It takes a lot to turn a good idea into a full-fledged (and profitable) business. WomanEntrepeneur.com is a Web site that can guide you through the “business” of owning a business. Its female-centric articles, blogs and even community resources offer insight to help you get your foot in the door. The site features columnists who’ve had national or international success in business writing, consulting, public relations and other fields. Many of the columnists contribute to many other well-known business publications such as Corporate Travel Magazine and The New York Times.
WomenEntrepreneur.com’s articles are meant to spark conversations about whether or not starting a business makes sense for your lifestyle. Given the unique challenges women face, such as balancing motherhood and work life, the site provides helpful ways to maneuver through these challenges. For example, the section titled, Startup Basics houses articles focused on startup capital, home-based business options and using technology to grow your business from the ground up.
WomenEntrepeneur.com also offers informational videos that give insight on topics such as branding, new technology, money and finance and e-commerce. Most videos are around five minutes long and feature people who have first-hand experience in starting a business from scratch.
Entrepreneur Connect is a social networking program where you can connect with other female entrepreneurs or business owners. After creating a profile, you’ll be able to get information on industry events and take part in group discussions. The site doesn’t allow you to self-promote or post the same thread across multiple discussion groups. But you can still get your name out there by telling people who you are and starting discussions that can promote success for you and your group. Entrepreneur Connect offers a name directory to quickly find members who might already be in the system.
