Free route directory
Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-26. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.
Requirements
- No stated eligibility rules, pricing, or editorial criteria on the submit page
- Site is Hisham Sarwar's Pakistani freelancing/tech blog; submissions land under the Startups category
- Form asks for a phone number — a real contactable identity is expected
Prepare before opening the form
- Startup title and a details/description blurb
- A startup image (the form has an image upload field)
- Full name, website URL, email, and phone number
Workflow
- Open https://beingguru.com/submit-startup/
- Fill Startup Title, Startup Details, upload a Startup Image
- Enter Full Name, Website, Email, Phone and submit
- Submissions are reviewed editorially; accepted startups appear under the site's Startups category
Watch for
- The batch's /submit-startu URL was truncated — the live route is /submit-startup/
- This is a personal blog's contact-style form, not a structured directory; no public listing criteria or turnaround is stated
- The site heavily promotes freelancing courses and hosting affiliates; the startups feature is a side channel
- Don't expect a canonical 'directory listing' — acceptance likely means a blog post or category mention
What counts as live
A post or entry naming the submitted startup appears under https://beingguru.com/category/startups/
Not verified
- Whether submissions get a dedicated post or just a mention
- Editorial turnaround and acceptance rate
- Whether published mentions include a followed link back to the startup's website
