I so believe in what you are doing and I would like to help you create ongoing funding for your organization. The first thing you need to know is that My Power Mall is completely FRE*E to NPOs. With that in mind – while being brief, let me start at the beginning…Your first thought of course is, who is My Power Mall & Together We Can Change The World, Inc.? In order to answer that question I have to start with a story. In August 2001, our Founder, Ginny Dye, had a vision of utilizing the power of the Internet to change the world. In the years since then, that vision has resulted in Together We Can Change The World, Inc. – the parent company to Together We Can Change The World Day, Together We Can Change The World Publishing, and now our newest division – My Power Mall!Instead of forming a non-profit organization to vie for already limited funds, they decided to create a company that would provide funding and volunteers for great organizations already in existence. Their vision was to create a company that would allow your supporters to pour revenue into your organization without their giving any additional money. They decided to make this their gift to the world, investing over a half million dollars in money and time to make it a reality; then gifting it back to the world – helping both organizations and individuals all over the world.With those goals in mind, My Power Mall was born! They created a complete, On-line Shopping Mall designed to funnel profits from everyday purchases right back to organizations like yours – while also providing financial freedom for the people helping you with your mission.My Power Mall is a company...COMMITTED TO CHANGING THE WAY FUNDRAISING IS DONE!You may be familiar with fundraising malls. But My Power Mall is different…One of their primary goals is to be different from every other Mall out there. While there are some great Malls, My Power Mall's commitment is to excellence in every area. My Power Mall's goal is to raise $100 MILLION for organizations. They can only achieve that by doing everything a "little bit better."• My Power Mall has more stores than any other Mall – 1000+• Their goal is: If it can be bought, it can be bought on your Power Mall. They are committed to providing a vast variety of stores and products – with each merchant meeting a strict set of criteria to ensure shopping satisfaction.• There are hundreds of name brand stores, as well as hundreds of lesser known stores that pay higher commissions.• 4-75% of the purchase price on each product or service bought goes to the organization. The huge difference is that My Power Mall offers the most generous cash back program of its kind on the Internet to their organizations!• My Power Mall is also available to any of your staff or supporters who would like their own – allowing them to shop on the Mall and generate income for your organization and them at the same time! This is NOT an MLM or Affiliate company.• Exciting daily Shopping Alerts promote purchasing. It's not enough to build a great Mall. It's equally important to give you a reason to visit your Mall. That's where their exciting newsletters, customized store specials e-mails and notifications of stores with fr*ee shipping come in.• Once you have received your Mall and shared it with a few people, the My Power Mall system takes over – doing all the work to create money FOR you!• There is no selling, no qualifying for income, all marketing tools are Fre*e, and no one ever has to reveal their Credit Card Info for a FRE*E Business Starter Mall.My Power Mall’s mission is to change the way fundraising is done!Our goal is that no one will buy anything or use a service without benefiting a cause they believe in!We look forward to working with you to help you achieve your mission.Please go to: http://www.weshopforcash.comIf you need to contact me with questions, please send me an e-mail @ mkoonce@biblicalprayerbracelets.com

Are You Asking for the Business?

Meeting one-on-one with prospective clients can be an effective marketing tool, but you must do one important thing; don’t forget to ask for the business! The purpose of an in-person meeting is to establish trust, relationship and sincerity in a personal manner.As businesswomen we often enjoy the social aspect of talking with others so much that we often forget why we are meeting. To remedy this challenge, below are six ways to stay on track and get the business you deserve!1. Clarify why you’re meeting. When scheduling an appointment, make sure that the prospective client you are requesting a meeting with knows exactly why. It’s important that they don’t think they are coming to a social meeting.2. Know your prospect’s needs. If you don’t know the services or products your prospect needs, it’s important not to schedule a one-on-one meeting until you do. This should be done during the follow up call after you’ve provided information about your services/products.3. Prepare a short agenda. It’s important to maintain your focus with the help of a list of no more than 3 points you would like to share during your meeting. Writing your agenda on an index card or small notebook really can keep you on track.4. Don’t do all of the talking. Allow your prospect the opportunity to share information about their business and to ask questions they might have about your products or services.5. Ask the right questions. “How can I help you?”, “What can I do to gain your business?”, “How soon are you seeking to purchase this (name of your product)?”, “When would you like to get (name of your service) started?” Don’t allow fear to hold you back from asking for the business!.6. Save some time for socializing. Some communications experts say be polite and socialize first and ease into the sales part of your meeting. However, it can be awkward to socialize and then out of the blue break into the sales portion. By socializing last you both of you get a chance to relax and get acquainted with one another more and end the meeting in a comfortable and meaningful manner.Implement the above suggestions, ask for the business and see the difference in your one-on-one meetings!Trina NewbyWomen About Biz"If You're A Businesswoman, You Belong!"

Creative PR

I love coming up with ways to get the word out about my business. Back when my partner and I started the doll company we didn’t have any money so I had to be creative. To this day I still love to be creative and from being creative I was able to get over $25,000 in free publicity for our company. I almost went into the Public Relations field and sometimes I think I should have because I think I am kind of good at it. Anyway I know that most of you know that I recently released my film RISE: An Entrepreneurs Journey To The Top. Before I shot the film I started thinking of all of the ways that I could market the film. So what I want to do right now is share with what I did as part of my PR campaign and maybe you can use it or something similar in your business.I made a list of business and women magazines. I then ordered a case of popcorn and packaged the popcorn with the DVD and my press release in a big envelope and sent it out to the editors of the magazines. I will let you know how that went, because I just did this.When it comes to getting the word out about your company you have to come up with a strategic plan and be creative. PR is one of the best ways to get your name out there. I know a lot of people talk about advertising, which can also be good, but most people will believe in your product much faster if they see a story about you in their favorite publication or on the news. I remember when I was on the John Walsh show. That was amazing because the show was national, so family members all the way down in Georgia saw me. That boosted the company so much and our credibility. It was around that time I decided to write the books about starting your own business, because so many people started coming to me about learning how to start a business and I figured now was the best time for me to get the book out there to piggy back off of the momentum I had going.Until Next TimeMuch SuccessAudreyAudrey is a business coach and the author of The Sister Inc. Blueprint For Starting And Running A Successful Business. She is also the executive producer of the film RISE: An Entrepreneurs Journey To The Top.

Updates and Social Networking Works

Hi all!As you may or may not know, I've opened a new website for sista-, mom- and women-preneurs. The url is womenpreneurs.info,. It is primarily an informational site and I encourage you all to sign up for email updates. In addition, I have placed all of the BBC featured businesses on this site also. If you were a featured business of the BBC and your site has not been added, please drop me a line using the "Contact Box" on the front page of the site.I am also still chugging along on my 60 day Squidoo Challenge. Let me tell you, it is a challenge. Writing on something new everyday is certainly stretching my creative and writing skills. However, as I get to the topic of my post - it's well worth the challenge - because Social Networking works.I joined sistapreneurs.com in November of 2007, but I have not been truly active until Feb-March of this year. I also purchased LaShanda's "banner ad" package and my ads are running on her network of sites. I was checking my statcounter the other day and I started looking at my traffic and where it came from. 72% of my traffic to my sales sites originated from either sistapreneurs.com, one of msoyonline.com sites or a person with whom I connected on this site. That is a tremendous amount of traffic! In February, my total page visits were 944 (for the month) . By July, it has risen to 1600 for the month.Social networking works - I have three blogs (not including what I do on here), I write content for Squidoo, I have two sales websites (which I have optimized for the search engine), I write guest posts on other blogs, I have a myspace, I twitter, I'm on linkedin and facebook. Plus, my new website, womenpreneurs. Whew! It's a lot of work, but since I'm seeing results, it's well worth it.I truly expect my page hits to increase --I'm actually preparing for Christmas as we speak.So, please, if you're blogging, tweeting, etc. and not thinking you're seeing results, look at what you're doing -- target your audience and write to them.I remember one thing that Richelle Shaw said in her teleseminar - you are selling yourself - the product is just a by-product of your successful selling of you. If you can get people to connect with you, you will be able to sell them your product or service. Stop selling your product and sell yourself. Good luck!CeeCee Woolard

What is Business Credit Cards?

Financial is one of the important parts of the business. Whether it is a start-up business or an established business, business credit cards can be an aid in building business credit. As your business grows, you will need a helping hand to manage your business expenses and income. Using a business credit card separates your personal accounts from your business accounts. Most importantly, using business credit cards is the quickest and easiest way to obtain credit.Why Business Credit Cards?Here are some of the benefits why you should apply for a business credit card.Interest-free credit. Using business credit cards, your business can take advantage of interest-free credit for a limited period.Separation of expenses. For business, handling expenses is a difficult task. For example, how many times you've had to pay for a business dinner on your personal credit card if you need evidence of that.Expense managed report. With this, it allows you to get periodic reports of any section your business expenses. In this case, your accounting department no longer has to manually account for all your business expenses as the card comes with itemized monthly statements.Staff cardholders. Your staff can have each business credit card, so that they can meet their business expenses without having to pay for them personally.Online payments. You can pay quickly and easily all your business expenses online. In this way, it helps save your accounting team plenty of time and effort.Insurance. With the use of credit cards for business to pay for any business travel expenses of your staff members, they should not only get free travel insurance but also any other travel benefits that are associated with the card. In this way, it saves your business the expense of having to pay for the insurance separately.Higher credit line. Some credit card companies are willing to give business credit cardholders a higher level of credit than individuals. This should mean that your business never needs worry about how to pay for entertainment, stationary or travel expenses again.Rewards. Avail rewards packages with the use of your business credit card e.g. air miles, cash back, etc.Hotels. As a member of a business card program you may find that the card issuer has a special relationship with a hotel that gives you preferential bookings at hotels close to where you need to be - so no more long travel journeys from hotels to meetings.Billing. With small business credit cards billing, you may have an option whether to pay the entire balance each month or carryover a balance to the next statement period, as suits your business needs, much the same way individual credit cards do.

I thank God for Dudley products on nights like tonight. I have been so busy that I have missed 2 weeks of going to the salon. So I decided to do my own hair. I used my Dudley Deluxe Shampoo which has left my hair shiny and manageble and then I finished it off with my Dudley's Hair Mask which I just got this week. I had never used it before and to be honest I did not know what to expect. Well I am pleased with the results after covering my hair with a plastic shower cap and sitting under the dryer for a few minutes, I was able to actually rinse it out and use Dudley's setting lotion and total control shining gel to set my hair with rollers. I should get back under the dryer but I decided to write my blog instead.Now I have been a Dudley Beauty Advisor for a few months now and I figure the best way to learn all of the products and describe them is to actually experience them for myself. I have had fun using the skin care system and makeup reminding myself how great it is to be a Black woman and all of the options that we actually have in America.Where else can you make money by making your friends and family as fabulous as you are. :)It is currently summer time and I am having a ball with my new lip candyThey are very shimmery with nice summer shades while tasting sweet My Peach Pop taste like a Pop up Ice cream and my Frosted Chocolate tast like chocolate.I had to get the accent shades of eye shadow for the summer. The sun bronzes my skin while Dudley Cosmeticshighlights my skin.Loving them.to see some of the shades go to my sitehttp://www.vjones.dudleycosmetics.comOk well back 2 the dryer. Thanks for reading and I will try to take some photos!!Valerie

My hair turned out nice. Thanks to Dudley's hair products. I am. however going to get it done by a professional stylist at the Dudley Salon here in Greensboro, NC.I spent time today for myself. I actually got my brows and toes done. I have got to use this Dudley's Brush on Brow to fill them in but other than that I got dressed up and went out with my 2 year old princess paying bills this morning.I deposited a check in my account and was shocked to see how much money I had saved up. I was so happy that I gave a homeless man some money and a bottle of cold water. You have to share your blessings.I took my daughter home and then went out shopping for myself and daughter. (My husband likes to shop for our son) So I had to get some sunglasses. The sales lady told me that the shades were on clearance. WOW blessings do come right back around.So now I am back home and about to relax. God is Great. . . all of the time.http://www.vjones.dudleycosmetics.com beauty advisor 5066http://www.spot-tv.com

The Price of Parenthood - A CNN Study

Beneath CNN's top news of the Democratic Nomination sits an article that reads, "The Price of Parenthood - Mother's love worth $117,000 per year, study says". You can read the article here.I probably would have passed this article but decided to take a gander. In brief it states that SAHM work 94.4 hrs/wk. The basis of the dollar amount is due to all the overtime hours we put in for a typical day. And get this a woman that works outside the home makes in comparison (average) over 68K. Now I worked outside the home and have come close to that salary ( I cringe ever time I think about it) But whether you are Mom who works outside the home, stay at home, work at home are far more worth all the rubies and diamonds in the world. There is no dollar amount to equate what my Mother did for me or what I do for my kids now. Although I would like for someone to write me a check for $1,000,000.00 once in a while. LOLWhat about you? Is there really a price value for what you do as a mother or what our mothers did for us? Comments are welcome.
