1/7 If you& #39;re wondering how to pitch @businessinsider as a freelance writer or contributor, you can check out our ~editorial guidelines~ here! Please read this before reaching out — I& #39;ll be able to tell via your email if you haven& #39;t. https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-write-for-business-insider-2020-4">https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-wr...
2/7 We welcome pitches of personal essays, as-told-tos, diaries, profiles, how-tos, reported features, and more. Our best advice for deciding what to pitch: Read the site. Get a feel for the types of stories we run. Don& #39;t pitch stories we& #39;ve already written. Be creative.
3/7 We do not accept promotional or sponsored posts; you should always disclose any conflicts of interest.
4/7 Rates vary and are determined by a variety of factors including the amount of reporting and research involved, the length of the article, and the experience of the writer.
5/7 The pitches that grab my eye in my (very) full inbox have a clear, **BI-styled headline** — make it fun, engaging, clear, accurate. Tell me *why* it& #39;s worth a read above the many out there. Tell me *who* it& #39;s for and *how* you& #39;re going to get it right. Keep it concise.
6/7 Clips are fine, but sell me with your pitch(es)! I don& #39;t care where you& #39;ve written previously — I care what great story you can tell our readers!
7/7 I promise to respond to pitches I& #39;m really excited about. If I don& #39;t get back to you, pitch me again with a new idea. That& #39;s allowed! If you& #39;ve followed up multiple times and I haven& #39;t responded, it& #39;s most likely because it& #39;s not a good fit.
