Thanks, Jasmine. Glad you found me. You may want to check out FreelanceSuccess.com. I’ve been a member there for a couple of years and there are a ton of other published authors who may be able to give you some tips on self-promotion. We’re all in this boat together, after all.

Found your site while researching SEO.

I published a book titled Behind That Shiny Resume at 20 in 2009. I found it incredibly awkward to ask people to buy my book and it’s a hurdle I’m learning to overcome.

Thanks for the insights Kelly.

The word marketing has always intimidated me but this has helped me realize that being a woman and my love for meeting new people and getting to know them will now be in my favor. I think also being sincere and genuine, especially with all the new social media available to us is vital. Thanks for the reassurance.

Great article…..I just finished reading “Go Givers Sell More” which goes step by step into more detail on selling without being pushy & actually solving a persons problem as marketing as opposed to “killing the competition”…it really appealed to me as I much rather not have to tell people how great it am!

I love the fact that you mentioned listening and relationship-building as a woman's key strengths. Both are indeed very helpful in marketing and that's exactly what we're working on now. thanks to twitter and facebook, it's easier to find and connect with people. We often get very uncomfortable with self-promotion, but you just have to do it,right? otherwise, your business won't grow! We've recently launched our eco-clothing line and we hope that we really get to show busy, modern women like us that much more than just selling clothes, we genuinely care about what they feel and think. In fact, our blog was created for a special purpose — help women live greener, happier, healthier! Great post, love your insights!

Thanks Indigene — I still wrestle with it too, and it's my job! But it sounds like you've found your own marketing style that works for you, which puts you ahead of the game

Glad to hear it's been helpful. I love Debra Condren's book too — it's one of my favorites!

Well put! Your comment reminds me of a book I recently read, “She Wins, You Win” by Gail Evans. It describes that same philosophy behind helping other women get ahead.

I agree, MIkelann. And I love the resources you offer to help women take charge of their finances … I'm so glad Courtney introduced us!
