You want your business on MSN. Not a forum mention, not a line in a wire feed: a real article about your business, published on msn.com, carrying one of the most recognised names on the internet. This page is the complete answer to how that happens. It explains the only route that actually exists, what the finished article looks like, who it fits, what decides the price, and the scams to avoid before you pay anyone. And it names the helper in the first screen, because that is the other half of what you searched for: we arrange MSN articles for businesses like yours, and the email that starts yours is on this page.
Can you actually buy an article on MSN? The short answer
Yes, but not the way most people first imagine. MSN is not a publication with a newsroom you can pitch. It is a portal: a syndication and distribution engine that carries content from hundreds of partner sources, with the source shown on each piece. There is no editor at MSN waiting for your business story, and no contributor programme to apply to.
Articles reach msn.com through its partner content flow. That flow is the route. A sponsored article about your business is prepared properly, placed through the partner route, and published on msn.com as a written article with your business as its subject. That is the product this page describes, and arranging it is what we do. The answer to "can a business like mine get on MSN" is yes, through this route, and the rest of the page is the detail: what you get, what it costs in terms of factors, and exactly how the steps run.

Why businesses want their name on MSN
MSN has been in front of everyday readers since 24 August 1995, when it launched alongside Windows 95. Very few names on the internet have been a daily habit for that long. Because the portal draws its content from hundreds of partner sources, it sits in front of a broad national audience every day: it is the news page a huge share of ordinary readers open without thinking, the way they have for decades.
The weight is measurable as well as habitual. In our outlet directory, MSN records a Domain Authority of 95 and 34.5 million monthly organic visits. Those are the directory's figures and they are enough. What a business actually buys with an MSN article is the use of that name where it matters: "As Featured On MSN" on your homepage, in your pitch deck, beside your name when a customer, a partner or a lender checks you out before deciding. A customer who has never heard of your company has heard of MSN every day of their adult life. The article borrows that recognition and attaches it to you, permanently, in a form you can link to forever.
What a sponsored article on MSN actually looks like
The finished product is a written article about your business, living on msn.com. It has a headline written to be read, a body that tells your story properly, and the source attribution shown the way MSN shows sources across its partner content. It sits inside MSN's own section structure, which runs from top stories and U.S. news through money, technology, entertainment, opinion, sports and crime. Where your article belongs depends on your angle: a finance tool sits naturally in money, a consumer product in the sections its buyers read.
Two things are stated plainly because they are part of the product's legitimacy. The article is labelled as paid content. And it reads like an article, because it is one: written about your business, your customers and your proof, structured to hold a reader to the end. It is not a banner, not a listing, and not a paragraph dropped into a feed. It is a page on msn.com with your business as its subject, and its live link is an asset you own the use of from the day it publishes.
An MSN article is not an MSN press release
This distinction saves buyers more money than any other paragraph on this page. A press release is wire copy: an announcement formatted like every other announcement, dropped into a distribution feed, built to exist rather than to be read. It does its job for a day and is gone from everyone's attention.
Cheaper listings sell "MSN" as a line item inside big bundles, and what the line item usually turns out to be is release distribution. The buyer pays for an article, receives a feed drop, and wonders why nothing about it feels like being featured.
A sponsored article is a different product. It is written about your business, shaped around what your customer needs to believe before they buy, and published as a kept page you can point to for years. When you compare offers, ask one question: will my business be the subject of a written article on msn.com, or will my announcement be distributed to a feed? If the seller will not answer that in plain words, you already have your answer.
Who an MSN article fits, and who it does not
An MSN article fits a business that sells nationally or online and wants one big-name proof asset working everywhere: on its site, in its decks, in the moment a prospect searches its name. It suits brands whose customers are spread across the country rather than concentrated in one town, and companies that need a recognised name behind them when they approach partners, retailers or investors.
It does not fit everyone, and this page would rather lose the wrong reader than mislead them. If all your customers live within a few streets of your door, a local news outlet in your own market will usually serve you better than a national portal; our guide to which news outlets accept sponsored content compares the routes honestly. And if what you want is MSN's own newsroom choosing to cover you editorially, that is not a product that exists, here or anywhere. What exists is the sponsored route, labelled and legitimate, and for the right business it is plenty.
How to get your article published on MSN, step by step
Step 1: Email us. Write to uzairasad@pressfeature.org with your business name, your website, and what you want featured. That email is the whole application. No form, no account, no retainer.
Step 2: Fit and angle. We confirm your business fits the route and agree the angle with you: the story the article will tell and the section it belongs in. If your business does not fit, you get a plain answer and a better suggestion, not a sales push.
Step 3: The article is prepared. You supply the facts, the material and any draft you have; the article is written and shaped for the partner route, in article form, about your business.
Step 4: The partner route and review. The article goes through MSN's partner content flow and its checks, and is published on msn.com.
Step 5: Your live link. You receive the live msn.com link to your article. It is yours to put on your site, in your decks, and anywhere your name is checked.
Your protection is stated before you pay anything: payment is in full in advance, and if the article does not go live, you receive a full refund, in writing. There is no version of this arrangement where you pay and end up with nothing.
What decides the price of an MSN article
There is no price for an MSN article on this page, and that is deliberate. The figure is set per placement, by factors that genuinely differ between businesses: the section and placement your angle calls for, the article's length and production, your link requirements, and the turnaround you need. A flat number printed here would have to ignore all four, which is exactly how bundle sellers price the release product described above.
So every MSN placement is quoted individually, by email, before any commitment. You send the email, you get the figure for your business and your article, and you decide with the whole picture in front of you. Our guide to how much a sponsored article costs explains the factor model behind quotes like this in full. What this page promises is narrower: a straight figure, the refund protection above standing behind it, and no obligation attached to asking.
Links, labelling and how long your MSN article stays live
Three honest answers, because this is where MSN offers are most often oversold.
Links. Links in a paid article carry sponsored attributes, as paid content rules require. No honest seller guarantees you a dofollow link on MSN, and anyone who prints that guarantee is describing a product that does not exist. The link's value is real but it is the honest kind: readers reaching your site from a page on a domain with MSN's authority, and the credibility of where the link sits.
Labelling. The article is labelled as paid content. That is not a flaw in the product; it is what makes the placement legitimate, and it is how MSN's partner content works across the portal.
Permanence. Our MSN placements are sold as permanent articles, and the exact permanence terms are confirmed in writing with your order, before you pay. One caveat is stated rather than hidden: MSN pages live inside a partner-fed portal, so the written terms in your order are the promise you hold, not a slogan on a sales page. If a seller will not put permanence in writing, that tells you what their permanence is worth.
The MSN scams to avoid before you pay anyone
MSN's name is rented by sellers who have nothing to do with it. Three tests catch nearly all of them.
The domain test. Real MSN is msn.com. A gig in the current search results sells placement on a lookalike domain dressed up to resemble MSN. If the sample link a seller shows you is not on msn.com, you are not buying MSN, whatever the listing calls it.
The metrics test. Check any reach figure against published directory data. Our directory records MSN at a Domain Authority of 95 and 34.5 million monthly organic visits. Sellers claiming hundreds of millions of readers are inflating the easiest number to check, and a seller casual with easy numbers will be casual with your money.
The guarantee test. Guaranteed dofollow links, guaranteed rankings, guaranteed traffic: none of these exist in a real paid placement on MSN. A guarantee is not a sign of a strong offer. It is the signature of a product that is not real.
Against all three, hold every seller, including us, to the same standard: the real domain, directory-consistent figures, no impossible guarantees, and a full refund in writing if the article does not go live. Our terms meet that standard on this page, in the open.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to get featured on MSN?
There is no public price, because each placement is quoted individually. The deciding factors are the section and placement, the article's length and production, your link requirements and the turnaround. One email returns your exact quote, with no obligation.
Can anyone publish an article on MSN?
Not directly. MSN is partner-fed; it does not take direct submissions from businesses. That is exactly why the route runs through a placement partner like us, who works the partner content flow for you.
Is a sponsored article on MSN dofollow?
No honest seller guarantees that. Links in paid content carry sponsored attributes, and that is the treatment to expect on MSN as on any legitimate paid placement.
How long does it take to get published on MSN?
The timeline is set by the production and review steps for your article, and your confirmed timeline is given with your quote, before you pay anything.
Does MSN accept guest posts?
Not in the blog sense. There is no contributor programme to apply to. The route for a business is a paid placement through the partner content flow, which is what this page describes.
Will my article stay on MSN permanently?
Placements are sold as permanent articles, and the exact permanence terms are confirmed in writing with your order before payment, so the promise you hold is written, not verbal.
What is the difference between a press release on MSN and a sponsored article on MSN?
A press release is wire copy dropped into a distribution feed. A sponsored article is a written article about your business, published as a kept page on msn.com. They are different products with different value, and they are often confused on purpose.
Can a small business get featured on MSN without being a publisher?
Yes. That is precisely the buyer this page and our service exist for. You do not need to be a media company; you need a business worth writing about and one email to us.
