Mumsnet Local is abuzz with activity these days, with new listings being added constantly, and fabulous newsletters being produced by around 80 sites (with more going out all the time). If you haven't already, please do pop over and set your local site as your homepage to receive offers relevant to you right into your inbox - and while you're there, why not consider whether you might like to become one of our Local Editors yourself?

As a Local Editor (LE), you'll look after your Local site and keep it up to date, as well as writing newsletters, looking after social media and arranging meet-ups. As well as looking great on your CV if you're taking a break between jobs, you can also make money by contacting businesses local to you and asking them to advertise on your site: as a Local Editor, you keep all of the revenue from any adverts or offers that you book.

Local's still in its infancy but it's growing all the time: in the last year, Local Editors who've been working hard to build contacts and communities are really starting to see dividends, with several seeing monthly earnings topping £1,000. It's slow and steady but the potential is great.

We have 122 sites with LEs but we still need more , so if you live in any of the areas listed below and are looking for a new challenge, mail us on [email protected] and with Interested in becoming a local editor for name in the subject line, and tell us a bit about yourself.

Hi all,

To address the comments on NI, we will happily look at breaking it down a little. It would be great to have a couple of folks interested and with a knowledge of the area.

Please do mail and we can have a look.

@mistlethrush

(Not a NI comment) My area clearly has had some attention since I looked at it a month ago and saw 'events' that were last year - but the 5 forthcoming car boot / table opportunities are all the same thing posted 5 times and, really, there is very little on the site. The chat is unsurprisingly sparse too.

Hey mistlethrush,

Please do report these to us and we will look. It is a slow and steady thing that can take a while to get right, but any feedback or help is gratefully received and we will pass over to the relevant LE.

@MimsyBorogroves

I'd love to do this in my area. Information is very, very sparse on my local site even though it's not on the list as needing a LE. Also, due to postcodes and other geography stuff, what is there isn't very local anyway. My postcode pulls up 3 suggestions and non of them are very relevant...

I emailed about becoming a LE when you first mentioned the opportunity but never heard back - does that mean I'm not suitable? am a bit too common for my Local Area anyway...

Please do mail us anyway and we can take a look.

We do have fairly wide areas depending on where you live and population, but we are always happy to look and re-jig areas if there isn't relevant info where you are.
