tips for getting blogs to write about your product

here's a great post with how to tips for getting blogs to write about your product. thanks modish!

grow a dream, business or idea...

I am always telling everyone about ladies who launch, it's like I drank the cool aid. but it's such a great resource for women launching products/businesses, that I have to share. I first signed up for the free emails which I received for about a year, before finally pulling the trigger and signing up for a 4-week incubator.

I had so many questions, like; what's an incubator? how can this help my business? I already have a vision and a plan for growing my business, so why do I need this? well it's hard to know what you need when you don't know what you need. funny, after my incubator one of my first thoughts was, why did it take me a year to sign up??? I would have been that much further ahead if I had signed up right away!!!

I came out of my incubator fired-up, and with a modified vision and plan for growing my business! The incubator was a cool thing to go through, it's great to be able to connect and share resources with like-minded women.

what business am I in Today?

Here’s a simple question. Well, two. What is it that you sell? What business are you in?

The correct answers to these questions lay the foundation for a successful business. And a surprising number of businesspeople fail to get the answers right. Let’s review a few examples you’ve probably seen before.

What is it McDonald’s sells?  Food? Actually, no. They sell convenience and time.

Sure, it comes in the form of hamburgers and French fries, but what they are selling is the ability to get a hot breakfast without slowing yourself down on the way to work, the sanity that comes from quickly feeding a few whiny and argumentative children in the back seat without braking your pace to the grocery store, and the opportunity to put food on the table for a house full of always-hungry teenagers without cooking dinner after a hard day of work.  via Andrea M.
