Conditional free route other
Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-26. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.
What the free route requires
- Free route is contributing an article — you supply publishable editorial content; there is no product-listing or 'submit your startup' form
- Secondary route: founder/CEO interview features ('SaaS Spotlight', 'CEO Insights') — pitch via the contact form, acceptance is editorial
Requirements
- A written article as a file upload (txt, docx, or pdf, max 100MB)
- Prefers new unique content; will accept pieces previously published only on the writer's own personal blog — NOT pieces run on other business/enterprise blogs
- Author details: name, email, company, company bio, position
- A justification of why the piece is valuable to SaaS entrepreneurs
- Read the full submission-guidelines page before drafting — non-compliance is grounds for rejection
Prepare before opening the form
- A finished article draft in txt/docx/pdf on a SaaS-business topic (growth, pricing, metrics — not a product advert)
- Company bio and author position for the byline
- Accompanying images (jpg/jpeg/png ≤100MB) if any
- A preferred publish date
- For interview angles: founder availability + a story hook
Workflow
- Read https://www.saasmag.com/submission-guidelines/ for style rules
- Write the article to spec and export as docx/txt/pdf
- Open https://www.saasmag.com/contributions/ and complete the form including the file upload
- For a founder-feature instead of an article, pitch via https://www.saasmag.com/contact-us/
- Wait for editorial review; no tracking is provided
Watch for
- This is a publication, not a directory — 'getting listed' means getting an article or interview published
- Content rule: pieces that ran on other business blogs are rejected; only personal-blog republication is allowed
- Overt product promotion will likely be rejected — write for their audience of SaaS operators
- Copyright footer says 2024 but content is current (2026 articles live) — site is active despite the stale footer
What counts as live
The contributed article or interview is published on saasmag.com under a topic section (Business, SaaS Spotlight, Growth Hacks, etc.) with the company mentioned in the byline/content
Not verified
- Review turnaround and whether they notify on rejection
- Whether contributor articles carry dofollow links
- Whether SaaS Spotlight interviews are editorial-only or can be sponsored
