100% Revenue Sharing Now at Type-A Mom

As many of you may know, the primary mission of Type-A Mom is to give moms a place to earn money for writing. I want to step up that commitment. I have switched the article embedded Adsense advertisement from a 50% share with contributors to 100%. I am not aware of any other revenue sharing content site that does this!

If you are already a writer, you need not do a thing. The change has already taken place! If you’d like to be a writer, apply here!

Momtent to Connect Mom Bloggers (with pay!) and Companies

Speaking of money and the Type-A Mom mission to help moms make some, I have recently launched Momtent. Companies want to connect with mom bloggers to have authentic voices in an ethical manner. Mom bloggers are struggling for a way to earn the money they deserve for their hard work. Momtent is designed to overcome the hurdles facing both sides, creating a fair way for both sides to win. Companies get quality content, and mom bloggers get paid for their writing.

Hiring Type-A Mom Editors

We just added a bunch of new editor openings. Editors get some wonderful benefits, including a free banner ad in their section, inclusion on the Twitter Type-A Mom Editors list and your profile at the top of your topic page. Find out more and apply here!

Mom Bloggers Guild

I am forming a mom bloggers guild, and I think it is far overdue. I think it could serve so many purposes, but primarly I just think this group needs someone advocating for it. Find out more about the formation of a Mom Bloggers Guild and put your name in if you are interested in being considered for the advisory board.

Crossposting on Type-A Mom

The content you enter at Type-A Mom does not have to be original, and you as the writer retain rights to it anyway (we just ask for nonexclusive rights to publish it). Do you have some great content on your own blog that would fit into the Type-A Mom editorial guidelines? Go ahead and submit it. Once you log in at Type-A Mom, you will see a menu on the left with information about guidelines, how to insert Adsense code, how to submit an article, and so on. The only thing we recommend is that you change the title so the articles don’t compete against themselves for Google rankings.

Type-A Mom Magazine

Type-A Mom is now a magazine! This is a very exciting development. The magazine will be quarterly at first, and will feature the work of Type-A Mom writers and editors. Order the premiere issue!

There are lots of lists out there of hot toys, but many times they come from experts who don’t even have kids and are looking to promote specific products. At Type-A Mom, we say let’s go straight to the source: moms! You know what your kids are begging to get for Christmas. Please fill out the form below to help your fellow moms know what is really hot! You will get a double entry in all of the holiday contests at Type-A Mom, plus one person will be selected to win a Pop Art 5-in-1 Tasty Baker!
