If someone had told me eight months ago I’d be a mommy-blogger/mompreneur/entrepeneur/work-at-home mom, you could have knocked me over with a feather. In fact I may have even said, “I could never do that full-time. . .”
But, here I am post layoff from a 130-year-old financial company who is now no longer in existence, managing Richmondmom.com with over twenty business partners sponsoring the site, ten thousand visitors per month, four thousand e-subscribers, and three little kids at home under eight. My days now consist of Twittering, diaper changes, Facebooking, grocery shopping, boo-boo fixing, Wii-playing, email marketing, sales calls, laundry, pb&j-fixing, more sales calls, networking; ok I’m tired now just writing about it.
So, to conquer the boredom I often encounter (insert laughter here) I’ve launched another enterprise, www.getyourmom.com because I’m certain there are other smart, motivated women out there who are in similar situations (downsized, laid off, transitioning to/from the workforce in some way) and searching for that opportunity. For a relatively small fee I’m sharing my business plan and what I’ve learned so that other marketing-minded mamas can do the same thing while promoting great businesses in their markets while making some dough for their family. Know someone who may be a fit? Refer them to me and I’ll gladly pay you a $500 referral fee when they agree to work with me: . Oh, and never say never. . .
