My business has just awarded our first micro-grant to a woman owned business in the US. We are looking for blogs, ezines & newsletters to publish a short article about the grant winner.
In exchange you can have a text ad in our directory. http://iiwomen.com/Profiles/index.htm
I am so excited, I awarded my first grant to a woman owned business this week!
I have been planning this for almost a year and it feels great.
You can read the interview with our winner, Tanisha Cunningham of The Underground Railroad To Success on our home page: http://iiwomen.com
Can you support our grant program by either forwarding a short article to people you know via email or republishing the article? You can find the article about Tanisha and the URS on this page, http://iiwomen.com/Press.htm

Facebook fan pages are a great way to market your business and teach new customers about your business. It's also free and easy to set up. All you really need is to add quality relevant content to your fan page on a regular basis.
To create a fan page go to the bottom of your profile page and click "Advertising", it is in small blue print.
On the top of the new page you will see 4 choices, click on "Pages". It has a flag next to it.
There are 4 tabs you can view for information on fan pages. This will be helpful to know. I suggest reading these first. Overview Prepare Step By Step Find New Fans
Once you have gone through that, you can click on a green button near the top of the page "Create a Page".
After you have set up your fan page, you will have the option to connect with Twitter. This app will show every item you post on your fan page wall on your Twitter page. You may or may not want to do this. If you are unsure, don't connect, you can always connect at a later time.
Here is the fan page for Investing In Women. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Encinitas-CA/Investing-In-Women-Free-Business-Resources/152706677790?ref=mf

Hello I have just opened up my business resource site for membership. I know who my market is (woman entrepreneurs) and where to find them (social media & local networking groups).
Can you tell me what are the best way to bring up this subject and approach women who are not already in my network. Should I use direct mail, an email marketing campaign, or can I just tell them directly what I offer with the membership?
Also, are referrals a good way to entice membership? I would like to offer a small referral fee, or would this be a turn off?
Thank you, Leah Oviedo Free Business Resources, http://iiwomen.com

I am considering using a business that sends traffic your way.
Has anyone used Quality Traffic Site or a different service?
If so did they deliver? Did you have any problems? Did your sales increase?
