Open Call for Regular Contributors!

A few weeks back, I put a call out to members who were interested in becoming regular, featured contributors. We asked for a few examples and links to their blogs. Unfortunately, the sheer magnitude of the Holiday Catalog got in the way.

Now, let's get this project back on track!

To become a featured contributor to TwitterMoms, you must:

Be willing to commit to write a blog post or a thought-provoking discussion topic once a week.
Have a blog of your own.
Have some professional writing experience, whether it's related to your career, school or previous job.
Be opinionated, but fair and agenda-free.
Focus on topics that offer resources, ideas and a little entertainment for your fellow members.
Avoid self-promotion.

We are looking for people to spearhead blogs and discussions on the following topics:

Web 2.0 and social media news, tools, tips, tricks and more
Marketing (tips on how to monetize your blog, marketing, and PR advice)
Crafting (tips on crafting, lessons, suggestions, etc)
Parenting (pregnancy, raising kids, homeschooling, tips on discipline)
Home (recipes, cooking, gardening, entertaining)
Travel (family travel suggestions, advice and tips)
Beauty and Health (nutrition, exercise, skin care tips, fashion advice, shopping tips)
TMOTW (write a weekly blog that features profiles of an interesting, notable or outstanding member)

The benefits to you:

Increase traffic to you blog (you can include a link to your blog in every post on TwitterMoms and in your Author's Bio.)
Become a recognized expert in an area you're passionate about. Make friends and fans.
Generate qualified leads for your business (even though you will be writing non-promotional material, people will get to know you and your business just by reading your advice and tips - you will be seen as a resource in your area of expertise.)

If interested, please fill out this very short form and I'll get back to you very soon this time! The deadline for submissions is midnight PST on December 19.

Thank you!

Megan

Thank you for this opportunity! My application has been submitted.

Comment by A Modern Mother on December 15, 2008 at 5:29am: Hi, I'd love to help out. My blog is A Modern Mother, and I have several community blogs as well.

How about the weekly profile?

Writing is about the only thing I can do (journalism and marketing background...)

Comment by Wendey Tackett on December 12, 2008 at 7:32pm: Thanks for the opportunity Megan!

Comment by Rachel Leventhal on December 12, 2008 at 6:59pm: Kimberly, I agree with Cindy! If you want to do it, you can make it happen!

Comment by Cindy Schulson on December 10, 2008 at 3:32pm: Kimberly - don't shortchange yourself. Go ahead and apply. I'm willing to bet we would have a lot to learn from you. I'm going to fill out the form myself. Best wishes,
Cindy

Comment by Kimberly on December 10, 2008 at 5:25am: WOW! You ladies just blew me out of the water. I was going to apply, but after reading about all your wonderful writing accomplishments there is no way I can compete with anything you have all done. I'm just a freelance writer. I've had a few successful articles used online, but, nothing spectacular.

Kudos to all your wonderful accomplishments ladies. You are certainly an inspiration to "wannabes" like me.

Comment by Pauline Baird Jones on December 9, 2008 at 10:00am: Would you consider adding a topic? None of these topics excite my muse, but I have been "into" writing a lot about refilling your well. Also how do mom's recharge and cope/adapt to the changes that come as kids grow up and leave home.
