Girlfriends in Business – What’s Your Business Strategy? | Crystal Collins

May 10, 2012 – 3:56 pm

Friendship Crystal Collins, the Thrifty Mama“All lasting business is built on friendship.”

Alfred A. Montapert

“Today, more women are breaking free from the traditional, gender-specific roles and venturing into the business world. Not only are they holding high corporate positions but they are also successful women entrepreneurs who own almost half of all businesses in the United States.” (Per Go4Funding)

I love how women collaborate, how we share ideas and support each other. I know I’ve been blessed by girlfriends who have shared their ‘women’s wisdom’ and helped me make decisions, discover new solutions and, as a result, grow my business. (Personally, I couldn’t lead Girlfriendology without amazing women like Judi, Joanne, Julie – and other friends whose names may or may not start with a ‘J’!)

Girlfriend CRYSTAL COLLINS, co-creator of the Marketing Calendar Blueprint, also aka: The Thrifty Mama and part of the Savvy Blogging awesome bloggers, has some great advice for women entrepreneurs – it involves having a business strategy, not just ‘hoping’ our business will happen and become profitable. She asks the (possibly) tough question of women entrepreneurs: ‘What’s Your Business Strategy?’ LISTEN IN as we talk with Crystal about our Marketing Calendar and Business Strategy!

Pinterest Webinar – Marketing Your Brand, Blog or Business (The Girlfriend Way?)

March 16, 2012 – 10:34 am

FRIENDSHIP how-to-market Pinterest ebook cover40,000+ PINTEREST followers in 5 weeks?!

How can YOU (your brand, blog or business) be SUCCESSFUL at building traffic AND revenue on Pinterest?

Yesterday I announced the upcoming PINTEREST WEBINAR (see info below, including an affiliate program so you make money too!). It’s a little out of my comfort zone to promote a Social Media ‘offer’ to women on Girlfriendology. (And, to be honest, the Pinterest Webinar is NOT JUST FOR WOMEN and neither is Pinterest!)

It goes along with what women do – we share our ‘women’s wisdom.’ We learn things that might be helpful to others and then we don’t keep it to ourselves!

Pinterest has been a wonderful way to connect with new friends through Social Media. It has opened my eyes to creativity again and inspired me to try new things. Through Pinterest pins and boards, I’ve learned, I’ve laughed, I’ve shared and, to be completely honest, I’ve benefited. It has generated awareness, traffic and some affiliate revenue to Girlfriendology. (We are completely open about affiliate income. We never share anything we wouldn’t recommend to a girlfriend – plus we have a team who like to buy shoes!)

Thanks to the dozens who have already signed up for the Pinterest Webinar (next Thursday, 3/22) and amazing affiliates who have shared this webinar with so many of their friends. Again, that’s what we do – share things that will benefit each other. It’s much more fun than keeping good stuff to ourselves! Here’s the scoop :)

PINTEREST is the ‘newest thing’ to hit Social Media in a L-O-N-G time! Already at over 21 million+ users, it is kicking some Social Media butt:

  • Pinterest had 12 million unique visitors in January, 2012 – the average visit: over 16 minutes!
  • Pinterest is the 16th most popular website in the U.S. (and 66th in the world, according to Alexa rankings).
  • Hundreds of Brands are on Pinterest, including: The Today Show, Lowes, The Gap, Whole Foods, Real Simple Magazine, General Electric (B2B), The U.S. Army and so many more!
  • Pinterest hit 10 million U.S. visitors in one month – FASTER than any site in history!

LIMITED TO 500 Attendees! THIS THURSDAY 3/22 – Hurry!

Priced from $4.97, $7.47, $9.97, $14.97, $19.97 (SOLD OUT) – $29.97 to $39.97 (the sooner you buy, the less expensive!)

Lessons from SobCon – Amazing People, Incredible Conversations & Love

May 2, 2011 – 2:55 pm

Friendship Sobcon 2011 Liz StraussWhen passionate people come together, share opening and genuinely want to encourage and inspire each other, amazing things happen!

Such was the case this past weekend for me in Chicago. I had the honor of attending a conference unlike all the others I go to/speak at.

SobCon stands are “Successful Online Business Conference” and this was their 4th annual conference. (I went two years ago but couldn’t go last year.) It was started by two friends (and now two friends of mine): Liz Strauss (who I believe is the smartest, kindest woman in the business / social media world) and Terry ‘Starbucker’ St. Marie (also brilliant and kind – they make a great team!). (* It actually is a bi-annual conference since they hold a smaller one in CO in the Fall, I just consider the big one, the annual one.)

The conference is limited to 150 passionate people – so you get to have Read More »

eBooks – Sharing Women’s Wisdom | Girlfriendology Guides

January 31, 2011 – 7:25 pm

Friendship Tell Your Time Amy Lynn Andrews bookYou know things that I don’t, as I know somethings that you don’t. Right? That’s the Women’s Wisdom that we all share with our girlfriends!

From the time we have girlfriends as children, we begin sharing what we know with each other. From make-up tips to how to save money (even for a girlfriend get-together), we learn so much from the wise women we call our girlfriends.

That’s one of the many benefits of female friendship – learning from each other.

That’s also one of the benefits of girlfriends that we’re embracing at Girlfriendology. We’re focusing on sharing women’s wisdom in 2011. We believe that, as girlfriends – and friends who can trust each others girlfriend advice, we’re better Read More »

Soul Searching – Girlfriend Style

March 22, 2010 – 9:42 am

Girlfriendology flower logoEver been at a crossroads? Wondering what to do with your life? Unsure of what the future holds?

I believe in the power of women. I honestly believe we can change the world and change the lives of those around us. And I believe that if we take care of women (and female friendship makes women healthier, happier, less stressed and live longer), then we take better care of our global community.

I know from the inspiring women I’ve interviewed for Girlfriendology and in the conversations and communications I’ve had with women all over the globe, that we can accomplish things that are nothing less than amazing. That’s partly why Read More »

Girlfriend Advice – The Business of Blogging

February 22, 2010 – 3:50 pm

B&W women talkingAfter 1000+ blogs, and a background in marketing, I should know how to market my blog, right?

Well, in some ways ‘yes.’ I’ve learned a ton but still know I have a mountain more to learn. So this blog is in keeping with our philosophy of passing along girlfriend advice, so we can all reach our goals and achieve our dreams (together we’re smarter, stronger and more powerful!).

After talking with a girlfriend this morning about blogging and being quoted in this article by Cincy Chic, I thought I’d at least offer some resources and info to help you reach your dreams through blogging. Which, I do believe in! If you want to make more friends, promote your business, follow your passion and talk about it – blogging is an excellent way of forming a community and connecting with amazing people. But don’t just take my word for it. Read More »
