This program is designed to help authors, professional speakers, consultants, and content experts to get valuable exposure in the trade association and professional society (membership organizations) market. It is an awesome opportunity for you to access trade association editors…the easy way…through Ed. This is primarily an offer of article distribution via collaboration.

If you would you like to partner with Ed Rigsbee in producing an article…

Ed will be responsible for…

  • Title

  • Opening positioning statement

  • Closing call to action statement

You will be responsible for…

  • 5-7 bullet points in the middle…the actual content; 600-700 words.


You will get first author position and Ed will take second…both in byline and ending bios.

Ed will email the collaborative article to his list of 3,000 association editors and executives and post on at his web site. You can do the same.

The article must be written with business owners, CEOs, and other business leaders in mind…and solve one of the basic pain areas: i.e. productivity, leadership, sales, marketing, change management, innovation, communication, supervision, HR, supply chain, procurement, etc. 

The fee is $500 per article co-authored and distributed.  (Rigsbee event alumni see below.)

  1. After your above purchase of for a single article co-authorship and distribution…
  2. Send Ed an email notice to ed@rigsbee.com or call at 805-498-5720 to proceed.
  3. Think about a list or additional resources, eBook, MP3, etc. (further information on your article topic) you might have available for the ultimate reader to request at no charge. This will enable a direct communication between you and your reader.
  4. Once Ed receives your 5-7 bullet points (600-700) words he will create the article title, opening, and closing call to action (for your additional resources) and forward it back to you.
  5. You will review and offer any additional edits.
  6. When you and Ed are both happy with the article, he will put it into his cue for distribution. It’s that simple.

  • This is not a coaching program
