Yes!
MarketingProfs accepts bylined contributions from outside writers for its weekly newsletter, MarketingProfs Today. We accept story ideas for our other publications, including our small business-focused newsletter, Get to the Point, as well as our blog, the MarketingProfs Daily Fix.
Contributing to MarketingProfs Today
If you are interested in joining our more than 350 contributors on a one-time or regular basis, here are some guidelines:
1. Articles should be original to the author and should not have been previously published elsewhere. Include your byline and a brief (no more than 25 words) bio to accompany it. We do not use author photos.
2. Articles should offer readers clear advice or take-aways about a specific issue or approach. Bullet points are good. Meandering text is not.
3. Send article directly to Ann Handley (ann@marketingprofs.com) in Word format – no pdf files, please. Include relevant links in parentheses, next to the word/s to be linked. Do not embed links in a Word document.
4. We do not publish press releases.
5. Do not submit articles about businesses or companies in which you have a vested interest, unless you disclose as much to the audience.
6. Copyright is retained by the writer. MarketingProfs may, however, reprint your piece, with full attribution, in companion MarketingProfs products and marketing materials.
7. We do not pay most guest contributors for occasional articles.
