Editorial Mission

The Bootstrap Blog shares news about the bootstrap community updated by Contributors who post directly to the blog.

It is also a place where Bootstrap members can share their expertise and bootstrap journey. We have found that when bootstrappers share their story with others, they lock in their own learning. And communicating through various social media is a requirement for any bootstrap entrepreneur.

When you write for the Bootstrap Blog, we will cross-post your articles on BD Tech Daily and Austin Entrepreneur Network.

Steps to Get your Post on the Bootstrap Blog

  1. Pick a date from the calendar below and send an email to: jason AT abdmag DOT com - you will get an email from Jason confirming your date.
  2. Send Jason your blogpost the DAY BEFORE your date. See earlier posts by members below if you need some inspiration
  3. Jason will edit your blog and it will be posted on the Bootstrap Blog, AEN Network and tweeted on @bootstrapaustin
