“How much does it cost to get featured in Entrepreneur?” is one of the first questions every founder asks — and the honest answer is that there is no single price, because there is no single Entrepreneur. There are several editions and several routes in, and each one has a very different cost structure. Here is the full breakdown.
| Option | Cost | What you get | Catch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pitch a staff journalist | Free | Earned coverage, maximum prestige | Rare, slow, no control, no guarantee |
| Entrepreneur Leadership Network | ~$3,000 / year | Bylined articles under your name | You cannot promote your own business |
| Guaranteed editorial placement | From ~$1,350 per feature | A written feature on a set date, with your link | Priced per edition |
If you want a guaranteed, dated feature with a link to your site, the price depends on which edition reaches your audience. As a guide:
| Edition | Audience | Indicative price |
|---|---|---|
| Entrepreneur India | India / South Asia | from ~$1,350 |
| Entrepreneur UK | United Kingdom / Europe | ~$1,999–$2,250 |
| Entrepreneur Middle East | UAE / GCC | ~$1,999 |
| Entrepreneur Asia Pacific | Australia / APAC | ~$3,300 |
Prices move, so always check the live figure on the relevant placement page before you budget — links are below. Each one is a permanent feature, not a temporary listing.
Often, yes — but it should be small and transparent. The placement price covers getting your article published. Professional writing of the article itself is a flat $35 add-on with us, and it is entirely optional: if you have a polished draft, you can send your own at no extra cost. Be wary of agencies that bundle writing into a vague four-figure “campaign” fee without telling you what the placement alone costs.
The Entrepreneur Leadership Network looks cheap on paper — one membership, your name in lights. But it forbids promoting your own company inside your articles, so it builds personal thought-leadership rather than driving traffic or links to your product. If your goal is a feature that actually sends people to your business, the $3,000 membership is the wrong tool, and an editorial placement is usually better value despite the per-feature price.
Traditional PR agencies rarely sell a single Entrepreneur feature. They sell monthly retainers — commonly $3,000–$8,000 a month, and up to $20,000+ for full-service work — and even then the coverage is pitched, not guaranteed. You could spend a full quarter on retainer and not land Entrepreneur at all. For a single, specific outlet, pay-per-publication is almost always more cost-efficient. We compare the two models in detail in our guide on PR retainers versus pay-per-publication.
Every Entrepreneur placement page shows live pricing, turnaround and an example feature — no sales call needed.
Free via earned coverage, around $3,000 a year for the contributor network, or from roughly $1,350 per feature for a guaranteed editorial placement, depending on the edition.
For most founders, yes — a feature on a domain this authoritative is a lasting trust signal you can cite on your site, in pitches and in sales conversations. The key is matching the route to your goal so you do not overpay for the wrong thing.
Not necessarily. Professional writing is a flat $35 add-on, but you can submit your own article at no extra cost.
Entrepreneur India is typically the most affordable editorial placement, starting from around $1,350.
