I found this article on The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur titled "Best Ways for Women to Promote & Market their Business". I am not "shameless" in my promotions so I'm not sure all of this will work for me but the ideas are good and worth sharing.
Here is an excerpt from the list. Read on for the rest of the suggestions.
1. Finding Your Allies
My tip is related to online marketing: clearly
identify what you're about and don't try to be all things to all people...more...---------

Hi everyone! So sorry it's been such a long time since I submitted a blog entry...
I actually started my own blog about choices for maternity care in Hawai`i: www.maternitycarechoiceshawaii.wordpress.com/
After seeing the film, "The Business of Being Born" something inside me came alive and now I'm passionate about learning about birth and information that is not always easily available.
So aside from being the sales rep for Moby Wraps which is going very well=), the discussion leader over at hawaiimoms.com, now I've become inthralled with birth!
Another project that I'm working on is, "The Business Case for Breastfeeding". If you are or know of a woman who would like to continue nursing/breastfeeding after returning to work and would like some help approaching their employer, please send me a note!
Here's some info regarding skin-to-skin from the brochure 'Clinical Benefits of the Moby Wrap Baby Carrier:
What is skin-to-skin? - "Skin-to-Skin" is contact between the baby's front and the mother's chest. Usually baby is in a diaper and parent or caregiver is bare-chested.
According to Dr. William Sears, practicing skin-to-skin and babywearing has benefits for the whole family:
"The mother's skin is the baby's natural environment, and both physically and emotionally the healthiest place for it to be."-Dr. Nils Bergman
I'm going to crush my competition and I'm going to enjoy doing it."
--Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth
We all know Omarosa as the contestant from Donald Trump's popular The Apprentice show. She was the strong, opinionated woman with the tough negotiating skills that everyone hated - some may called her delusional - but still, she was the only contestant ever asked to re-appear on The Apprentice and is once again joining up with Mr. Trump to develop a show of her own. Her actions, especially her most recent spar with talk-show host Wendy Williams, may cause hype and buzz but will it help with the sale of her book "The Bitch Switch: Knowing How to Turn in On and Off"?
Omarosa hopes her book "will empower women who are being pushed around, walked on and/or looked over by people in their lives... to speak up or stand up to those people or things that are holding you back from achieving your full potential."
The Bitch Switch will hit stores in September. Are you willing to take a few lessons from Omarosa and buy her book?
