Subscribe to Community-wide general discussion Calling All Eco-Friendly Indies...

I am working to grow my business that not only provides a livelihood for myself, but also leaves the world a better place than I found it.

I've spoke with so many like-minded people that share a similar level of excitement and I'd like to develop a network of people who want to grow, learn and help one another develop their green businesses.

If your business somehow relates to an eco-friendly service or product and are seeking a network for growing, please say hi. I also invite you to share your view on what you would like to see in a place where green-minded indies come together.

...and what would you prioritize?

    Don't forget to remind everyone you know to post the link (& instructions) to their Facebook wall and Tweet about it too!

    Yes! I've been doing that Lara. But thanks for the reminder. Never hurts. Spent all day yesterday sending individual emails to hundreds of people in my address book. Don't want to get flagged as a spammer by trying to send them all at once! That wouldn't be good :)

    Lara~ The great thing about SMS marketing is the carriers regulate it very closely so it is by opt in only. You have to be a little creative in how you create your opt in list, but there are so many ways to do that. Then you know that the people that you are sending your message to are interested in your product or business and those of us that don't want "spam" on our phones will never get it. Thanks so much for the feedback.
