At least a couple of times a day, I get emails asking for help. From PR to growing Facebook Fan Pages... moms have a lot of questions in starting and running their own businesses.
I thought it would be helpful to put together a list of Business Services that I have found, have been helpful to me and maybe helpful to you.
This is by no means a complete list of all of the Business Solutions and Services on Marketmommies.com. For our complete list - check out our directories. There you will find hundreds of moms who can help you. I came up with this list based on people I have worked with personally and have helped me as I started and continue to grow Marketmommies.com :)
Moxie Pear
http://www.moxiepear.com
My first dilema when I decided to do a website for mom owned businesses was that I have no website experience. Well, other than surfing the web and shopping :) During my career I had written tons of copy for websites - but I didn't know the technical aspects behind it. During the course of a year, I took a couple of basic website classes, contacted designers I found and surfed the web - looking for websites I liked.
I really don't recall how I stumbled upon Lisa Bacon and her business Moxie Pear. Fate maybe? However it happened - I am so glad I did. Lisa took my idea and created Marketmommies.com. Not only did she create it - but she put up with my countless questions, calls and emails at 2am in the morning and created online tutorials to talk me through using my site. She has gone above and beyond... and just wait and see what she has in store next for Marketmommies :) Our redesign is just about ready to debut!
Restored 316
http://www.restored316.com
Another web/blog design service I have stumbled upon is Restored 316. I found Lauren though the Mommyologist blog, which I adore. I am working with a friend on a blog separate from Marketmommies.com and will be working with Lauren in the coming months. I love the look and feel of all of her blogs which is why we decided to go with her.

The Mom Entreprenuer
http://www.themomentrepreneur.com
This is just a great group of moms. When Marketmommies.com first went live, I was looking around the web universe to find places to promote it. I was so fortunate that I found this great group of ladies! Traci Bisson is the lead Mom Entrepreneur and she has put together a valuable resource for all of us moms trying to make a go of it. Their discussion boards are so useful in connecting with other moms and asking questions of moms who have been there/done that. It is a subscription based service - but well worth the price.
More Great Mom Business sites:
Mommy Perks - Shara offers tons of different options for helping Moms and their business thrive.
Twitter Moms- Another great place to connect and meet Moms from all walks of life.
HARO -
HARO stands for Help A Reporter Out. Its a newsletter that shows up in your email box up to 3 times a day with leads on what reporters are looking for. I haven't followed this as close as I should - but I know several Marketmommies businesses have landed stories through this service. Its completely free to sign up - and a great resource for moms looking to drum up some PR for their businesses. You should also follow them on Twitter as the occassionally post emergency alerts for sources needed quickly.

Welcome to another What's New Wednesday! This is the post when we turn over our blog to Mom Owned Businesses so they can shamelessly promote their newest offerings. Make sure you contact us if you have a product you would like to plug on our blog!
This week we feature - Con Leche Watches!
It's about time someone made nursing easier.Con Leche™ watches were conceived and designed by someone who truly understands the commitment and challenges of new nursing moms: a nursing mother. Tired of writing down her baby's last feeding on scraps of paper scattered around the house and switching a safety pin back and forth on her bra strap, she decided there was a better way to getting it right. If all the important details of proper breastfeeding were handled in one convenient way, moms could spend their time connecting with their babies.
It was the birth of a great idea for nursing moms everywhere.
The Con Leche™ Watch. The one tool every nursing mom needs.
With a Con Leche™ watch, you can actually record your last nursing time and on which side. So you'll never have to worry about compromising your baby's nourishment. All the details are on your wrist in one stylish, discreet timepiece.
The straps on the watch are interchangeable. See below for the choice of colors! Purchase extra straps - match the timepiece to your outfit!
The watch is available at http://conlechewatches.com or at a boutique near you. If you don't see Con Leche™ Watches at your favorite local boutique, please let us know by emailing shane@conlechewatches.com and we will get right on it!
