Can you get featured on MSN?
Microsoft’s news portal, a daily starting point for mainstream readers across the United States.
MSN gathers news, money, health, lifestyle, entertainment and sports stories from a wide network of partner publishers into one portal. A business appears there only when a partner outlet has already written about it, so coverage tends to follow national brands, public figures and stories that are already trending. A guaranteed placement removes that uncertainty: the piece is arranged with the publication in advance, you approve the draft, and it publishes on msn.com inside a written window, usually three to five days. It is a real article on the site that you can put in a proposal, a deck or a profile.
What MSN covers
MSN is Microsoft’s consumer news portal. It brings together reporting from partner publishers across national and world news, money and personal finance, health and wellness, food, travel, autos, entertainment, sports and weather, and arranges it into one feed. Because it is built into Microsoft’s browser and operating system, it is the first page many people see when they open a new tab or start their day.
The tone is accessible and general-interest. MSN is not a trade publication, so the stories that travel well are ones a neighbor would understand without background: a useful product, a small business with an unusual origin, practical advice on money or health, a local success with wider national appeal. Clear headlines and plain language matter far more here than industry vocabulary.
Who reads MSN
MSN readers are a cross-section of the American public: working adults, parents, retirees, shoppers and small business owners who want the day’s headlines without visiting ten different sites. Many reach it through the default homepage on a work or home computer. They read broadly, moving from a news story to a recipe to a money tip in the same visit.
For a consumer brand, a local business or a professional who serves the public, an MSN feature puts your name on a site nearly everyone has heard of. That recognition helps most with customers who are deciding whether to trust a company they have just found, and it works well on product pages, packaging inserts, storefront signage and social profiles.
Who an MSN feature is a good fit for
MSN suits brands and people whose customers are the general public.
Consumer product brands
Food, beauty, home, fitness and household brands whose buyers are everyday shoppers looking for a recognizable name before they order.
Local and service businesses
Restaurants, contractors, clinics, law firms, real estate teams and other local companies that want a national name beside their own.
Experts with practical advice
Financial planners, doctors, coaches, attorneys and authors who can explain a money, health or life question in terms any reader can use.
Travel, auto and lifestyle companies
Hotels, tour operators, dealerships, wellness brands and entertainment businesses whose stories match the sections MSN readers browse every day.

What makes a story pitch-ready for MSN
MSN readers are generalists. The story has to make sense without any industry background.
A story works on MSN when it is useful or interesting to someone who has never heard of you. Start with the human detail or the everyday problem, explain what you do in one plain sentence, and give the reader something to take away: a tip, a surprising fact, or a reason to care about your corner of the world.
We choose the strongest of the angles below before drafting. Business owners tend to underrate their origin story, which is often the part a general reader remembers longest.
What weakens a pitch
- Industry jargon. MSN readers are not specialists, and a story that needs a glossary will lose them in the first paragraph.
- A sales pitch in disguise. A list of features and a discount code is an ad, and general readers scroll straight past it.
- Health or money claims without support. Anything presented as advice must be accurate and responsible, and everything we write must be true.
- Stories with no person in them. A general audience connects with who did something and why, more than with a company description.
How Viral Spike Marketing handles it
Strategy, story angle, writing, placement, delivery. No retainer, no lock-in.
Strategy
A short consultation covers your business, your customers, your story and your timing. If MSN is not the right outlet for your goal, we say so.
Story angle
We identify the angle an editor at MSN would run: the human story, the useful advice or the everyday problem solved that a general reader would stop to read.
Writing
Our writers draft the piece to MSN’s standards and length. You review it, request revisions and give written approval.
Placement
The approved article is submitted to the publication inside the agreed window. Nothing is submitted before you sign off.
Delivery
The piece goes live on msn.com. You receive the live URL and guidance on using it in your website, product pages, storefront and social profiles.
Viral Spike Marketing has run press and visibility campaigns for brands, founders and artists across the country, including names such as OVO Sound, Taylor Gang, G Herbo and NLE Choppa. Guaranteed placements are one route inside our public relations service; pitched coverage is the other.
