Hello Everyone!

I was wondering, does anyone know of any grants or programs available for women who are in business?

I wish I could find a way to get my business out there more also, but we are in tough times now. Advertising is expensive. Whats a girl to do?

thanks
Connie

Have you talked to your Small Business Administration for your state? They should have all that kind of information and should be able to offer other help as well.

I know of some pretty inexpensive online targeted advertising sources. By inexpensive, I mean less than $6.00 a month. Depending upon the niches you choose, you could reach a lot of people. Also, I know of some "exchanges" where you don't even spend money. Yes, you spend some time, but hey... you have to invest to reap in anything you do.

Send me a PM and I'll provide links for you.
