The Expert Articles section of SoftwareShortlist is designed to be a valuable repository of insights, experience and advice to small and medium businesses (SMBs) about software. Everything from tips on selecting the right software through to getting the most out of your existing system, this will become a one-stop-shop where SMBs can find quality, useful articles on software.
Who should write articles?
If you provide IT or other services to companies and have experience in using software to drive real business improvement, then publishing articles for SoftwareShortlist can be a great way to raise your profile and generate leads. By sharing useful insights, you can powerfully demonstrate your expertise in the area and build interest from prospective customers.
Alternatively, you may work in a business and have practical experience in choosing, installing, modifying, or operating business software and can share insights that would benefit others who may find themselves in a similar situation. So why not help others make the right decision, and raise the profile of your business at the same time.
How does it work?
Simply write your article and submit it via this website - note that you will need to register to do this. We review all submissions and publish the best on SoftwareShortlist.com. If you are published, then the article is attributed to you as an author, and we include a space for you to have a short biography and a link to your website.
