WAHM: A Great Way to Promote your Business
Being a Work at Home Mom can be one of the most rewarding things that you do.
But we also know how hard it can be all by yourself.
For example, where on earth would you even begin to find investors for your idea? A partner? A service provider?
You’re just starting out and you need to find every possible avenue to market yourself, your product and your idea. Current Social Networks focus more on YOU the person, as opposed to YOU the business. It can be a veritable zoo of information, and you rarely know which service to use and when to promote yourself.
However, we have found one, thanks to Darren Rowse at Problogger, called You Noodle, which focuses on both. Did we mention it’s free?
YouNoodle harnesses the power of social networking, and showcases start-ups, websites, new businesses and existing ventures.
Giving you an easy to use platform to showcase your ideas whether they are brand new and still in the building phase, or if you are already established and simply wanting to promote your products and services to a unique market of people.
Some of you may wish to keep your ideas to yourself, naturally the fear of being copied or beaten to market is frightening for some, but ask yourself, what guarantee do you have that you keep your ideas to yourself, and someone doesn’t beat you to market anyway? Why not put yourself out there, and put your stamp and your face behind your ‘big idea’ right from the start.
It is about taking ownership of your idea and seeking out like minded entrepeneurs, and more importantly POTENTIAL INVESTORS. As a WAHM what an amazing opportunity to be able to reach the ears of the people who may be able to help you launch your idea into the stratosphere, all while you are sitting at home.
Don’t forget to connect with NessWorld while you’re there, you can follow NessWorlds’ progress by following this link to my profile and connecting with us there.
Remember if you are going to promote yourself and your business, have your summary, most professional profile photo, and some business graphics ready. If you are in the Cape Town area and need help getting the perfect profile photograph taken, you are welcome to email me to arrange a quick low cost photoshoot (I will offer special rates to NessWorld fans), and of course I can also be of service in getting business graphics designed for you (graphic design services I can offer globally thanks to the wonder of the internet), and optimized for web use, again, please contact me via email with your requirements, naturally I will offer special rates for NessWorld followers and fans.
I started NessWorld as a way of helping other WAHMs (work at home moms) get access to these kinds of professional services at affordable rates (when you have a household to maintain, we know what kind of strain that can put on your marketing budget!) and this is my way of helping out.
We’re Back!
Apologies for the delay in posting! An unforeseen computer disaster (namely a gorgeous 18 month old toddler, yes mine, decided that my Macbook looked better on the floor), followed by a shortage of Apple Macs in this country kept me away from you all for far too long!
The good news is we’re back and better, tastier, and way more delicious than ever before!
I have several new posts lined up, and I hope that you will enjoy them as much as I’m going to enjoy writing them during this coming week. They are going to be of interest to those of you (us!) that work from home, and some of the lighter stuff will be of interest to anyone, so please remember to share your favourite posts on stumbleupon, digg, become a fan on facebook, subscribe to the rss feed, and even follow us on twitter for up to the minute updates.
Remember that this website is here to entertain, support and be a place to find resources for WAHMs (work at home moms) all around the globe, so the more people who hear about us, comment on the site, and use it as a place for networking, the better for all of us.
Coming up this week will be the first of what I hope will become many, many profiles of WAHM’s as we aim to grow our network, and support each other.
