Description: I am seeking help building content for a site on parenting for busy moms. This is, essentially, a MomWiki, so experience editing wiki pages is helpful but not necessary.

Since it is a startup, my budget is limited. But my goal is to have this site earn enough to help other moms afford to work from home or at least supplement their income nicely by writing for me.
I am a freelance writer myself, so I would prefer to pay a much higher rate per article than this. Believe me.

I will ultimately have a stable of regular contributors, and will look first to people who are already writing for the site. I would like to eventually have section editors (for example, in areas like mothers of multiples or working from home). While this project is for a range of topics to populate the page, if you have a particular area of expertise please let me know that for the future.

What you are bidding on:
* I want 20 articles that are optimized, all original content, 400 words each and targeting popular parenting keyword phrases. I can come up with these phrases, but I'm also open to your article ideas because personally I think it is much more fun to write about a subject that interests me. Let me know if you're also willing to find a relevant royalty-free stock photo (from a site like stock.xchng or similar) to add to each article. That is a bonus, but not a requirement.
* I want someone who has skills writing for SEO while still retaining verve and voice. You must understand writing style for Web, and your articles should incorpoate headers, internal links and/or bullets for ease of reading online.
* I would much prefer people who are personally parents or grandparents, or trying to conceive or expecting, so state whether you are or are not. The whole angle to the site is that moms don't just visit, but also contribute, so this is pretty key.
* I want 10 forum posts. These can be anywhere in the forum, and on any topic, somewhere in the 100-word range but that is flexible. I'd just like to stir up some discussion.
* I want 10 comments posted to articles and/or wiki pages. I don't care about word length, just maybe a graph or two to add to the article in some way. (For example, if it's a page on breastfeeding, adding a tip or two would be ideal).
* I am seeking exclusive Web rights, so you could immediately sell the same articles to print markets. I just don't want to see these articles elsewhere online, but as a writer I feel it's important for writers to retain the copyright to their work.
* I will pay on publication of all of the above and just a quick check that the submissions meet the criteria, which will be quickly because you will submit content directly on the site itself.
* When you create a profile on my site and articles, you will automatically get a link which can go directly to your own Web site. You can also create a user page which can link to your site and highlight details about you and your services. I'm also open to suggestion for other ways I can help you promote yourself if you write for my site.

You can see some examples at http://www.typeamom.net/wiki , which lists some of the general topic areas I want to cover now (just note that some articles and wiki pages are incomplete as of now). Here are a couple existing articles or wiki pages:
http://www.typeamom.net/wiki/tiki-index.php?page=Infant+care
http://www.typeamom.net/wiki/tiki-read_article.php?articleId=2
http://www.typeamom.net/wiki/tiki-index.php?page=NICU

If you have any questions, feel free to send me a private message. I'd like to see at least 2-3 writing samples, and hear about your experience as a writer, with SEO and as a parent.

Thanks!

Hi I was excited to learn that you are seeking someone to write SEO optimized articles on parenting and similar women's issues. A Mum of two (son aged 8 years, daughter aged 11 months) I have a professional background of twelve years as a fully qualified college lecturer in Sociology, English and Creative Writing with a Masters Degree in Social Sciences and I have for the past five years had a substantial freelance writing and copy-editing/proofreading career alongside this. My success at writing and editing has enabled me to now make the freelance writing, copy-editing and proofreading my sole career: something which was always my dream, Now I’ve made it my reality. I have experience of writing in a wide variety of styles, as my portfolio shows – academic report writing; books and e-books, novels and short stories as well as articles on an informative but more informal style than traditional academic writing. I have submitted and edited Wiki articles before as part of my writing experience. My creative writing style is usually one of quirky, dry humor and eternal optimism, portraying strong characterization and ideas. I love writing in different styles and on different topics, adapting my style to suit the topic and audience. I deliver quality work on time and on budget, ensuring that your projects remain on schedule and I will always keep you informed and be responsive to your requirements and preferences. I have successfully completed the internationally renowned Chapterhouse Proofreading and Copy Editing course. I have also sent you samples of some articles I have written. I am happy to provide royalty free images with my articles for you if you wish. I look forward to corresponding with you about this exciting project. Your sincerely, Jane Buckley BA, PGCE, MA (Soc.Sc.) - Guru.com Professional

While I'm sure I can complete the work sooner, I always like to allow ample time. I have three children and one step-child, ranging in ages from 3 to 14. I work at home as a writer and proofreader, so this project is "art imitating life" for me.
