What is a Byline for?įor marketers, bylines have a lot of potential benefits.One of the most pertinent benefits is the guest post. An exception is the column writer, who will often only write a single column in the magazine each week, month or day and will have a little byline there to explain who they are. In newspapers and magazines, these will often be at the front of the paper and on blogs they will often have their own author page.

Staff writers or regular contributes to blogs will normally not need bylines because they will have their own bios. The same could be true for a blog, in which case the byline will normally describe someone who writes occasionally or is writing as a one off – often this is used in the case of a guest post. That is to say that they contribute articles from time to time but aren’t necessarily staff writers. In these cases, the writer is normally an irregular contributor. This might go at the bottom of the article, or it might go at the top. If you read any article in a newspaper or magazine, you will often find that it includes a byline. Knowing how to use and write bylines is an important skill and one that can help you to grow your brand. This can also sometimes be used to name and describe a business, brand or organization, depending on the nature of the article and the intended purpose from a marketing standpoint.

Bylines are lines that exist in a newspaper or on a blog which name the writer of the said article.
