Write for the Grasshopper Blog
Interested in writing for the Grasshopper Blog? Great! We’re excited to have you. If you’ve got great insights for entrepreneurs, marketers and small business owners, check out our guidelines and follow the steps below.
The Guidelines
- Each post needs to be 100% original and written by you. You’re the expert, after all.
- Your post cannot be previously published anywhere else.
- Posts should be 1200-2000 words and focus on actionable marketing advice for small businesses and startups. If readers can find all the stuff you’re saying elsewhere, it’s not a fit.
- We like a friendly, down-to-earth style and tone.
- We will not publish promotional content.
- We will not accept ghost written content — attribution will always go to the person who wrote the article.
- We will allow you 1 link to your social media profiles, blog, and or company website on your author page. We reserve the right to remove any links.
- Any post you submit may undergo some edits and changes by our team.
- After 2 rounds of edits, if we feel the post does not meet our guidelines, we reserve the right to reject it. At this point, you are free to use the article any way you see fit.
