Editors reject thinly disguised advertising. We find the genuine story inside your business — a milestone, a data point, a contrarian take — and build the piece around it.

The short answer
How do you get featured in Entrepreneur?
The most founder-friendly door in business media.
Entrepreneur speaks directly to founders, operators and small-business owners, which makes it unusually well matched to the people who most often want press. It is a Tier 2 title by price and a Tier 1 title by relevance if your customer is another business owner.
It also runs the Entrepreneur Leadership Network, a paid membership programme where approved members publish their own articles. That is a legitimate and useful product — but a member byline and an editorial feature are different assets, and you should know which one you are buying.
Where Entrepreneur beats bigger names
If you sell to small and mid-sized businesses, an Entrepreneur feature frequently outperforms a more expensive national logo, because the readers are your actual buyers rather than a general audience. Spend the difference on a second placement instead of a bigger badge.
The routes
Every way into Entrepreneur, compared
Four doors. They are not equally open, and they do not cost the same.
| Route | What it takes | Realistic timeline | Typical cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Editorial pitch | A newsworthy hook and a credible voice. Most pitches go unanswered. | 3–12 months, or never | Free — or a $5k–$25k/mo retainer |
| Entrepreneur Leadership Network | Application and approval, then you write your own posts under a programme byline. | 4–10 weeks to approval | Roughly $2,000–$5,000 per year |
| Sponsored / partner content | A labelled commercial arrangement with the publisher’s studio. | 4–12 weeks | Five figures, campaign-based |
| Guaranteed placement | You approve the outlet and the draft; it runs on a committed date. | 7–21 days | Quoted flat, all-in |
A strong Tier 2 placement your buyers actually read beats a Tier 1 logo they scroll past. Full market ranges in what press placements cost
What we do
What a Entrepreneur placement includes
A finished asset you can use the day it publishes.
Full drafting
Our writers produce the article to Entrepreneur’s house style and length. You are not handed a template to fill in.
Your approval
You read the draft, adjust the headline, the quotes and the framing, and sign off. Nothing publishes unseen.
A committed date
Most placements publish 7 to 21 days after you approve the draft.
Permanent editorial URL
The article lives on entrepreneur.com with the masthead above it — indexed, citable, and yours to link to forever.
Leverage plan
Exactly where to put the logo, how to work it into your deck, your bio and your ad creative so one article earns more than one impression.

Why it matters
What a Entrepreneur feature actually does for you
The four things clients tell us changed after publication.
It ends the credibility argument
Buyers, investors and partners stop asking whether you are real. The masthead does the work before your first slide.
It owns your name in search
A high-authority article ranks and stays ranked — the fastest way to put something credible at the top of page one.
AI engines cite it
ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews lean on established publications when summarising a brand. This gives them a source to quote about you.
It travels into documents
Decks, data rooms, petitions, award submissions, speaker applications. One article gets reused for years.

Straight answers
Entrepreneur placement FAQ
Including the parts other agencies skip.
How much does an Entrepreneur feature cost?
A guaranteed editorial placement is quoted flat and all-in for your specific angle — call or text (855) 580-0099 for a figure. Entrepreneur Leadership Network membership is roughly $2,000 to $5,000 per year and requires approval.
What is the Entrepreneur Leadership Network?
A paid, vetted membership programme where approved members publish their own articles under a network byline. It is legitimate and can be good value for consistent publishing, but the byline reads as member content rather than independent editorial coverage.
Is Entrepreneur worth it compared to Forbes?
If your customers are small and mid-sized business owners, frequently yes — the readership is your actual buyer. If you need a household-name logo for investors or consumers, Forbes or USA Today does more. We will tell you which applies.
How long does it take?
Guaranteed placements typically publish within 7 to 21 days of your approval.
Do you place in international editions?
Yes. Entrepreneur licenses regional editions that typically cost less than the US edition and can be the right call for regional audiences or immigration cases.
Do I approve the article first?
Always, before anything goes live. Revisions are included.
How do I get started?
Call or text (855) 580-0099 or use our contact form for a straight assessment and a flat price.
