After two years of being the only voice on www.succeedasyourownboss.com, I have decided to bring some new voices on small business to the world to help people end small business failure.

As of 2011, this blog will now become a daily blog on small business success.

My mission is to end small business failure and this blog is the main way I accomplish this mission.

If you are interested in writing for this blog for the exposure, here’s the criteria.

I am looking for experienced bloggers who have 1st run, orginal articles to contribute. Ideal length is 500-70 words.

I am looking for how to articles on marketing, finance/accounting, HR, social media, small business technology, customer service, solopreneurs, women business concerns, your faith & your small business. I also want articles on about the news of the day that affects small business owners i.e. small business recovery act.

Once the article has run, after 60 days you welcome to run the story on your own blog.

The pieces submitted MUST be original content.

If you are interested please submit a link blog post that you have already written and an original post that fits one the categories, and a head shot and 50 word bio of yourself to:

smallbizlady (at) gmail (dot) com. Submissions must be received by Dec 3rd.

Thank you for your interest.

      Hi there—

      I opened up this opportunity because I wanted to share my platform and give other small business experts the opportunity to spread their expertise while helping emerging and existing small business owners. I would love to consider you as a writer, but you can’t write for me anonymously.

      Be well,
      Melinda Emerson

      If you have an interest in writing for me you should send me three potential topics, the more specific the better. Also send along links to other articles you have written so I can get a sense of your skill. I publish guest blogs every Tuesday, and I am always looking for great people to join the SmallBizLady Team.
