Micromentor.org matches entrepreneurs with mentors to create short-term (3 month) relationships. It works somewhat like a dating service: you create a profile of your business, and after you go live on Micromentor.org, you can connect with mentors to request mentoring, and mentors looking for proteges can also send you connection requests.
After a match is made, you are asked to spend three hours per month working with your mentor (usually via email) and then another 3 hours each month implementing your mentor’s suggestions.
I’ve just signed up, so i’ll post updates on how it’s going, but it sounds promising. I’m very excited.
My Own Business is a site designed to help you no matter what stage you’re at in your business.
They offer a free e-course that covers all the steps, from researching your market to projecting cashflows to expansion. Quizzes and business plan templates also included. Might be worth giving a whirl! I know I will be.
Today I came across yet another request for free work. (Not from me) I see this all the time, unfortunately, and everyone who tries to score free work off of someone else is doing it wrong.
This particular sin was committed by a gal on a networking site. She wanted a web designer to punch up her page but not charge her anything. She was cash-strapped, see. But to sweeten the deal, she’d tell anyone who asked that he made the page and she’d even let him put his company name at the bottom of the site. Needless to say, she got flogged right off the board. People don’t take too kindly to being asked to perform “spec” (free) work. And the industry affected most by these requests is the marketing and advertising industry. (more…)
I kinda said it all in the title. http://www.justsell.com. Go! Darn near everything is free.
You’ll see that Duct Tape Marketing is on my blogroll. I love it. When you initially visit the site it may look like it’s just a bunch of programs for sale. It’s not–dig around, and you will find plenty of treasure.
Anyhoo, I’m passing on info on a free webinar that I have registered for, and you should check it out as well. The webinar is free, and so is the book, Duct Tape Marketing. Free knowledge–pass it on after the jump. (more…)
So I stumbled across a website that’s been in the news lately, called HireMyMom. It’s exactly what you think it is–job ads for stay-at-home moms or moms who need to work from hom at least 50% of the time.
This is a good resource for those of you who need help but don’t have/want a storefront. PLUS, and here’s the cool part, businesses can post their job ads for FREE. Yup, no cost to find your next Gal Friday, and you don’t have to find larger space to expand. There, I just saved you $300. I haven’t used them yet myself, so let me know if you use it and how it went.
