Essential Guides for Starting and Growing Your Small Business - Startupguys.net
StartupGuys.net is an English-language online magazine/blog that publishes practical content for very early-stage entrepreneurs, small-business owners and solo founders. Main features • Freely accessible article archive that covers idea validation, fundraising, marketing, productivity, legal & finance, home-based businesses and tech tools. • Category navigation, newsletter sign-up, on-site banner ads and guest-post submission guidelines. Target audience • Aspiring founders, side-hustlers and micro-SMB owners looking for easy-to-apply tips rather than deep-tech news. Traffic is mostly from India, US and UK according to SimilarWeb. Business model • Display advertising (Google AdSense & other ad networks) and affiliate links embedded in comparison / list posts. • Sponsored / paid guest posts are accepted (rates shown in the site’s “Write for us/Advertise” section). No subscription pay-wall. Content & posting insights (based on Ahrefs top-traffic pages + archive crawl) • Highest-performing pieces are listicles ("20+ small business ideas"), tool round-ups ("Best CRM for startups") and problem-solution how-tos ("How to get EIN for your LLC"). • Posts published Tuesday–Thursday receive the most social shares and backlinks; weekend posts show markedly lower engagement. • Optimal length 1,000-1,600 words, with keyword-rich H2s and step-by-step screenshots. What works ✓ Actionable, SEO-oriented titles ("How to … in 5 Steps"), evergreen small-biz topics, external data citations, internal linking to older guides. What to avoid ✗ Pure press-release style promotional pieces, duplicate content, over-optimised anchor text. Excessive self-promotion within guest posts leads to rejection per site policy. Other relevant details • Domain first seen 2015 (Wayback Machine). • DA (Moz) ~43; Ahrefs DR ~55, making it a mid-tier authority blog, useful for link-building. • Social presence is limited; most traffic (≈70 %) comes from organic search.
