Your guide to using the new AsiaNet platform

The new AsiaNet platform allows you to chat directly to other AsiaNet agencies regarding a PR and add colleagues as users.
This guide will assist you in navigating the new platform. Look out for the video icon 📽️ which indicates a short video is available to watch.

To conduct a Price Inquiry on the new AsiaNet platform:
Click 'Create Press Release'. You won't need to have the Press release content to get a quote. You will only need the Word Count.
Ensure that the Circuits the customer would like a quote for have been selected in the Circuits module.
Ensure that the Word Count has been entered in the Word count module.
Return to the press release builder page and click View Pricing.
This will generate a pop-up showing the price for a Contributor based on the Word count entered.
You can close the press release at this point and your release will be saved as a Draft.
