Tip of the Day

  • I recently learned about FeedFlares at Feedburner, which allows you to add interactivity at the end of every post delivered in feeds. There is a catalog of FeedFlares that you can access through Feedburner and includes options for readers to add posts to Twitter, Facebook, Blogroll, Blogs, Technorati, Email, and many more.
  • BUDurl.com - Use this program to shrink long URLs and get tracking information on your link. Great for promotions in Twitter and other social sites. Allows you to track traffic to the landing page through the link you assign.
  • TellAFriend.com - They call themselves a "social twist service". Replace your standard social bookmarking buttons with a Tell-a-Friend button. More effective for sharing and promoting your content.
  • Ebates.com - Sign up for free today - it only takes 15 seconds and you'll get a $5 sign up bonus (I'll get one too!). Then you can shop online and earn money back. I earned 15% cash back on my $3 per $25 gift certificate purchase at Restaurant.com.
  • Want a cool picture like member Amy Starr Allen? She suggests visiting http://www.picnik.com/. Picnik makes your photos fabulous with easy to use yet powerful editing tools. Tweak to your heart’s content, then get creative with oodles of effects, fonts, shapes, and frames.

Testimonials

“As for moderators you are one of the best. I have been a part of other groups and I just stop participating because of the crazy emails that we get spammed with.”
-Jamie R. Lentzner, Owner, Jamie’s Painting & Design
 
"Traci has created a wonderful resource for mom entrepreneurs. She understands the challenges faced by moms that are balancing family and running a business, and provides the guidance we desire. I highly recommend Traci and The Mom Entrepreneur."
-Shannon Davis, Founder & CEO at Beyondmotherhood.com
 
“The Mom Entrepreneur Support Group is truly the first one I’ve been involved with that continuously reaches out to connect with me. All other groups I’ve participated with in the past, required me to be proactive about jumping in. Now, I receive daily conversations and can quickly scan and get to know the other mompreneurs in the group, and jump in on a topic that excites me. I’ve never met any of these women in person, but I do feel like I’m part of something powerful and know that when I need support, there are many who will cover my back. I love this aspect of the group, and look forward to seeing the magic we all create as a unified team.”
-Lauri Harrison, President, Lauri Harrison PR, LLC
Welcome
Welcome to The Mom Entrepreneur Support Group

The Mom Entrepreneur Online Support Group, established on June 25, 2008, offers tips, advice and resources for balancing motherhood and running a company.

The group was first formed in Google Groups and then moved to its new home in January 2010. Since the beginning, the group has hosted almost 8,000 discussions. Each member has benefited in some way and the testimonials throughout the site are proof of this. In addition, the group is strictly moderated. A list of guidelines has been established in order to keep members on track with the mission of the group. Members agree this is the best format.

Testimonials for the new site:

"I love the feel of the new site. I have so many new friends that I have met through this group, and I love the chat feature to keep in touch in "real time". I also love the bookstore area so I can keep my mom entrepreneur book list up to date. Thanks!"
-Rebecca Buscemi, Owner, The Savvy Women's Business Solution

"I find the site user friendly and well laid out. I feel more connected with the other members because their profiles are easily accessible...it is, in a way, more intimate. I will spend more time on the site because of the personal nature it. I love that there is a place where other mom entrepreneurs are experiencing similar triumphs and set backs. I need that support as I launch my new company. It is absolutely worth the monthly fee."
-Shelagh Cummins, Owner, Practical Mum

"Wow, this new site is quite sophisticated - much like our own little Facebook. I was initially skeptical of paid membership, but because I believe this support group has helped launch my business into uncharted territory, I promised I would give it a try. I am impressed with what I see so far and look forward to making many more friends on the new TME support group site!"
-Karen Sroka, Owner, My Scratch off Labels

"You will love this new site. It is an organized place for us to meet and talk in "real time" via instant messaging and chat rooms. It's like our own private Facebook. Emails are also more organized by Mom and Entrepreneur categories."
-Dara Blaker, Owner, Mighty Miracle Mist

"This site is very well done and very professional. I love that everything, including discussions, is in one place."
-Polly Schlafhauser, Owner, Families with Purpose
