Mumpreneur Profiles |
Do you love to know how other women do it? Read the Mumpreneur Profiles over at the Family Friendly Working Blog. In February there is an 'eco mums' theme, with profiles of the mumpreneurs behind Arabella Miller, Naturebotts, Crafty n'Clothy, Winona's Organics and more.
In March we'll be hearing from mums who work freelance in the media or run their own publications. April is open to any sort of business.
May will feature Mums working in Travel: I have space for one more mum working in this area. In June I'm hoping to find some mums in Industry or those who have Invented a product. July is for any business again. If you'd like to feature, simply answer the questions here.

| The Mumpreneur Guide |
More and more mums are signing up for free business help from The Mumpreneur Guide. It is designed for mums who are serious about starting a business. The site currently offers an e-course taking you through the essentials of getting your enterprise going.
Galia Orme of www.chocchick.com says, "I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed reading the Mumpreneur guide on Search Engine Optimisation. I...thought the advice you offered was excellent. A lot of SEO is common sense and knowing your market, but many people still see it as a bit of a dark art! Your guide on SEO was very well explained, clear and easy to follow."
