Today, Freelance Daily kicks off “Market Monday,” a new, weekly feature that will look at markets for you to pitch your work. The idea being that, while the daily job leads we send are good for paying the bills, these markets will give you an opportunity to work on projects that truly interest you. Each week we’ll be focusing on two to five high-quality markets. We’re looking to showcase lesser known markets that still offer rates of 50 cents a word or more and have immediate needs for freelancers’ work. The following is one of three markets featured in today's newsetter.

In the editor’s words: "Our audience is smart people who read a lot. They have a pretty high standard for the kind of stories that they are looking for. We need writers who have a background in business story writing and who can understand our audience and write what they want to read."
Market notes: CMO is a new title from CXO Media, which is owned by IDG and also publishes CSO (Chief Systems Officers), CIO (Chief Information Officer) and Darwin for technology employees. While CXO's other publications require writers with technical know-how, Managing Editor Elaine Cummings says CMO writers simply must be good reporters and able to talk to practitioners in their own language. Cummings wants to test drive writers on short pieces, with the best place to break in being the magazine’s back page "What Is" column, a 600-word, single page marketing primer. The first issue's "What Is" explained MRM (Marketing Resource Management). “Buzz,” in the front of the book is also another place for freelancers to try their luck. Cummings wants short, cleverly-written stories that are timely, trendy and top-of-mind for marketers.
