At a minimum, contributors should have at least one of the following:
A LinkedIn profile
A website or portfolio
A newsletter, blog, podcast, or social media presence

We also ask that contributors are happy to share their published article on their own channels. If you’re proud of the piece, we want you to help it reach the right people.
What we’re looking for
We’re interested in original, useful and well-researched content that helps our audience become better marketers.

Include practical takeaways, not just theory
Be well structured with clear headings and short paragraphs
Include credible sources where claims, stats, studies, or platform updates are mentioned
Avoid irrelevant promotional links
Avoid generic, AI-written, or surface-level content
Feel aligned with the Trending Now tone: clear, smart, casual and strategic
We do not publish content that is purely AI-generated. AI may be used to support research or drafting, but every guest post must be genuinely written, reviewed and shaped by a human.

Guest post guidelines
Most guest posts should be around 1,000 words or more, depending on the topic.
We may edit submissions for clarity, structure, tone, formatting and accuracy. We may also suggest changes before publishing.
By submitting a guest post, you give Trending Now permission to publish, edit, promote and repurpose the article across our website, Substack, Instagram, Threads, email and other channels.
