What Creators are saying
”Microsoft Start helps to expand my page visit rate, and that's a big boost and reward for all the hard work I put into my blog. Of course, the extra revenue I receive through the program is very welcome, too. I recommend the Microsoft Start program for any influencer who wants to prosper and improve.”

”Working with Microsoft has been a fantastic experience. It helped increase my website's traffic and made me money at the same time. What more could anyone ask?”
Mary - Beauty Cooks Kisses
”My favorite part of being on the Microsoft Start Creator Team is reaching a new global audience of readers. I am able to share my passion for National Parks and outdoor recreation with new readers while continuing to build my own website. I would definitely recommend the MSN Start program for other online publishers.”
John - Park Ranger John
”Microsoft Start has been a massive help in growing my audience and getting my stories in front of readers who may not have found them otherwise. My page views grew at least 30% as soon as I started, and subscribers to my newsletter have also increased. I feel like it's a partnership, and we're both invested in sharing good content.”
Rene - Middle Journey
”When I post diligently and submit my articles to be featured through the Microsoft Start's platform, I see a huge spike in my organic and referral traffic on my website through Google Analytics. I also see extra hundreds or thousands of additional daily readers through the Start Creator dashboard. I see my sales increase through the links embedded inside my articles that also appear on the Start platform. I’m just now starting to make an additional stream of income through the ads MSN places on my articles that appear on their pages and it’s just gravy.”
Rina - LA Family Travel
”My favorite part of working with Microsoft Start is being able to expand our audience and share our content with new readers around the world. We have seen amazing results from sharing our content through the platform. It is an epic opportunity to reach new readers that may not have seen our content through other social channels.”
