Marketing & Networking
Welcome to the August edition of the Ms. Biz Blog Carnival! My plans for this edition was for it to be about home office organization; however, I did not receive enough posts related to that topic. I found that the large majority of the posts were about marketing, so that is the new focus of this edition. Enjoy!
Kathleen Gage presents many great posts about marketing and networking at Street Smarts Marketing and Promotions. Some of these include:
I know I need to blog, but where do I find the time and fresh ideas?
Internet Marketing - An often overlooked opportunity
Internet Marketing - What’s stopping your success?
Social Networking: A great resource or simply a waste of time?
Internet Marketing! It’s driving me crazy!
Again, all of these by Kathleen Gage are posted at Street Smarts Marketing and Promotions, and I thank her for taking the time to submit this information to the blog carnival. You may want to spend some time browsing around this blog.
Melanie presents What Indiana Jones Teaches Us About PR posted at Rembrandt’s PR and Writing Blog for Startup Success.
Melanie also presents 3 Quick Copy Tips to Boost Website Sales posted at Rembrandt’s PR and Writing Blog for Startup Success.
Richard presents What is The Real Purpose of a Business Blog? posted at No More Compromise.
I hope you enjoyed this edition of Biz Women!
I realize that it does not include many links, but please understand that I waded through everything that was submitted to only include relevant, useful information. This is not even 1/4 of the posts that have been submitted for this carnival but many simply were not relevant to the topic of home business.
Which brings me to a very good question - are blog carnivals worth the effort? From the standpoint of the blogger who has their post included in a blog carnival issue, I think that blog carnivals can certainly be worth the effort of submitting your post for inclusion. IF that post is on topic with what the blog carnival is about! Some blog carnivals are seeking general posts on an area and some are seeking posts about a specific topic. Please always read the information before you submit your post to any blog carnival. For people like me who are hosting the blog carnivals and must (or should) take the time to weed out the irrelevant posts, I have high hopes that the blog carnivals can be useful. Of course, my main reason for doing these is not only to bring traffic to this blog but to also help other business women. So, is it working? I’ll get back to you on that.
General Info
This is a day late, but welcome to the June 2, 2008 edition of Biz Women - The Lives and Businesses of Home Business Women. There was a large amount of submissions for this edition, so perhaps needless to say, I had a large amount of irrelevant ones. However, I am still very pleased with the large amount of information that the following posts cover.
To get things started, our first post is about something that is most likely on the minds of many people who are just starting their home based business.
Robin Matuk presents How to Balance Work at Home with a Part Time Job posted at Creating with Impact.
