# Maker Relay Distribution Guide

So, you followed the instructions in [How to Make Maker Relay](https://hackmd.io/8YswiIYLR5-gkmWhq6NFVw?both=) and the latest episode of Maker Relay is ready to go. Great job!

This guide will help you publish and promote Maker Relay.

>As with everything in MakerDAO, please feel free and encouraged to inject your ideas and creativity into this as you see fit!

## Publishing Maker Relay

How you go about publishing Maker Relay depends on how comfortable you feel using Github.

If you're not comfortable using Github, no problem! Please send a link of your hack.md to @tim.black on [Maker Chat](https://chat.makerdao.com/) and he'll be happy to take care of it.

If you're comfortable making pull requests, copy the content from your hack.md into a new .md file in [this folder](https://github.com/makerdao/community/tree/master/governance/communications). Create a pull request and Tim will merge the article as soon as possible.

## Promoting Maker Relay

1. If you have a Twitter account, create a thread using the [Tweet Thread Template](https://hackmd.io/QdEh2hb_TY64a7Ui1N0NjQ) containing highlights from the week's episode. 
    * Tag the accounts of any individuals or organizations quoted or highlighted.
    * Share a link to the tweet in the #shillabees and #governance-and-risk channels in [Maker Chat](https://chat.makerdao.com/).
    * Ping @annaalexak in [Maker Chat](https://chat.makerdao.com/) to publish the tweets from the [@MkrGov](https://twitter.com/mkrgov) account.
    * Drop a link in MakerDAO Chat on Telegram
      * Other DeFi telegram groups?
2. Create a post with the `Governance` and `maker relay` tag on [Maker Forum](https://forum.makerdao.com/). Make sure to cut forum self referential language "find out more on the forum" or "read more on the forum." Also remove the link formatting for Twitter, it has a native display function.
3. Create a post on the [MakerDAO subreddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/MakerDAO/).
    * [Example 1](https://www.reddit.com/r/MakerDAO/comments/hif0eu/maker_relay_ep_1/)
    * [Example 2](https://www.reddit.com/r/MakerDAO/comments/hmk1g0/maker_relay_02_06072020/)
