Hi,
My wife wanted to start a website as she'll be off on maternity leave and needs to stay sane!
She wanted to do something targeted to parents and families where they can find articles and reviews written by 'real people' on products etc.
She has a few contacts who can help supply products, and I was drafted in to set the site up.
Theres a way to go yet, but the stumbling block we have right now is getting a good level of content (Content is King as they say) to start with, and how to kick start the forums.
I've gone the usual facebook/twitter route, but have not had much luck with other parenting forums etc as they naturally remove the posts!
What tips does anyone have for attracting people to help write content. Obviously we dont see this as a business so can't pay (at least not at first).
My feeling is to ditch the idea completly as the market is possibly saturated already...
Anyways, if you want the site is (temporarily) at http://mummyknowsbest.webatu.com
We'll move to a 'proper' host once it's looking like a go-er.
Thanks
