NY Weekly has become a go-to publication for founders, coaches, consultants and professionals who want a credible, well-written feature that reaches a business-minded American readership.
If you have seen a NY Weekly feature and wondered how people get there, here is the answer.
What NY Weekly actually is
NY Weekly is a US digital publication covering business, entrepreneurship, lifestyle and the people behind them. It is online only, with no print edition, and articles remain live permanently and indexed by search engines.
The readership skews toward professionals, entrepreneurs and business owners, which is precisely why it works well for anyone whose clients are those people. It is not a mass consumer audience. It is a relevant one.
Why founders choose it
Reach is not the point. Relevance is.
A feature seen by a hundred million general readers who will never buy from you does less for your business than one read by the people who actually might. NY Weekly's audience is business-minded, which means your feature lands in front of readers who understand what you do.
It is also considerably more accessible than a tier 1 national outlet, without the "who is this publication" problem of an obscure blog. That combination, credible and reachable, is the sweet spot for most professionals building their presence.
What a NY Weekly feature includes
A full, dedicated article built entirely around you. Your story, your work, your perspective, under a headline written for your angle.
Typically that means multiple photos of your choosing and several links back to your website, LinkedIn and socials, so readers who connect with the piece have a direct path to you.
It stays live permanently, with no expiration, and remains indexed, so it keeps surfacing when someone searches your name years later.
How to get featured
- Pitch the publication directly. Legitimate, free, and dependent on your story fitting what they publish and their editorial calendar having room.
- Use a professional feature service. A team writes the article to the publication's standard and handles placement. This is how most people do it, because the bottleneck is usually time and writing, not willingness.
What makes a good NY Weekly feature
Not a résumé. Not a highlight reel.
The pieces that land tell a genuine story: what you saw that others missed, why you built what you built, what you believe about your field and where it is going. Readers connect with a point of view. If it reads like an advertisement, it does nothing for you.
Your angle is the whole thing. Get that right and the rest follows.
What to expect
A good process looks like this: you share your story and background, a professional team drafts the article, you review it with revisions until every word is right, and nothing publishes without your approval. Then it goes live and you get the link.
If a provider will not show you the draft before publication, walk away.
