FAQs
To submit a bylined article, go to Experts in the left sidebar, expand Bylined Articles, and select New Article to start your draft. You'll need a completed Expert Profile before submitting an article. If you haven't created one yet, set up your profile first, then return to Bylined Articles to begin your submission.
No. Bylined articles go to editorial review, then publish on news.featured.com under your byline and are free for verified publishers to run with attribution back to you.
About 90% of high-quality, human-written articles that follow our guidelines are published on Featured News. Every article is reviewed by our editors before publication.
Yes. Attribution typically includes your full name, job title, and one link to your company. Each publication makes the final call on how authors are credited.
Business and Pro plans include unlimited submissions, subject to fair use limits. Lite and Free plans include one submission per month. You can also buy credit packs for extra submissions (5 credits per article).
Articles are typically reviewed within 10 business days. You can track the review status in the Connectively dashboard.
Yes, you can include secondary external links within the article if they are relevant and add value. However, publishers have the final say on which links remain in the published version. Check our guidelines for more details.

Yes. Write about what you know best in your field: how something works, what’s changing in your industry, what you’d tell a peer who’s facing the same decisions you’ve faced. The best bylines read like expert advice, not a company story, and your byline and author bio already carry your name, title, and company link, so the article is free to focus on the ideas. Our guidelines list the few topics we don’t cover.
Submissions are included with Business and Pro plans (unlimited, subject to fair use limits) and Lite and Free plans (one per month). Otherwise, each submission costs 5 credits, which you can buy in credit packs.
