Mompreneur Resources

I've been writing a lot about my girls and being a parent but this blog is also about my new business too. So I thought I would compile a short list of resources that I have found very helpful over the last few weeks. Starting your own business has a steep learning curve and I have found some wonderful women who have been happy to share their experiences.

Women Entrepreneur Groups:

These are fantastic places to meet other entrepreneurs who are happy to share their knowledge. My fav's this month are:

  1. The Mom Entrepreneur Online Support Group http://groups.google.com/group/mom-entrepreneur-support-group?hl=en
  2. Connect2Mums http://connect2mums.ning.com/
  3. Mom Bloggers Club http://www.mombloggersclub.com/

Some Great Resources for PR Information:

  2. www.wikihow.com/Write-a-press-release
  3. http://www.thebusinessofbeingamom.com/

Links for media requests:

  1. http://www.helpareporter.com/
  2. http://www.pitchrate.com/
  3. http://www.reporterssource.com/

I would also like to thank those individual women entrepreneurs who I have found through these various groups and twitter. Your advice and wealth of knowledge has been invaluable!!!

We mompreneurs must stick together.
