I love it when I find websites with interesting information for women and girls. Here are three I found today:

Cool Careers for Girls

Feminist.com

The Women’s Network

My online friend, Priya Shah, has a terrific blog (actually 2)! Why don’t you go visit? She posted this article today: Mind Your Blogging Manners

Read her posts on the Law Of Attraction, too.

I just found a list of sites that take press releases online. I haven’t tried them. If you do, please let me know which ones you favor!

I found an interesting blog that y’all might enjoy. Lisa McLeod is a bit like Irma Bombeck. Take a look and listen.

Hi Lois…

I’m curious if you or your readers have any favorite programs for eblasts. Results Mail seems to be the best I have researched so far.

My criteria:

1. User friendly and easy to use with limited design
skills/HTML skills

2. Capable of inserting downloadable images (photos, pdfs)

3. Option of visiting a website if recipient can’t see
the image

My clients want something easy so they can send out professional eblasts about their offerings complete with images.

I was going to have a graphic designer program a template for them, but some of these products on the market seem better than having them send out an image pasted in their Outlook. And Results Mail seems better to me than Constant Contact.

And Lois Says…
I have, of course, heard of both of these systems, but I haven’t used them. I save my money and use my shopping cart to send all of my newsletters, handle my products, and send out my autoresponder messages. It’s a great program with lots of bells and whistles. You can get a free trial of KickStartCart. Check it out. It’s a very robust program.

Another program that I’ve heard good things about is AWeber. It also allows a free test drive.

I’m sure my readers will have lots of ideas for you, too. How about it, readers? Post your comments here and I’ll include the best ones in next week’s Brainy Tidbits ezine.

Here’s something that WorldWit sent me today. I signed up for two of the free seminars. You can, too.

Why do we pay so much attention to women in history? And why do we reserve one whole month out of a short 12-month year to honor them? Because ordinary women, like your mothers, sisters, and daughters, created the history we celebrate today. In fact, one day stands out above all others, and it is rooted in the centuries-old struggle of women to participate in society on an equal footing with men.

WorldWIT(TM), the world’s largest online community for professional women, observes the nearly 100-year-old holiday of International Women’s Day (IWD) by partnering with ReadyTalk to host The Year of the Woman: Movers, Shakers and Policy Makers, a week-long, free web seminar series beginning March 6th.

The 50,000-women-strong WorldWIT organization and ReadyTalk, the premiere web conference service provider, have teamed up to recognize International Women’s Day, celebrated on March 8th during Women’s History Month, as the perfect opportunity to gather ‘virtual-ly’ together and celebrate women’s strength and resilience and the desire to gain economic and political parity through a week-long series of Web-seminar events.

For more info on how you can recognize this holiday, attend the web seminar series events or speak with the founder of WorldWIT, click here to review the complete press release.

Have a great Women’s History Month!

Sales is a great way to make a living. If you’re good, you
can make a lot of money and enjoy plenty of free time. But
when you’re working, stay focused!

Remember:

• Idle conversation with coworkers doesn’t pay the bills.

• Casual Friday doesn’t mean “relax your sales
commitment.”

• The day before a holiday can be a great time to generate
leads and close business.

• Prospects are everywhere! Let people know what you do.

• Don’t spend too much time with nonqualified prospects.
Close the file and move on.

• Increase your activity level during focused selling
time.

• Do not hide behind “administrivia.”

Yes, that’s right…I said “administrivia.” Administrative
work can be a lot like the game of Trivia—a lot of useless
information. While you do have to do some administrative
work to do your job properly, make sure you don’t spend so
much time on this that you forget to SELL! Keep your
administrative work to a minimum and do it during your least
productive selling time.

This tip is from the ebook I cowrote with Jim Wilson,
Sales Success! Strategies for Women.
