Editorial Content and Policies

Our mission is to help smaller ecommerce merchants

Our editorial mission is to help ecommerce merchants grow and prosper. We do this with easy-to-follow articles, blogs, podcasts and newsletters, all delivered electronically.

Our companion site, EcommerceDeveloper.com, publishes specialized content for developers, designers and programmers of ecommerce sites. We encourage you to visit Ecommerce Developer if your interest is related to that audience.

Editorial Calendar

Our content is mostly planned around one-time feature stories and recurring departments that address a certain topic. The mix of our content periodically changes based on the needs of our merchant audience and on new developments that can impact them. We closely manage our content, but we do not publish a public editorial calendar.

Become an Expert Source

If you or your client possess expertise helpful to smaller ecommerce merchants, we encourage you to enter your contact and biographical information into our editorial database. Our editorial staff uses this source for researching stories, including background help and public on-the-record quotations. Become an expert source. >

Write or Blog For Us

We are always looking for quality contributors who can genuinely help ecommerce merchants. If you have a topic or idea that fits this criteria, we encourage you to Contact Us. In doing so, please know:

1. We do not publish press releases;
2. Our audience is mainly smaller ecommerce merchants;
3. If we were to publish an article about your company or service, we would likely include the views of other individuals and companies in your industry;
4. We avoid promotional pieces;
5. We do not publish one-time contributed articles.

Consider Our Directory

Our directory is a terrific way to obtain exposure for a firm who offers products and services to ecommerce merchants. Basic listings are free, and thousands of merchants look there for vendors to help them. So, if your editorial interest is in obtaining exposure for a firm or product, you might look to our directory first.

Take a Course

Our live, online courses are short (two hours) and taught by leading ecommerce experts. The courses address topics that ecommerce merchants — and those that serve ecommerce merchants — need to understand. If you like our articles and podcasts, you'll really like our courses. If you're a vendor to ecommerce merchants, consider offering our courses to your merchant clients. You will help them improve their ecommerce skills, and you'll make affiliate commissions in the process.
