Want to write parenting and family articles and get paid?
I know there are a lot of parents out there doing the job of parenting every day and thinking, "I should write about this. I wonder if others struggle with this. I could help someone with my story or with a researched article about this topic."
I had those same thoughts back in 2005-ish when I had my third baby and was in the trenches of parenting. I checked into my local parenting magazine, Kansas City Parent, sent something to them about stocking up on meals instead of going grocery shopping daily, and I made a fast 25 bucks.
Then I wondered if I could maybe send the same piece to other magazines in other cities. Did they only want local content or would they take my little evergreen piece?
Fast forward MANY years: I present to you below a rockin' list of great magazines I have personally written for, and it increases every year. Once I figured out I could do this, I compiled a book of info and markets and guidelines and pay information so others could do the same thing. I've made as little as 10 bucks on a piece up to $250.
