Contribute to GSA Growth.

Who We Are Looking For

If you want to write for us, know this: we are not looking for content writers. We are looking for operators — people who have actually built online businesses, run Shopify stores, managed Meta ads, handled GST filings, or scaled a D2C brand in India. Your experience is your credential.

What We Accept

• How-to guides — Step-by-step, minimum 1,500 words, actionable and specific
• Tool reviews and comparisons — Honest assessments based on real usage
• Case studies — Real data, real results, real lessons
• India-specific ecommerce insights — GST, logistics, COD, RTO, D2C brand building
• Business strategy articles — Frameworks and systems, not motivation

Our Editorial Standards

• Original content only — no AI-generated fluff, no spun or republished articles
• All claims must be backed by data, citations, or first-hand experience
• Practical and actionable — readers must be able to implement your advice immediately
• No self-promotional content or thinly veiled advertisements
• Clear, simple English — no jargon for the sake of sounding smart
• Minimum 1,200 words for standard articles, 2,000+ for comprehensive guides

What Contributors Can Expect

• A byline with your full name and a 2-3 sentence author bio
• One relevant external reference may be included when it genuinely helps the reader; link type and placement are decided editorially
• A byline beside practical work read by Indian and global online-business operators
• Accepted articles are reviewed periodically and may be updated or removed if they no longer meet our standards

Topics We Cover

We focus on first-hand experience that helps founders make better decisions. Our core categories include:

• Shopify and ecommerce setup and scaling
• Indian D2C operations: GST, COD, logistics and RTO
• SEO, content, email and paid-acquisition experiments
• Search Console, analytics and practical measurement
• Business systems tied to a real operating experience

What We Do Not Accept

• Casino, gambling, adult, or cryptocurrency content
• Content targeting audiences outside our niche
• Press releases or product announcements
• Articles already published elsewhere (including your own blog)
• AI-written content submitted as human-written
• Link-first pitches, paid placements or keyword-rich anchor-text requests
• Affiliate inserts or promotional copy disguised as editorial advice

Why Contribute to GSA Growth

GSA has published 40+ in-depth guides on ecommerce, SEO and online business. We select contributions for first-hand evidence, reader usefulness and editorial fit — not for the backlink opportunity. Publication is reviewed, not guaranteed.
