How can you get featured on Forbes, Yahoo Finance, Yahoo News, AP, Bloomberg?
It’s a thrilling experience to see the name of your brand on a large publication for the first time. As your article goes live, you anticipate all the good things that come with being published by a large media outlet. Your hard work has finally paid off.
Then again, you might not be at that stage yet. You might wonder whether it’s worth aiming for those big publications. Once you get accepted, what happens next?
Here are one of the most important benefits to getting featured in a large publication:
1. You get more readers, which means more clients.
A large publication, by nature, has a lot of readers. When your work is more visible, more readers can learn about what you do. Some become dedicated followers and eventually some become clients. The results of posting an article on a large publication are ten to a hundred times greater than posting on a small, niche site.
There are a couple caveats though. First, the publication should be a fit with the topic you write about. For instance, a publication targeting fitness-oriented readers is going to respond more positively to an article about food and exercise, while a business publication is more likely to talk about startup life and entrepreneurship.
2. You establish instant credibility.
Trust is difficult to acquire, especially in the Internet age. So how do you develop instant credibility? By letting others know who or what you associate with.
Think about it: Who would you warm up to, a stranger or a stranger who’s associated with something familiar? Of course the second one would win. It’s similar to how you feel when you learn someone went to the same school or is a member of the same organization.
Contributing to large publications means that your work has been vetted by authority sources. When people look up your name or your company, what do they see? If recognizable sites such as Entrepreneur or Forbes show up, your work is taken much more seriously.
You can also mention on your site and profiles where you’ve been featured to provide credibility.
3. You get featured on other publications more easily.
Once you get featured on a large publication, it becomes easier to get featured on other large publications. Why?
Because when one publication accepts your work, you can show your past articles to another large publication. The second publication sees that someone has vetted your work, you know how to write for large sites, and you can comfortably work with editors. Basically, you’re a safer bet than someone who hasn’t been featured on large outlets before.
How to get Featured on Yahoo News/Finance, Forbes or any other large publication?
I’ve created an account on Fiverr.com and hired someone there to publish my press release. After only 48 hours, my article got featured on +1000 media resources, including such giants as Forbes, Yahoo! Finance, Yahoo Sport, Yahoo news, AP news, Bloomberg, Business Insider, Digital Journal, Newsweek, Reader’s Digest, NewsNow, Market Watch, New York Magazine, CNBC and many more.
I decided to pay less than $300 on Fiverr.com as it’s ZERO Risk, because the platform will refund you if the seller fails to deliver on time and as the gig was described. I was so lucky as the seller was genuine and I didn’t waste my time.
It took me more than one month to find such a great seller.
You may find so many cheap freelancers, but you have to be very careful. They have tried to scam me several times, but, fortunately I didn’t let them mislead me.
They may ask you to consider the job as done and rate it. They are using some old tricks and asking the clients to accept the delivery and wait a few more days until the articles goes live and saying sometimes that the approval from the editorial team takes a little bit longer than usual. DON’T BE FOOLED, and don’t NEVER EVER accept the delivery unless you see your articles LIVE
You can see below the screenshots of what they have tried to do:
He sent me a dead link of APnews.com in the text file.
Then, I’ve requested a revision and asked the seller to not deliver until the link goes live.
He kept trying and delivered three times the same file. After 5 days, I’ve requested from Fiverr.com to cancel the order and refund me the full amount.
That’s why you have to be very careful when buying a service online.
So far, the one I found is literally the cheapest genuine press release distribution I’ve ever seen.
You can choose exactly where you want to publish your article. You can spend as low as $5 to get your press release featured on newspapers and magazines. But if you would like to go BIG and see your name or your brand on a large publication, you will have to spend more.

Tips for Creating an Eye Catching Press Release
- Stand out headlines are important
- Press releases should be 400 words minimum
- Including a city, state, and a category with releases can help improve search-ability
- Content should be original
If your press release is about Health supplements Product Reviews:
- Do not make bold statements that make the reader believe that it is a magic supplement.
- Use of words like pills/capsules is not correct. Many medical assertions can result in the content publisher in problems.
- Do not use the FDA statement. If you need FDA/CDC statement, it has to be like so:
Example: Is the product FDA approved?
Answer: Please visit the [product] official website.
