Ways to Support Each Other

Rating: 5 after 5 votes

Hello everyone!

I’m very excited to announce we have 8000+ awesome moms who have joined together on Twittermoms. With all the rapid growth, I just wanted to explain a few ways we can support each other and keep the site a healthy, fun, useful resource for moms who love to tweet!

Twittermoms was started to support moms in their businesses and personal lives. We have several options for members to promote their businesses, websites, blogs, products, and more.

1. Post a blog entry about your area of expertise, including links to your blog or website
2. Announce your contests or offers in the “Contest” group
3. List your blog or business in the DESIGNATED promotional areas within specific groups
4. Post links to your poll or survey in the “Polling” Moms group
5. Post whatever you would like on your profile page
6. Start a discussion about your area of expertise and include links to your blog

The one thing that is NOT acceptable is to send group or individual emails to members asking them to fill out your survey, buy you product or service, enter your contest or do anything else. This is considered SPAM and it’s a deadly toxin. A few bad apples can take down a great community like this, so we have to be a stickler on this point. Rest assured, this site will remain a safe, engaging, fun and and spam-free environment for all moms. We have already banned members for spam violations.

Thank you for your support, and for making this such a great resource for so many moms! Have fun!

Megan

I got a message in my twittermom inbox with a subject that didn't look like a spam, but when I opened it, there it was a spam. Really wasn't expecting it. But, I'm glad you're taking the bull by the horn Megan! Great job!; ▶ Reply to This

I will definitely make not of these cool support options. My best skill is graphic design and I ouwld be glad to create a free custom banner for any mom that would like one. I will be posting a few sample banners that I have previously created. IS this ok? I hope so and thank again.I think twitterMoms is the best. Finally I can connect to other moms like me.
