New Feature Opportunity for Startups

by Carlee Potter on February 8, 2010

SNOBS.com.au has been helping startup, women business owners with free promotion (in the form of Q&A) since we started up. What used to be known as our New Kids on the Block feature, has promoted more than 45 stylin’ startup ladies in the past 15 months. Some of them are pictured below:

This post is to introduce a few changes being made, and to let you know about the new benefits associated!

New Kids on the Block will now be known as In The Making – so it’s kinda like a mini-version of Success Story (our feature interviews with established businesswomen).

The other changes are:

  • Each Q&A will now focus on just one businesswoman, instead of two per feature.
  • We’re extending the interviews to learn more about each business – and the highs, lows, lightbulb moments experienced by each lady.
  • Besides the feature appearing here, we’ve also started putting the word out via Twitter and Facebook every time a new interview is published.

Like to see your business promoted here? To be eligible for a success In The Making feature:

  • You must be an Australian-based, female business owner (or part owner).
  • Your business must still be in its first two years of trade.
  • You also need to be a registered SNOBS’ Member.

Hi, my name is Carlee Potter. I launched this website (which I like to refer to as an “online magazine”) in 2008. I also like to refer to myself as Chief SNOB... although it hasn’t quite caught on yet. You can learn more about me, and SNOBS, via the link below.

Hi Carlee

I saw you being interviewed on TV last night and have now checked out your website. I am an entrepreneur with a company called SendOutCards. It is not my own business, but once you join you then have your own business on a MLN basis. It is fantastic and is going ahead in leaps and bounds …. does your website cater for this sort of networking – I would love to become involved.

Many thanks Vicki Bidner (also Principal of Noble Realty)

Hi Vicki, I’m glad you stopped by! SNOBS is exactly the right place for you to network online for your growing business.
The main focus of this site is to offer endless opportunity for women business owners to promote their products and services by offering advice to others via comment or contribution, or by being featured in an interview.

You might have noticed the site is undergoing a little reconstruction. It is in preparation for loads of new opportunities (which I touched on above) that are about to be offered to SNOBS’ Members.

Up until this point, the site has been free to access in every way. But I’ll soon be introducing a membership fee (I think a trial of $30 for the first 6 months) because I’m confident I have something worth selling.

And that is (in brief) step-by-step instructions and personal guidance for every member – to make it super easy to get your business featured on this site. Not just once, but over and over again!

So keep your eye on the Featured Readers section of the homepage because that’s where most of this great new opportunity will be published.

In the meantime, to give you an idea of what I mean by step-by-step instructions: check out and take advantage of How to: Get Free Business Promotion by Commenting at SNOBS.

ONE LAST THING: Full details of the opportunities that will be offered to SNOBS’ Members will be distributed soon, via the subscriber’s monthly newsletter.

If you’d like to see for yourself if membership will be worth the money, sign up here to become a subscriber. Anyone who is an existing subscriber will be given a one month opportunity to buy their membership for half price.

And if you don’t like the benefits offered, nor do you want to remain a newsletter subscriber – it takes seconds to unsubscribe. But I’m pretty confident you’ll like what I’ve got to offer :)

I look forward to connecting with you Vicki, and learning more about your business. I’ve never heard of SendOutCards before.

Thanks for the prompt reply Carlee. I certainly think you are “on to something” and would love to make the journey with you. I can’t wait for your new site and subscription – $30 is so reasonable. Thank you.

Hi again Carlee. I would love you to check my website and send a few cards for free (my shout). You get a step by step audio instruction from the actual CEO. The cards are then printed in Melbourne, and posted for you. It is so cool and an extremely exciting business in that it is kind of like the gift that keeps giving. The cards cost less than $1 and wait for the responses … Go to http://www.sendoutcards.com/vicki_bidner and send a few cards for free. Many thanks Vicki Bidner

Hey Vicki,
I haven’t had a chance to check out the website yet, but I just picked up your card in the mail today, so I think I have the gist of what it’s all about.

And thank you! It was lovely to receive something personalised in the mail. I think we forget what that’s like with so much of our communication being of the digital kind these days.
