Startup Idea: Freelance Writer Management and Lead Generation Software

Startup idea to develop a software that helps freelance writers manage and track their portfolio, contacts, leads, submissions across multiple online platforms, with potential for lead recommendation and automation features. The software also needs to manage individual pieces of article ideas and related tasks such as artwork and editing. The goal is to reduce the time spent on administration so the writers can focus more on writing and selling their work.

I'm a freelance writer. I monitor and submit to several different online outlets to get content sold, and it's pretty hard to keep track of all the places I'm monitoring, who needs what, who is accepting now, the dates when they'll be accepting later. Then there's just the issue of keeping track of the article ideas I have, how many articles I have in the can that need to be sold, and professional contacts for artwork and editing related to possible ebooks. In a nutshell, there's a lot of odds and ends to keep track of. I wish I could keep leads better organized, and man, if I could have leads SUGGESTED and have automatic updates related to my leads, that would be great. Right now I use a combination of browser bookmarks and emails to myself to keep track of all my freelance writing endeavors, and there's gotta be an easier way to organize all this.

I'd pay for this software on a small, one-time basis. If, however, the software generated leads I wouldn't find on my own, I'd pay on a subscription basis. If you can save me time hunting for work and make your service pay for itself, I'd pay a reasonable monthly fee.
