With regards to your query on submitting content for our Shopify Blog, anyone can apply to contribute to the Shopify blog and we carefully consider each pitch based on its merit and how well it fits our audience's needs.

3. We’ll consider the original content ideas you include in your pitch, but will also work with you to suggest related ideas or other angles we think would provide more value to our readers based on your expertise.
4. Once we’ve agreed on a topic and rate, we'll commit to a timeline of 3-weeks from pitch to publish and set a due date for the first draft.
5. Once you’ve completed your first draft, we’ll provide feedback and edits to ensure it's polished and fit to publish. If you didn’t submit a bio and headshot in your application, we’ll get these from you now. 
6. We’ll then lock in a publish date and notify you by email when your content is live, along with instructions on how to get paid.

As an alternative, you are more than welcome to post your thoughts here in the Community and start your conversation with fellow merchants and partners that way.

Hi Daniel. How does a brand get included in an existing Shopify Blog?

Hi there, Michael! 

Happy to see your interest in getting featured or contributing to the Shopify Blog.

Please refer to my initial response in this thread as it outlines all the steps to pitch your company to our team. My initial response also has all the links necessary for you to do so. 

Let me know if you need any further help regarding this matter.

Yo, fellow e-commerce hustlers! As an IT student, I gotta say, getting featured on Shopify's blog is a big deal! It's like winning the lottery, but for online sellers. It means you've made it big in the game, and your store is poppin'! But to make it happen, you gotta be a boss at leadership. You gotta have a vision for your store, inspire others with your products, and communicate your brand story like a pro. So, keep grinding and don't give up, fam. Who knows, maybe you'll be the next one to get featured on Shopify's blog and blow up your sales!
