Hustle Inspires Hustle is read by entrepreneurs, side hustlers, creators, and small business owners — people in the middle of starting, running, and growing something. If that's who buys your product, we can put you in front of them.
Sponsored articles, listicle placements, contextual link insertions, display advertising, and podcast sponsorship. Every placement is paid, disclosed, and built to reach people who are actively making buying decisions.
Our readers are early-stage — choosing their first CRM, their first payroll provider, their first e-commerce platform. That makes them expensive to reach later and cheap to reach now.
What we cover: entrepreneurship, side hustles, productivity, e-commerce, remote work, business tools, and personal finance for founders.
A full article about your product, your category, or the problem you solve. You can write it or we can. Either way it's reviewed before it runs, and it stays live permanently.
Best for: product launches, category education, anything that needs more than a mention.
A spot in one of our existing roundup posts — pages that already rank and already get traffic. You pick the position, we handle the integration so it reads naturally alongside everything else. Available for six or twelve months.
Best for: tools and services competing in a crowded category.
A contextual mention and link added to a relevant article we've already published. The fastest option — no content to produce, no waiting.
Best for: getting in front of readers on a page that's already performing.
Banner placements inside articles, in the sidebar, or in the footer. Priced by position and availability.
Best for: sustained brand presence rather than a single placement.
Hustle Inspires Hustle is also a podcast, and it reaches the same audience in a format they give real attention to. Three ways in:
Host-read ad spot — a pre-roll or mid-roll read in Michelle's own words. Read live rather than dropped in, so it carries the trust of a recommendation instead of sounding like an ad break.
Guest appearance — a full interview episode. Best for founders and operators with a story worth an hour, not for products looking for a mention.
Episode sponsorship — your brand attached to a full episode, with reads at the top and mid-point plus a link in the show notes.
Every paid podcast placement is disclosed on-air at the start of the episode. Any link in the show notes carries a sponsored attribute, same as everything else on the site.
Every paid placement on HIH carries a rel="sponsored" attribute. That's what Google asks for on any link involved in a commercial arrangement, and we follow it.
In practice that means the link doesn't pass SEO authority to your site. What it does do:
Puts you in front of a targeted, relevant audience
Sends real referral traffic from people already reading about your category
Creates a permanent, indexed brand mention on a site in your space
Gives you a page you can point to, link to, and cite
If you're buying purely for link equity, we're not the right fit — and we'd rather say so now than after you've paid. Plenty of sites will tell you otherwise. We'd rather keep the site healthy and be straight with you.
Writing it yourself costs less than having us write it. Here's what we need.
800–1,000 words
Clear headings and short paragraphs
One to three high-quality, web-optimized images or graphics
At least two internal links to existing HIH posts
One link to your site
Original and unpublished — not spun, not AI-generated, not posted elsewhere

We're not able to take placements in these categories, in any format or framing:
We also turn down placements that don't fit our readers, even in categories we do cover. If your product isn't relevant to someone building a business, it won't perform here and we'd rather not take the money.
