Hello Fabulous Women!
A great business – and personal — resource to check out is Selfgrowth.com, the number 1 self improvement site on the internet.
SelfGrowth has a wealth of information on a wide range of topics, from relationships to success skills, from diet and nutrition to spirituality, and from money and finance to health and fitness.
I recommend SelfGrowth for your own personal use, but don’t underestimate its power as a business and networking tool as well. David Riklan, founder of SelfGrowth, is dedicated to creating great opportunities for people, and has implemented a number of different ways to help entrepreneurs in many fields to promote themselves and their businesses. SelfGrowth has over a million visitors every month, and David is a master at turning that traffic into opportunities.
Here are some of the ways you can get access to huge exposure for your business through SelfGrowth.
Ezines:
Hundreds of thousands of people (including me!) have signed up for one or more of SelfGrowth’s weekly and daily newsletters on topics such as: Home Based Businesses, Self Improvement, Natural Health, Brain Improvement and IQ, Selling and Sales Skills, Relationships and more. You can advertise on these newsletters or contribute articles and reach a huge number of people.
Articles:
Selfgrowth is always looking for more articles on all kinds of topics. You can write and submit articles on your area of expertise, and once approved, your article will be published on the site and be available to anyone searching the site for information on that topic.
Advertising:
Selfgrowth has a number of different advertising opportunities which are very targeted and can help you to reach your audience. Remember, more than a million people go to this site every month, looking for information and resources on many topics — you can reach them through targeted, opt-in email blasts, text ads and more.
Become an Expert:
SelfGrowth.com has created a designation of Expert in a host of different areas related to self growth and development, and you can submit yourself and, if approved, be listed on the site as an Expert in your field, with an Expert page and profile which can include a description of yourself, your background and work, your published books or articles, your affiliations – any information you would like to share to help people get to know you and what you have to offer. For example, I am listed as an Expert in Coaching and Business Coaching, with my information and background, my offer for a free business coaching consultation and links back to my website.
Networking:
As a corollary to the Expert program, SelfGrowth recently launched a networking capability by which you can easily connect to and network with other Experts in any field, refer business to each other, collaborate and create new projects, etc. When they first launched this capability, I was literally flooded with requests from others asking to network with me – I’m still trying to catch up with the backlog!
So go ahead and check out Selfgrowth.com. see what you can find for yourself and your business!

There are an untold number of companies that would simply cease functioning without well trained networking business coachals. Others told me that maintaining focused websites will help me as a business coach. Do you think the use of websites like yours will make a difference?

Hi!
If you are asking about the value of having your own website, targeted to your area of expertise, in my opinion is it is an absolute essential in today’s business world. My website is the primary way that I find new coaching clients. It’s a vehicle for connecting, networking, establishing yourself as an authority and, of course, marketing. I can’t imagine trying to build my coaching practice without it!
