Senior Outlook Today welcomes submissions of bylined articles, opinion pieces, product reviews, and event listings. Below you will find a basic guideline on how to submit your bylined article. If you have any questions, please email our managing editor.
Our guest experts cover a range of topics of interest to seniors. Our aim is to meet the diverse, personal needs of our readers by delivering relevant information on relationships, education, careers, retirement, health, humor, money management, nutrition, online resources, self-improvement, travel, and more.
All ideas will be reviewed by the Senior Outlook Today editorial team and a staff member will be in contact to discuss our production expectations if we wish to move forward.

Sponsored Post
Sponsored posts, which can include articles, company news, press releases, videos, interviews and other newsworthy stories about your company, allow you to take advantage of cost-effective content-based marketing.
Remember, if you deliver consistent, valuable information to your potential audience, they will ultimately reward you with their business.
Well-crafted content offers your business long-term search value and brand recognition, and since our site is well-ranked and well-established, your sponsored post has the potential to work for you for a long time.
For all sponsored content, payment is required before content goes live. Links in the sponsored article will be do-follow, live, and connected to your site or landing page. If you need a writer to produce the content, our team can help you. You can find our rates here.
