About Us
Mumsnet has long been home to loads of funny, provocative parents and we're keen to give a similar platform to talented bloggers, many of whom haven’t really been heard. Whether you're a seasoned writer or a plucky newbie, we're here to help you blog better and share in any revenue you generate through our network.
We offer bloggers:
• Promotion on the UK's busiest parenting community of 2 million monthly unique visitors, and to our followers on Twitter (@MumsnetBloggers) and fans on Facebook (MumsnetBloggersNetwork)
• A forum to keep in touch and share tips with other bloggers
• A place to read all member posts and find out who's making headlines in the news
• Advice on how to improve your blog through headline, link and image tips. Plus, suggestions on community and platform-management
• Tips on how to build your audience, through search engine optimisation (SEO), and social media and blog outreach
• The chance to be involved in product reviews for bloggers
We offer brands:
• Display ads on participant network member sites
• The ability to share products with influential players
How we work
Anyone who has a blog can apply to join. And if you're new to the fun, do check out our handy guide to all things blog. We accept blogs on anything and everything of interest to our audience:
• That have been regularly updated (i.e. in the last month)
• That adhere to our Editorial Guidelines and Terms of Use
Bloggers in the network remain free to write about and publish what they choose on their blogs. We link out to all blogs and individual posts on our site and social media. It's pretty simple, really: the bloggers get the readers, and retain full control and ownership of their work. We also ask all members to carry an MBN badge to show they're part of the network.
Our bloggers will also have the option to share in top products plus any ad revenue generated from readers. In this way we're hoping to develop a new, more democratic publishing model in which the author and publisher split any proceeds of the work.
MBN Research Panel
We offer all network members the opportunity to review products and events through our Research Panel. We ask all members to carry an MBN Product Review widget (which can replace the badge) and a declaration of integrity if they opt in to review products with us.
MBN Product Review Widget
The widget displays Mumsnet bloggers' reviews and links back to their blogs - so if your review appears on the widget, people can click on it to visit your blog. When the panel isn't doing reviews, the widget shows a list of the most recent posts from our network. So we hope the widget will also link up the Mumsnet bloggers and give you all a little bit more traffic.
The widget dimensions are designed to fit on all major blog platforms with enough space to promote several great posts. The aim is to amplify our bloggers’ voices.
