- A Little About Me:
- I'm married with three children - two of them not so little any more and are now teenagers! I have been running an eBay shop for the past two years and have now branched into the world of having my own website. I sell Christening and occasion wear for babies and toddlers, which I absolutely love.
- A Little About My Business
- At the moment my business is solely internet based, but one day I am hoping for a bricks and mortar shop. I sell Christening and special occasion wear for babies and toddlers. Selling not just the gowns, dresses and rompers, but all the little things that seemed to have disappeared from a lot of High Streets, such as Christening socks and shoes, traditionally made wool shawls and little frillies like knickers and bonnets.
- Favourite Reads:
- I like Stephen King & James Herbert horror and Marian Keyes & Sophie Kinsella to make me smile!
- Favourite Word or Quote:
- I haven't got just one favourite word or quote, although my eldest daughter says that my most used quote is 'We'll cross that bridge when we come to it' when she gives me her theoretical problems.

Back to Basics in Online Marketing

I was just having a look at your website some really cute stuff you have there...
I just wanted to mention that we are producing an internet tv show for pregnant mums which will begin airing in June. We are currently looking for sponsors who we will credit in both the episodes themselves as well as link to on our sites. I think this is a great deal and since we are both targeting the same demographic group though you might like to check it out. For more information visit our Mouth of Babes project site.
(This message is being sent to every member on Web Mums so not all of it is applicable to everyone!)
I hope you are finding your way around the site ok and using the resources that Web Mums has to offer. In addition to socialising with a fantastic group of women there is the opportunity to network and really sell your business.
Web Mums is growing daily and the traffic to the site is dramatically increasing, so make the most of your profile pages.
If you are finding the site confusing then have a look at our users guide and site map (you can find these on the home page in the navigation menu). You will also find the business forum a valuable resource in addition to perhaps joining some of our groups.
You have been given a whole profile page to tell the world about yourself and/or your business. Many women have it for personal use but if you are a business – this is your chance to really sell yourself.
You have a text box at the top of the page that you can use to describe your business, add photo’s of your products with links back to the products on your website and you can use it to introduce yourself and maybe a little bit about why you started your business.
Also, if you belong to any affiliate schemes – you can put the code here too. Make money from your profile page!
You have potentially 180+ customers on just this website alone and they all have friends/contacts and that is without the huge potential of passing traffic. Treat your profile like a mini website – word of mouth is one of the best endorsements any site can get.
In addition to this, you also have the facility to blog about what you do and you can also include links within this to specific products.
If you have a blog elsewhere then copy and paste it over to Web Mums. The more blogs you have around the internet – the better rankings you will get with the search engines.
There are new members joining every day, maybe someone will join tomorrow that could open amazing doors for your business – so don’t add a few links and never come back CHECK WEB MUMS REGULARLY. It is to your advantage to use this site as much as possible – that is what networking is all about.
Also the information that is being added all the time may just be the info you need to accomplish a goal within your business/life.
In addition to all of this, you also have the chance to hook up to an RSS Feed. This is particularly useful if your site has an RSS feed to your products – like eBay.
Yes! You can display the products you are currently selling on eBay via your profile page (if you don’t know how to do this then ask me). Then why not put a post in the Buy and Sell forum to highlight what you currently have on offer so that people will check out your profile page.
The possibilities are really endless and this is the tip of the iceberg to what you can really achieve! Web Mums isn’t just a directory – it’s a network of women pooling resources to help each other.
Finally, if you are really serious about wanting to advertise your business then why not take out an advertisement on the main page so that you get optimum exposure.
The prices are incredibly reasonable for members and can be discounted for 3 – 6 month terms. To view our current advertising fees click on 'advertising fees' in the navigation menu on the home page.
Also, add your name to the Business Directory List Post in the business forum - if you don't put your name down - you won't be included – please specify whether you wish to be on the front page directory which is only £3.50 per three months – less than £1 a month!!!
Or whether you wish to be in the free one which will be within the site. You will automatically appear on both if you have a paid subscription. All payments would be preferred by PayPal – but you don’t need to have a PayPal account to do this.
If you have any questions or you would like further help promoting your site, then please feel free to contact me via my profile page or you can send me a personal message or email me at nikki@webmums.com
....and finally - if you wish to reply back to a comment - always click on the 'comment back' link at the bottom of the comment. You should then find yourself on that persons profile page, where you can then leave your comment. If you reply appears on your own profile page - no-one will know it's there unless they specifically check!
