Our magazine covers have featured people such as Sir Richard Branson, Arianna Huffington, Seth Godin, Tony Robbins and many more game-changing founders.

We are looking for several writers to add to our team to craft online blog content for our large audience.

We are not just looking for great writers. We are looking for people who will be able to write content that aligns with our brand voice.  We also like to publish transparent, authentic content, which means we would like our writers to have practical experience in the topics they write about.

We are looking for writers who have experience in one or more of these areas:

- Ecommerce - bonus points if you have practical experience starting and running an ecommerce store, manufacturing products and marketing your store.

- Email marketing

- Content marketing

- Securing money as an entrepreneur (investing, crowdfunding, etc.)

- Social media marketing (Instagram/Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, YouTube)

- Social advertising (Instagram/Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, YouTube)

- Copywriting

- Creating online courses and/or digital products

- Traffic and growth tactics

- Sales funnels

- Accounting and finance for entrepreneurs

If you don't have experience in these areas, but you think you can speak to our audience with your expertise, feel free to apply.
