Writing for Parenting Publications

© 2009 Kris Bordessa, Teri Cettina, Jeannette Moninger

Your kids are an endless source of funny stories and often inspire you to get creative about your parenting skills. So why not share these stories and ideas with other parents, and earn some extra money at the same time?

Kris Bordessa, Teri Cettina and Jeannette Moninger, successful freelance writers who contribute to national magazines like FamilyFun, Parents, Parenting, and Real Simple Family, recently released a how-to e-book. Cash in on Your Kids: Parenting Queries that Worked, is a guidebook for parents interested in learning more about working as freelance parenting writers.

Here, they answer some common questions about freelance writing:

Is parenting writing something I can do part time or on a flexible schedule?

Absolutely! However, when you need to do an uninterrupted telephone interview or a deadline is looming, it’s smart to have a back-up plan: A neighborhood babysitter, a supportive fellow mom, or a drop-in after-school program that will watch your kids while you work.

Can I write about my own kid or my personal parenting experience?

Often, yes. But first study the magazine you’re pitching to see whether they use first-person anecdotes in their stories (i.e., “When my child was 2, he shoved a penny up his nose…”). If they don’t structure stories that way, craft your pitch accordingly. And remember: Even if you write about your family’s experience, you’ll still need to provide research and/or advice from experts.

Do I need to be a professional writer to break into writing about parenting and kids?

Not necessarily. However, before you write for national newsstand magazines, you must have “clips,” or samples of other articles you’ve had published. Weekly or monthly community newspapers are often open to new writers, as are regional parenting publications.

What should I send an editor: A completed article or just a proposal?

Most editors want to see a proposal (a “query”) before they decide whether to assign an article to you. The exception is an essay–a first-person account of an event, without interviews or quotes from experts. Editors prefer to see completed essays before they decide whether they’ll publish them.

How do I learn more about publications that run parenting articles?

Start with The Writer’s Market (www.writersmarket.com). You can pay a monthly fee for the online version, or see if your library carries the book. Cash in on Your Kids: Parenting Queries that Worked also lists American publications that accept parenting articles, along with e-mail codes for reaching editors.

How much can I make writing about parenting and kids?

Local parenting publications pay less than national magazines but writing for them is a great way to develop a portfolio of your work. These “clips,” as they’re called, are crucial if you want to break into larger, better-paying magazines. National magazines—like Parents and Parenting—pay anywhere from $250 for a short item in the front or back of the magazine to more than $3,000 for longer features.

For more tips on writing for parenting publications, along with samples of actual writers’ queries, read Cash in on Your Kids: Parenting Queries that Worked (lulu.com or http://tinyurl.com/d5h8fv).

Personalized Coaching with a Difference

What Is the Personalized Guidance Program?

It is a system designed and written specifically for you to address any challenges you are facing with applying the law of attraction to your life.

Why You Need It?

The movie ‘The Secret’ popularized the law of attraction but the movie is only a basic introduction to the law of attraction. For this reason many people are failing to apply the principals successfully to their lives. Our personalized guidance program will help you to overcome any challenges you are facing by supplying you with a complete and focused system.

What Makes It Different?

This system is totally unique because each system is created individually. When you order your Personalized Guidance Program you will not receive some standardized, pre-written, generic ebook, you will receive a system that has been generated just for you, with your specific challenges and goals in mind.

This program is not written for everyone, it is written for Only one!

Latest Articles
Ponder That For A Moment

IThese are the famous although not last words of physicist Fred Alan Wolf in the movie “What The Bleep Do We Know.” I had to laugh, when coming to the end of the movie, the cameraman zoomed in on Mr. Wolf and with a cheeky little smile he leaned into the camera and said ‘ponder that for a moment’ I laughed because it was such an understatement after watching the movie.

The Secrets To Manifesting Your Desires

Actually there is no big secret to manifesting your desires. There is merely a process to follow. My shortened version of this process is Ask – Believe – Release – Receive.
Ask – In order to manifest your desires you must ask for what you want and you must also have a clear and precise knowledge of what it is that you want.

Show The World Your True Self
When you look at your body what do you see? Do you think positive or negative thoughts about yourself? Perhaps you think that you are too short or too tall, too thin or to stout, maybe you wish that you were prettier or that your nose was smaller or breasts bigger.All of us have looked at ourselves at some time or another and only seen the alleged faults.

How To Be Surrounded By Illness Without Effect
On my blog I once talked about my experience with attracting to myself a rather nasty cold and the method I used to attract good health. During the first two days of my cold while I was still focusing on the cause instead of working on a solution. I wandered if it was possible to be surrounded by people who were ill and not have it effect your life.

“Law of Attraction Tips”
Missing Ingredient Coaching has produced a series of ‘how to’ reports that are aimed at giving you manageable amounts of information to help you understand the law of attraction and master the manifestation process. Each month a new report will be added to the site so make sure you check back often to find out what is new. Here are the first reports to get you started.
Feeling Good
If you start to feel good the universe will immediately begin aligning itself to bring you your desires and as long as you maintain that feeling it is possible that everything you want will show up in your life with lightening speed.

Price: $17.00
Passion for Life
The purpose of this report is to offer you the knowledge and skills you need to discover what it is that you are truly passionate about and find a way to turn that passion into a life-long rewarding career.

Price: $17.00
Powerful Affirmations
There are many websites online that offer lists of affirmations for people to use but very few that actually talk people through writing affirmations. It is my hope to address that imbalance with this report.

Price: $27.00

More Coming Soon
Please check back as more reports will be added to the site soon.

imagination circles and rocks

imagination circles and rocks

Photo by Mary MacIntyre

Writing has enthralled me since I was 7 years old. My second grade teacher introduced me to poetry and that’s when I began to write. I was so curious, I kept writing more poems that day, and she finally said,”Go back to writing normal now, Mary”.

In High school I discovered Ray Bradbury. I had read little Science Fiction at that itme. He opened another door to imagination and the well crafted word. We can travel so far in these these realms.

I found this video intriguing. Please listen to his story. How often we let ourselves be defeated by not floolowing through, or lack of persistancy. Perhaps you are the next Ray Bradbury. Perhaps you are the next great book reviewer. Whatever your dream: embellish it. Pursue it.

Each time you have completed a project, be proud. Send it out and share with friends. Cherish it. We can now publish online, and let the world see our works. Who knows whom you may inspire. Could you also double stories sold per year?

I tell you it feels good to be paid for my writing. It feels better to be able to prioritize time to write. I can expand these skills in so many directions. I can reach out to you and others and be supportive on your journeys. Do send me your words. Your dreams. However, most of all write! Contact me here or at twitter.com/Makkinart

Jack Humphrey on blogging as a niche profession

Celebrating life!  photo by Mary MacIntyre

Celebrating life! photo by Mary MacIntyre

I love sharing some of my readings. http://www.jackhumphrey.com/fridaytrafficreport/ When markets open up for writers, I want to sahre the good news. I expect many folks from all levels of writing show up here. Some may think they are above blogging, others may doubt the efficacy of the platform. Jump aboard this ship folks and create your own new adventure. Everyone can benefit from blogging.

The 2009 Blog Money Guide
The 2009 Blog Money Guide Page 9
Blogging Ideas for Different Industries and Niches
One of the most common questions I get is “How can a blog help with with my (interest,
current business)?”
Another common question is what usually follows “Can I make (some or more) money by
blogging in (some specific) niche market?”
I give you several examples below how blogging can drastically increase cash flow, gigs,
branding, traffic, search engine rankings, and lead to opportunities and connections you might
otherwise never dream of achieving.
Affiliates
Most bloggers make the most money from affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing is where you
sign up to become a registered affiliate of a product or service. When you send traffic to
recommended products or services through your affiliate link, the resulting sales earn you a
commission.
Affiliate marketing can be done in every market that has a significant base of interest from
web surfers. And it is the easiest way for people to get started making money with their blogs
with no product or their own and not enough traffic to attract big advertisers. (Yet!)
So if you don’t have a profession, service, or product of your own to promote, this will be how
you get started making money with your blog. I have a special section on affiliate marketing
with your blog in this guide, and a video you should watch that gets to the heart of exactly
how bloggers make the most money with affiliate programs.
Writers
The biggest reason most writers don’t get into blogging isn’t their fear of writing. It’s their
fear of the technology and a misunderstanding as to how easy blogging has gotten in the
last couple of years. Yet nothing is better suited to showcasing your writing talent online than
a blog.
If you are a writer looking for writing jobs, making connections with publishers, or simply
wanting to get paid for writing on your own terms (through advertising on your blog or several
other monetization methods) having a professional blog will put you in an entirely different
playing field.
For writers, a blog is an in depth resume, portfolio, and business card. It is where you
The 2009 Blog Money Guide
The 2009 Blog Money Guide Page 10
attract a following, generate buzz, and make it much harder for people to ignore you (such as
publishers, editors, or people looking for freelance writers).
Authors
Much the same as above. Authors are artists more than they are geeks. But needing to be
a geek is just the stigma attached to blogging rather than the reality. Many authors now use
blogs to keep in touch with their readers and further monetize their popularity.
It’s no secret most authors don’t get rich by writing a book and getting on Amazon and
Barnes and Noble bookshelves. Today, authors who blog are doing really creative things to
generate revenue for themselves out of the following they gain from their books.
Would-be authors have an easier time getting published if they can point to all their
followers and fans on their blog when pitching publishers.
Speakers
You need speaking gigs. The best thing you could do to increase your notoriety and value
as a speaker among the event coordinators in your market is to showcase your talent with a
blog. It really sets you apart from your competitors because most have not and will not take
the time and energy to put together such a presence online.
If you want event coordinators to really take notice of your skills, put together a blog with
some decent original content and any videos from previous speaking gigs to showcase your
talent. You will get more speaking jobs with a great blog!
Coaches/Consultants
You need an easy way to showcase your value as an expert in your field to attract new
clients. There isn’t an easier way to do this and land far more clients than with a blog.
You attract leads with your content, impress them with your deep well of knowledge in your
market, and groom your readers to become perfect clients. (We all know what its like to get
bad leads, and worse, take on problem clients who haven’t been fully vetted!)
Your blog lays out who you are, what you do, and sets the stage to attract the ideal clients
you’d like to work with.
Service Providers
Bob Parsons, owner of Godaddy.com, has a popular blog. There’s nothing more straight
forward than a domain registrar. So why blog? Because he attracts far more domain buyers

About the Author
I’m Jack Humphrey, and I used to be right
where you are now. Maybe not the same
circumstances you’re in exactly, but at one point
all I wanted (and absolutely needed) was to call
my own shots with my own business.
I needed something to pay the bills and
provide me the lifestyle that I KNEW was
available to me if I could just figure out what to
do, who to trust, and who to follow to help me
get there. A big part of my last few years of
success has come from professional blogging.
Here’s what qualifies me to help you today: I’ve been online professionally (making
money) since 1998. I’ve written several guides and books on internet marketing topics
focused on search engine optimization, link building, and social marketing and networking.
I have a blog that makes 5 figures per month in a small niche market. My entire business,
with training centers and consulting included is a multi-million dollar empire.
I work with and have interviewed a large number of very successful bloggers who are
making anywhere from $4000 to $40,000+ per month. Real bloggers, not internet marketers.
From my own experience being a professional blogger and the experience of bloggers in
bigger niches who make far more than my blog does, I’ve pieced together the formula for
successful, professional blogging.
Blogging that makes you money, gets you more leads and
clients, and sets you apart from most everyone else in
your market niche!
I also know that there are barriers standing
in the way of someone who wants to blog
professionally.
Blogging is definitely enjoying a big growth
period, but there is a lot that has to happen
between starting a blog and turning that blog
into a money-making venture….

Choose the unexpected: doors may open

Choose the unexpected:  doors may open[/caption

Every once in awhile, I go through an inspirational mind expansion. During these times, my mind is rejuvenated and instantly people appear in my life, or online, and the concetputal connections click like lightening. Whether I follow through or not is immaterial. The process creates power of spring with life rejuvenating.

My details presently seem insignificant. In my search for more hebal education (on-going the last few years for me) I have found some potential mentors. Tonight while reviewing some manuals and books by and presented by Michael Moore hebalist, I saw a perfect connect with this blog.

Michael Moore was totally dedicated to his passion about herbs. He wrote, documented, and shares his works with all interested. Yes he has books to sell,created a school, and practised herbology.

As I perused the information available, which directly addresses multiple interests I have, I was amazed by the vast amount of knowledge he collected. His passion drove everything.

Lesson here? Do you have a subject,story, idea that you feel absolutely connected with, care about, and could spend hundreds of days working on? the pursue this and write like crazy! Let little deter you. Yes you may have this other job, and the kids. Keep ideas and notes growing and piece whatever you together. Your writing will flourish! Google Michael Moore herbalist and see what I mean.

The following information was written for Christian audiences. If you do not share this faith, you may still want to listen as it is still packed full with a great amount of tips and solid stories about working as a writer. Want to be published? Listen!

Have you found blogTalkradio? Come on over to find great interviews and seminars. I decided to look up women wrtiers
on www.twitter.com and found a long list. I chose to visit Blogtalk radio, and have found an interesting group of audio broadcasts.
Today I am listening to an interview with Marnie, an author with 15 books published. You can either listen to the audio or go
directly to www.Marnie.com.

The interview is on Writer’s Radio Show, and the feature is Scatterbrain’s System for Writing. Below is a clip from www.writers-nook.com.
You will find terric resource here. Enjoy.

Actually, my earliest memories of writing were when I was two, I just did not consider myself to be a “writer” until that sweet day when my husband’s grandmother challenged me to “write” for our local newspaper. I still remember that uncertainty in my gut. I remember putting my whole heart into that first article. It was a risk. It was a step toward a dream that I had put aside for many, many years due to obstacles and hindrances all along the way.
Writer’s Nook is here to encourage, inspire, and equip you. I want to see you step up to the call to write. I want to see you write for God’s glory. I want to help you overcome the obstacles and hindrances that are blocking you from your dream. My prayer is that we can come alongside of you and make it easy.

Every good writer often faces the research or idea generation dilema. I actually went to twitter today to add a few comments and see what was happening. Normally I would have added a few new folks, and then I saw the search box! There’s power in the search box.

Writers often share a deep curiousity habit. Who would meet? What would they be doing? Would there (and the answer always is yes) be good material for some blogs perchance?

Yes. I spent over 1 1/2 hours listening to interviews and seminars whilst I wrote. The Scatterbrain System seminar had me so busy taking notes that I stopped other activities until it was finished. Go to BlogTalkRadio. Find women writers…look for the recording Scatterbrain Writing System.

So I copied here just a few Twiiter comments. Sometimes they are profound. Often they provide a quick link to resources I need. However they also represent a new form of condensed publishing. 140 characters, the clever can tell a story. 140 characters:excellent copy for an ad. 140 characters and you can build an audience who’ll WANT to read your work.

Hello again –

Look what I’ve got for you today — great stuff!

1. A clever little card trick that will give you a startling and
USEFUL “Aha!” moment.

2. A cool free download that lets you watch all your favorite
online videos in MUCH less time. I love this little gadget!

3. How gratitude transformed a SOGR fan’s 10-year-old daughter’s
bad attitude — and how yet ANOTHER home was saved from the
sheriff’s auction.

So let’s get started …

=================================================================

CLEVER CARD TRICK ILLUSTRATES ESSENTIAL SOGR PRINCIPLE

After hearing about it from a whole bunch of people, I watched
this online video interview where a young fellow from Australia
performs a little ‘card trick’ that very cleverly shows one of
the key principles of The Science of Getting Rich in such a clear
way that you can’t fail to understand it.

For quite a few folks, it has provided one of
those forehead-slapping moments that suddenly
startles you beyond what you THOUGHT you had
previously understood.

(Always a good thing!)

There’s a bit of background chatter before they get to the really
“good stuff,” but I think it’s worth the time just for that one
little “visual aid.” Check it out now — and slap your own
forehead!:

–> http://www.scienceofgettingrich.net/which-card

By the way, there’s a second video you can get access to with a
fellow who used visualization — “clear mental image!” — and was
healed in FOUR WEEKS from a disease with no known cure. And then
there are a couple of weird and funny stories of how he went on
to attract a sailboat AND a new designer kitchen.

The kitchen part involves a 40-foot tree falling on his house –
an excellent example of how something that seems awful in the
moment can end up bringing you exactly what you wanted all along!

(Oh, BEFORE you go watch, you might want to grab the free tool
I’m about to tell you about in the NEXT tidbit …)

=================================================================

ENJOY YOUR FAVORITE ONLINE VIDEOS AND SAVE TIME, TOO
(21st Century “Efficient Action”)

I don’t know about you, but as much as I enjoy all the great
stuff I can learn about or laugh at in online videos, sometimes
the folks in them seem to talk VERY slowly or ramble a bit. So I
used to occasionally find myself wishing I could speed ‘em up.

Well, now I can — and so can you. Free. (Woohoo! What great
manifesters we are!) ;-D

I’ve been using this nifty little app for a couple of weeks now
and it’s SO useful.

Just download it for free (it’s small and fast), install it, and
whenever you view YouTube or most other online videos …

… you can speed up OR slow down the audio
without the speakers sounding like a cartoon
chipmunks or like they’re just coming out of
anesthesia.

I just added it to the Update Page, so you can find it here:

–> http://www.scienceofgettingrich.net/update.html

(Haven’t tried it for this myself, but I suppose if you like
dancing really FAST, you could experiment with it on music
videos, too. Or exercise videos — ah, the sky’s the limit!)

=================================================================

GRATITUDE IS ‘CONNECTION TO POWER’ FOR KIDS, TOO
(And … Yet Another Home Snatched off the Auction Block!)

From JD in Powell, Ohio, USA:

“My 10-year-old daughter had recently been taking things for
granted and complaining about what she couldn’t have or do. Up
until now, I would lecture her about how good she has it, which
never seemed to have any impact.

“Because of Lifelabs 17 and 18* my thinking had shifted and I
asked her and my wife if we could hold a little ‘gratitude
ritual’ every evening where we express our gratitude for things
that happened that day, in the past or things that are happening
in the future.

“Her attitude has shifted in just a few days
and we are all finding ourselves appreciating
each other and what we have much more. We are
also looking at things in a better way.

“I also wanted to give an update to what I shared in my “‘hello
from Ohio’ post in the introduction section about our house.

“The sheriff sale was scheduled to take place
today at 10:00 am, and yesterday around 4:00 pm
it was cancelled.

“I am in conversation with the bank and they are working with us
to do a loan modification.

“I also had a great income opportunity drop into my lap as a
result of taking a little action to get some business coaching
from a business coach I met with a year ago. He’s helping me get
going with it and giving me some free business coaching until I
get in a more profitable position.

life and putting it into action!”

THINK lots of little to CREATE BIG!
These two links can get you a lot of information on writing. Whilst I was scanning my docuements this morning, I found that I have a book yet unread, on freelance writing. It was by Yvonne Perry. She’s a pro. I did not have time to rea it then, and she doesn’t want others to copy exerpts, and so I send you to her link.

Freelance writing comes in many forms, some of which we often, myself included, forget. I will use recipes as an example. You can and have my permission to use recipes that I use in my blog: http://www.coachingcooking.com in some of the following suggestions. Please give my blog, and me credit.

You pobably have a slew of recipes of your own.
1) Many recipes provide the major content of articles. Look at some of your fav magazines. The New Mexico magazine often has a story woven by some local (usually well known writer) from the southwest and then the recipes or three recipes.
2) You can create similar articles for publishing online.
3) You can write regional magazines to see if they’d be interested,
4) You can contact local newspapers while they last,
5) You can start your own newsletter w/your recipes

After awhile you may go to local non-profits with a short simple book of your recipes.
You can create a calendar with recipes.
Once you get started, you may find 30 ways to build multiple ways to earn money from your recipes. Before you know it you’ll have a book on www.lulu.com, a blog, and maybe even a site. Imagination may get you on youtube, and if you can create extra income to beat the raises you may not be getting, then you have struck paydirt! All on recipes. Hmmm….maybe I can get over to www.squidoo.com and work on some new pages!

So get your mind ticking.

Now if recipes is not your thing, think of hobbies, interests, and activities you do love: hiking,walking,running,exercise,photography.
