We are looking for ACTIONABLE TIPS for entrepreneurs to use in 2022, and/or INDUSTRY TRENDS that you expect to see in your industry.
DEADLINE: NOVEMBER 30, 2021 by 5pm CT
1500 character limit (includes spaces). This will be around 210-380 words, but note the count is per character.
Important: please be sure you read all of the information below so that you understand submission requirements for this series.
You may submit more than one response, but each one must be submitted separately.
====================================
Part 1: ACTIONABLE TIP
This would not be something generic like "use social media because it's helpful" or "having an accounting system helps you be organized".
A specific and actionable tip more like "Spend 15 minutes a day engaging with followers on social media and reaching out to new prospects or connecting with peers in your industry", or what software to use for accounting or which type of accounting report an entrepreneur needs to pay the most attention to.
OR ... you may include an actionable tip for an entrepreneur's personal use, such as self care, balancing work and life, organization, etc., by selecting OTHER as the functional area below.
___________________________________________
Part 2: INDUSTRY TREND
The only exception to an actionable tip would be an "industry trend" for 2022. In this case, share one trend that you expect to see.
====================================
INCLUSION / PUBLICITY
We know how important it is for your branding, backlinks, and establishing yourself as an expert in your field to participate in this type of opportunity.
The best tips will be collected into one (or more) pieces of content - ie blog post, ebook, social media posts, video, audio. We reserve the right to edit your tip for clarity, grammar, spelling or brevity when appropriate - but we will not significantly change your submission and will keep it as true to your original as possible (while making these minor edits for the ease of reading and comprehension by our audience.
Because we realize that some tips may be very similar, we may not be able to guarantee that all responses will be included. We will do our best to include as many as possible. In some cases, if multiple people submit a very similar tip, we may edit and combine that into one article or piece of content, or one tip included in another content, and include links to all of the tip authors.
If your tip or trend needs more editing or information to make it ready for inclusion beyond a simple spelling or grammar check, we may reach out to you for more information. However, depending upon the quantity of responses, we may not be able to, which could result in your tip not being included. So please make sure that you provide your best response to make your inclusion more likely.
Guests with some of the very best information may be invited to appear on our podcast, which is syndicated to over 50 various platforms. You will receive a separate invitation via email if appropriate.

MISC
Note that your tip must be UNIQUE and copying someone else's tip or plagiarism will not be allowed. You may use information that you have shared elsewhere in the past, but please rework the content to be unique to this submission. Google tends to ignore duplicate content, and us sharing lots of duplicate content would just cause everyone to possibly have their submissions ignored, which doesn't help anyone.
We have a potential aggregated audience of approx. 200,000 entrepreneurs and SMBs. That figure will extend exponentially if those who are featured in the various content share the link on their own social media platforms, in email newsletters, etc.
We WILL include your contact information and link to website of your choice.
You may submit a tip or trend in more than one category. Each requires a separate submission.
