For the Mompreneur

A few weeks ago I attended a business seminar hosted by SCORE NYC on the retail business.  SCORE is a non-profit organization that provides free small business counseling and low-cost small business workshops throughout the country. However, the reason for my attending was Maisha Walker, the "internet strategist" for Inc. magazine and president of Message Medium.  Her wealth of knowledge was worth every moment spent at the seminar.  If you are a mompreneur or entrepreneur who is starting or expanding an online business, you definitely have to check her out.  She gave great tips on how to establish and expand your online presence without breaking the bank; SEO strategies for small businesses; and how to optimize social media to get the word out.

I have yet to apply the things I learned at the seminar, but cannot wait to get started.  It has been slow going for me, but I am enjoying the journey.  I will keep you posted on my progress and on any good tips or information I find.

Until then,
Helen
