Hello Business Friends!
I hope you all enjoyed your Easter weekend. It is spring break week here, and I am working on a fun project for you. Can I please get your help with something?

We need your expertise and contribution.

Whatever your area of expertise is (counseling, sales, copywriting, beauty, marketing, IT, housekeeping, finance, design, etc.), you have information that the rest of us need. See below for how you can help.

In the next few weeks, there will be information coming on a Blog Talk Radio training class on tips for being a show guest and how to create your own internet radio show. Stay tuned! Also, if you haven't already, visit the KBWA membership association online. Full Membership offers fabulous benefits for business women of faith, and there is a free, intro level as well. We'd love to have you there.

Welcome to all our new readers...In Christ, Krista Dunk

     Your Expertise is Needed Please

It's no secret. We know that you know stuff. In fact, we'd love to know what you know. Will you please share?

That's the beauty of being a part of a community of business women of faith; collaboration and contribution. We can share our wisdom and make a difference in each others' lives. The information, skills and gifts that you have can make a big impact for someone else, and one opportunity for that to happen is being created next week!

Here is how you can help: What is your best tip for other business women, based on your area of expertise? It could literally be about anything you have extensive experience in, from parenting to sales tips, recycling to email etiquette, event planning to business branding, or from color, image and style to author coaching. Next Thursday, your best tip will be featured as part of an article on the KBWomen blog. Not only will you be sharing valuable knowledge with others, but your business will be getting online exposure at the same time. Win-win! Please send your submission by next Wednesday, the 14th.

Here is an example of what we'd like to see (and how you will be credited):

Make room in your budget to use a professional graphic designer. It wouldn't cross our minds to attempt our own plumbing or mechanical work, so it is also advisable to seek professional help with something as important as business identity (which is presented to the world). Schedule an initial consultation with a designer who comes highly recommended, and bring the following information with you: Mission statement, values, target audience, and 3 descriptive adjectives about your business. Make sure you feel heard and that costs are communicated clearly and agreed upon. If your gut tells you to find another designer, then do it.
-by Trisha Ferguson, Owner of www.IRCPrintandDesign.com

Please keep your tip to approx. 100 words or less. After the article is compiled and posted, you will get a quick email with the link. I encourage you to share it anywhere you can, including via email, on Twitter, Facebook, and post the link on your blog. When the post gets a lot of readers, we all "win" again. Google may even pick it up and list it when someone types in "business women's tips" and other similar search terms!

Please, send in your tip now via email to questions@kbwomen.com. Please use the subject line "My Best Tip." Wednesday the 14th is the submission deadline, but receiving them sooner is preferable. Thank you all! This is just another way we can collaborate for the success of all.

This call to action is also posted on the KBWomen Blog. Please share your tip now!
