iMark MSN Pro Plugin
Introducing the iMark MSN Pro Plugin: Making MSN Galleries Easy!
In today’s creator economy, it’s more important than ever to diversify your traffic from just search engines. Social media, email, and other search engines are good sources of traffic. MSN Start is a program operated by MSN that allows creators to publish their articles to MSN in order to gain traffic and earn money. Some of the best performing options are their galleries. Unfortunately, it was never easy to create these in WordPress.
That’s where our MSN Pro plugin comes in. After working with a number of our customers, we developed a solution that will allow creators to publish their posts to MSN as a gallery in order to earn traffic and potential money. This plugin is constantly being developed based on feedback from users and we will continue adding new features as they are requested.
Our MSN Pro plugin is currently in beta but available for purchase and use. The beta program allows us to collect more feedback and release more features.
Please take a look at the quick FAQ below to answer any questions you might have about this plugin and what we offer.

Quick FAQ
Please make sure to check out our guide when working with this plugin to insure a smooth experience.
Yes, MSN Start plugin is not associated with our plugin. It was created by MSN for their Start program. You do want to make sure you disable any automatic posting as it will take your new gallery post and push it in as an article.
We call this our “insurance” plan with daily offsite backups which are held for 90 days. Backups are one of the most important things a website can do. It includes our toolkit and many other items. You can read more on our Protect page.
Links in your headings is not advised as it confuses MSN’s system and the headings won’t show properly. Don’t add links in your headings
This isn’t advised. it can cause formatting issues. Don’t add links or line breaks in your image captions. Stick with simple “Image Credit: Site Name” as the general format
While it can be as long as you want, the intro paragraph in your post will become the first slide in your MSN gallery slideshow. Keep it simple and concise, but use it to help keep people scrolling through the rest of the slides
Once our add-on is active, your feed will be available at https://yourdomain.com/feed/msn
Make sure to replace “https://yourdomain.com” with your actual domain.
No, our add-on is to allow you to publish new posts with a specific format built just for MSN. They require specific items and that is hard to achieve with old post formats. Please create a new post specifically in the format outlined in this guide.
Our add-on can only publish as a gallery (once you have added the feed into your account). Check your feeds to make sure you don’t have more than one. if you do, suspend those other feeds. Also check to make sure you are not setting the MSN Start plugin to publish when you are creating the post. it will push the post in as an article.
This is due to the same issue as above. You either have another feed in your account that is pulling off your main RSS feed or you have set your MSN Start Plugin to publish the post automatically after publish. Those should be disabled.
Sometimes the MSN Start plugin does not follow your auto-disable and you have to check when you are editing the post. This is a bug in MSN Start (which isn’t our plugin). Make sure to toggle off the option to publish to MSN (click the MSN icon next to the publish button)
No, our plugin does not give you the ability to bulk publish posts to MSN. It’s based on you publishing posts on your WordPress site in a specific format. If you bulk publish, they will show in the feed, but our plugin does not provide you with tools to bulk publish posts.
