Article Submission Guidelines
Thanks for your interest in contributing content to MoreBusiness.com. We do accept editorial content in a way similar to how sites like Medium and Forbes Business Council distribute contributed content to their readers.
We accept only educational business content that is written for small business owners. We do not accept content directed at consumers. Please watch the 60-second video below for details and follow our article guidelines. Thank you!
How to Submit Your Content
In order for your article to be considered for publishing, please be sure to contact us using our online form on this page with your proposed topic. Our team will reply with details on the submission process and review fees, which cover our editorial staff’s time to review your submission.
Please note that we are not able to provide editorial review services for free or at discounted rates due to the large volume of submissions we receive each week.
Please Follow ALL of These Guidelines
Acceptable Content
- Important: please only submit educational business content on:
- marketing
- sales
- business planning
- leadership
- All other types of content will be declined.
- We do not accept content related to CBD, gambling, casinos, forex, crypto, or investing even if these topics are written for a business owner in such fields. Your content must meet Google’s E-E-A-T guidelines.
- DO NOT SUBMIT press releases or introductory articles like “How to Start a Business,” “How to Build a Website,” How to Market Your Business,” or other basic generic content.
- DO SUBMIT deeper articles on a specific business topic like “How to Find Your First 10 Accounting Clients,” “10 Time-Tested Website Call-to-Action Examples,” “Coach’s Guide to Creating 10 Social Media Posts Per Week in 1 Hour.”
- BE SPECIFIC. Include examples. The more specific your topic, the higher its likelihood to get accepted by our editorial team.
