15 Days of Marketing Day Two: Building Your Marketing Resume

Rating: 5 after 3 votes

Day 2

Sign-up for a few marketing networks. There are lots of networks geared toward moms: Mom Central and Mom Select. Another geared toward savvy women: One2One Network. And a couple that have something for everyone: Communispace and BzzAgent. Marketing networks provide a way for their clients’ brands to reach a target audience using word of mouth marketing. They also allow for more in-depth feedback on products by fostering a community around their brands.
Become an Expert for a social shopping site like Wishpot (where I’m Chief Mom Officer). Right now Wishpot is accepting wedding and baby experts. More channels including Deals, Handmade, and Fashion are coming soon.
Apply for a contributor spot on a blog network like Blissfully Domestic, Type-A Mom, or Blogher (and by the way, Dads are welcome at Blogher too!)
If appropriate for your niche, sign up for an account at NewsVine and write on topics to establish yourself as an expert and citizen journalist.
