Our Top tips and Best Practices for Securing a Forbes Feature

One effective way to get noticed is to submit a guest post on a topic relevant to your industry. Forbes has a contributor platform that accepts well-written, valuable articles from thought leaders like you. Another option is to pitch a story idea to a Forbes reporter or editor. You can also become a Forbes Council member, a community of successful business leaders and entrepreneurs who contribute to the site.

Forbes regularly publishes lists of successful companies, entrepreneurs, and leaders in various industries. If you or your company meet the qualifications, you can apply to be included in these lists. Another strategy is to leverage your network. If you know someone within Forbes or who has been featured, ask them to introduce you to a reporter or editor who may be interested in your story.

Additionally, being active on social media can help catch Forbes’ attention. Forbes is active on social media and often shares interesting content from other sources. If you produce valuable content on your accounts, it might get the attention of Forbes’ writers and editors.

To improve your chances of being featured in Forbes, establishing yourself as an authority in your field is crucial. Building a strong online presence by creating a professional website or blog, building a social media following, and showcasing your credentials are all ways to establish credibility.
