Join Our Advisory Board

EntrepreneurshipArticles.com was created with one simple idea in mind: to create a community of entrepreneurship authors, provide recognition for their contributions, and celebrate the lessons they provide through their unique articles, published here for the first time.

As this site continues to collect unique article contributions dedicated to topics that are relevant to fostering entrepreneurialism, it is becoming more and more a valuable resource and repository. We wish to recognize popular authors with an awards program, the benefit of being included in offline publications (as well as being noticed by future publishers and literary agents), and the ability to be recognized in other venues such as those we operate through our our sister site, BootstrappingStories.com. This means that when we recognize the "Bootstrapper of the Year" in a nationally publicized ceremony, we will also recognize this site's "Entrepreneurship Article Author of the Year" for his or her unique and valued contributions to the entrepreneurial community. We will also praise the contributions of several additional authors who will be recognized in the same ceremonial events and proceedings.

Each time a EntrepreneurshipArticles.com Author's submission is posted on this site, we hope that he or she will gain additional recognition and local publicity by sharing this information with media contacts in his or her community. The most recent submissions appear on our home page, and our editors--aided by a sophisticated popularity and ratings algorithm--periodically select the best articles to disseminate in other formats, such as printed publications and with the media. In short, EntrepreneurshipArticles.com is the place where authors who serve entrepreneurial dreamers and doers come to share, find new friends, and to be recognized.

Meanwhile, we could use your help. Not surprisingly, this site was conceived and created by an individual who is an entrepreneurship article author, too. In order to moderate the large volume of article submissions that we receive, we need individuals who can write, make editorial decisions, and who understand entrepreneurial challenges. Our editors might be academics, accomplished practitioners, researchers, consultants, small business development center representatives, full or part-time business writers, other individuals with writing and editing skills, or anyone who knows a good article when he or she sees it.

Meanwhile, we need the insights of a select group of Advisory Board Members. Not surprisingly, this site was conceived and created by an individual who is a bootstrapper, who has already learned one of the most important lessons of all: ask for help! Our Advisory Board Members might be academics, accomplished practitioners, researchers, consultants, or anyone who has wisdom and shares a passionate for the cause of bootstrapping, and is willing and able to provide feedback that guides overall site policies and strategy.
