Mumsnet Local is growing all the time and we're on the look out for Mumsnetters who'd like to get involved in the project as Local Editors. Are you enthusiastic about where you live, keen on sharing the joy with other parents in your area - and looking for an excuse to spend even more time on Mumsnet? Then Mumsnet needs YOU.

What would you need to do? Well, the short answer is that we want each Local site to be the place where parents can get all the essential information and advice that they need about their neighbourhood from the experts - that is, the other parents who live there. We ask our Local Editors to be responsible for growing and nurturing their community by adding and editing listings, building a group of Local Ambassadors who organise regular meet-ups, and getting the word out in their area - and in return, have the right to sell advertising on the site to local businesses and keep 100% of the revenue.

That's the short answer. For the long one, please email [email protected] with 'interested in becoming a Local Editor' in the subject field, and we'll get back to you as soon as ever we can.

Of course it also depends whether your area is in need of a local editor

I've sent in an email.

It's the sort of thing I'd love to be a part of, but at the moment I'm not sure whether or not I'd have the skills to do it

depends on your familiarity with sales and social media but it's fun if you like that kind of thing. And very flexible hours

Tee is it good? And is it fairly easy to get to grips with?

It's taxable as income if you make more than the threshold, WouldBe. You act as self employed.
