Write for Us
For companies whose software or service a small business can start on for little and keep using once it grows.
Last updated
The Idea Mechanic publishes partner articles and product reviews on Side Hustles, Validation, Starting Up, Marketing, Selling, Money, Software and Growing. The best fit is something a first-time owner has to choose and pay for: a store builder, a formation service, a business bank account, accounting software, an email platform or CRM, or an automation tool that gives hours back.
We don’t run pieces that promise income, pitch “passive income”, promote trading platforms or merchant cash advances, or give tax or legal advice in a partner’s name.
How it works
- We price it the way a reader would: the first month, a year later, and when the free plan is enough.
- We use it on a real task first, and say what worked, what didn’t and who should skip it.
- You read it before it goes live, and can correct a price, a plan name or a feature, but not the verdict.
