THE PRESS LOVE THE ENTREPRENEUR DIRECTORY
Searching through our directory is super easy. It gives easy access to your headshot, your company logo, product via Just Debuted, links of where to find you, your bio, your company description, everything. It's a direct link to find out more about you - quickly.

HOW TO GET INTO THE ENTREPRENEUR DIRECTORY
1. Fill out your personal profile.
Log in, then click on "Your Account" on the right hand side. Then click on the "Account Settings" tab to put up your picture, bio, and add links of where to find you to your hearts content. These are all SEO friendly, so they do count as links pointing to your website.

If you have more than one business, or if you have a blog or other destination, upload these as different Companies, as they EACH get a listing in the Entrepreneur Directory.
