Punks Studio, sets out to change that. It lets any business, from a local shop to a fast-growing startup, get articles and press releases published on more than 200 news and business sites. Those include MSN, AP News, USA Today, Business Insider and Yahoo Finance. There is no agency, no retainer and no sales call.
Why does press coverage matter for a small business?
Press coverage gives people a reason to trust a business before they ever contact it. When a customer looks you up and finds an article about you on a news site they know, you stop being a stranger.
- Trust. A story on an established outlet says more than an ad that you paid to show.
- Something to share. A published article is a link you can add to your website, your social pages and your sales emails.
- More of the first page. People who search your business name can find more than your own website and reviews.
Can articles help you show up on Google and in AI answers?
Yes, they can help, because search engines and AI assistants learn about a business from what trusted sites publish about it. More and more people now ask ChatGPT, Gemini or Microsoft Copilot which company to use, instead of scrolling through search results.
Those tools build their picture of a business from what is published about it across the web. When established news sites mention your business, search engines and AI assistants have trusted sources to draw on. No one can promise a ranking or a recommendation. But a business that nobody has written about gives them very little to work with.
Press release or sponsored article: what is the difference?
A press release shares your news, and a sponsored article tells your story. Both are published on real news sites.
- Press release. Your announcement, such as an opening, a launch, a new service or a milestone. It appears in the outlet’s press release section and is usually the quickest and most affordable option.
- Sponsored article. A feature about your business, published on the outlet itself and labelled as sponsored or partner content. It reads like an article and suits a story about who you are and why customers choose you.
Each outlet on Ink Paragon says which format you are buying before you pay.
How does Ink Paragon work?
It takes a few minutes of your time, and the editors do the rest.
- Pick your outlets. Browse the catalog, choose a ready-made package, or describe your business in one sentence and let the AI match suggest the best outlets, with a reason for each.
- Tell your story. Send a short brief with the angle, facts, links and quotes, or upload an article you already have.
- Approve the draft. An editor writes the article in each outlet’s style. The draft usually arrives within 24 hours, and you can approve it or ask for changes.
- Get your live links. Most outlets publish within one to three days of approval. The link arrives by email and in your account, ready to share.
How much does it cost to get featured?
Placements on Ink Paragon start at $135, and every outlet shows its price before you pay. There is no retainer, no setup fee and no long-term contract. New accounts get 10% off their first paid order, and opening an account takes only an email address, with no card needed.
You can pay by card or PayPal, or load a prepaid wallet in your account. Wallet funds never expire.
On your side from start to finish
Ink Paragon is built so that a first-time buyer never has to guess what happens next.
- You see everything first. Each outlet shows its authority score, format and price before you buy.
- You approve every draft. You review the article and can ask for changes before it goes out.
- You are covered. If an outlet does not publish, you get your money back for that placement.
- You keep the proof. Every published link stays in your account, ready to share.
“Most businesses never find out that they can buy a place in a real publication, or what it should cost,” said Vitaly Noz, founder of Ink Paragon. “We put every price on the page, write the article, and let the client approve it before it goes anywhere. If the outlet does not publish, they get their money back.”
Articles are published under each outlet’s own rules, including sponsored or press release labels where the outlet applies them.
