How to Get Featured in Entrepreneur Magazine
There are a few ways to get “featured” in Entrepreneur Magazine, although as you know there’s being featured and there’s being featured. For the purposes of this blog post, when I say “featured” what I mean is “get in an Entrepreneur mag article.”
There are two main ways to get in:
As the subject of an article
As the author of articles
Notice the “s” at the end of “author of articles,” because there is no option to get in as the author of a single article.
How to Get Featured In an Entrepreneur Magazine Article
If your goal is to get into Entrepreneur so that you can say “As seen in Entrepreneur” on your website, then you only need to be in Entrepreneur once. To get into an Entrepreneur article one time is fairly straightforward, either you need to do your own PR or hire a PR firm like Canvas.
How to Write Articles for Entrepreneur Magazine
If you want to write articles for Entrepreneur, there is no one-time option. You cannot send a letter to the editor, write an op-ed, or submit a single article. Instead, you can apply and become a contributor.
If you’re going to take this route, I highly recommend you join my friend Kimanzi’s Paid to Publish Masterclass program. You’ll get the information you need to actually get into Entrepreneur’s contributor program instead of getting rejected.
But there’s a catch—unlike getting into Forbes or Inc. as a contributor, you have to pay an annual fee to write for Entrepreneur. And last I had checked, they just raised the fee from $1,000 per year to $3,000 annually!
I’m not a fan of the paid program, even though I’m in it. Note: I was in the program long before they started charging money, and when they started charging I figured $1,000/yr wasn’t so bad, and if they keep me grandfathered in I may continue to pay the $1K/yr, but I’m definitely not paying $3K/yr and I don’t think you should either. Entrepreneur doesn’t do nearly as much for your personal brand and exposure as Forbes or Inc. will, plus you can get paid for those, so…
Not everyone gets into the paid program. I’ve helped people get into Entrepreneur but I haven’t been successful every time. Given the cost, the risk of failure, and the lower benefits of being a writer for Entrepreneur, I’m inclined to recommend getting in once through PR, slapping that logo on your website, and calling it good.
