How does linking work?

What counts as a media file?

Size limits: JPG/PNG up to 5 MB, GIF and video up to 15 MB.
Where does my sponsored post get published?
Your post is published on @php_net, the largest PHP community channel on X, and appears in the timeline of 145,000+ people.
Do I only reach PHP developers?
The channel is PHP-centered — but its 145,000+ followers are professional software developers: backend and full-stack engineers, tech leads, CTOs, freelancers and agencies. Topics that speak to developers in general — jobs, dev tools, databases, hosting, AI tooling, conferences — resonate just as well as PHP-specific ones.
Which languages are allowed?
Every language supported by X is allowed. We recommend publishing in English if you want to address most of the community.
Will my post compete with other sponsored posts?
No. There is a maximum of one sponsored post every three hours — no other sponsored post appears three hours before or after yours.
Do you delete sponsored posts after some time?
No. Your sponsored post stays up unless you ask us to remove it.
How does the pricing work?
Two packages, both with up to 280 characters (full X length) and a media file included:
- Sponsored Post — €399: post on @php_net, go-live in 0–48 h, 3 hours of exclusivity.
- Spotlight — €699: additionally a repost after 48 h, pinned for 3 days and a performance report after 7 days.
Extras: exclusive pinning €200 per week (max. 4 weeks), single repost + €149.
All prices net, plus VAT where applicable. Sponsorship disclosure happens via X's native “Paid Partnership” label and does not cost you any characters.
Is this offer available to private individuals?
No. Our offer is exclusively for businesses, self-employed professionals and organizations (B2B). That is why all prices are shown net. To book, we need your company name and your company's country.
How does VAT work?
All bookings are charged a flat 19 % German VAT. The amount is shown before payment and itemised separately on your invoice.
How can I pay?
Directly online via Stripe (card and other payment methods) — or by classic SEPA bank transfer; you receive our bank details right after booking. If you need a different arrangement (e.g. payment on account), contact us — we will work out a solution.
Can I get a receipt?
Absolutely. Add your billing email while composing your post — your receipt arrives right after the payment is completed.
Are you affiliated with the official PHP Group?
No. We are an independent group of PHP developers, delivering release and conference information on X since 2008. We are not affiliated with the official PHP Group.
