Content Advertising
Your Sponsored Story requires just two things: Text and Photos.
Complete the following steps…
Step 1: Your Text
Content advertising only works when it relates to the reader. As such, all sponsored stories undergo an interview, draft, and approval process with a Social Magazines writer to make sure each story meets our editorial standards of excellence.
We understand promoting your business is the ultimate drive behind your story, so we are equipped to turn advertising copy into an interesting story that solves a problem for the readers, rather than sound like a radio commercial script. From time to time we may remove or reword overtly promotional text so your story sounds more like an editorial, rather than an advertisement. Trust us through the process.

Step 2: Your Photos

Approve Proofs
Once we have your completed interview, we’ll write your story and send you a proof to edit. Once we have your photos, we’ll drop your approved story and photos into the magazine and send you a final proof to review. Voila!
Final magazine layout proof will be sent to you with approved text and approved photo for accuracy before printing. You are allowed 1 round of proofing at this stage. No text changes (besides typos) can be made once you receive a magazine layout proof.
