INTRODUCING MOMS UNITE!
I really enjoy getting to know so many of you in blogland! You make blogging fun.
I know many of you are moms like us (or women) in small businesses. Whether you sell your handmade goodies on Etsy, market your design skills or consulting skills, sell products in a home business or even write your own blog, there are lots of us girls out here doing what we love.
When times get tough, moms in blogland leap into action not only to help their own families, but to help other moms! And that is exactly what my blogging friends {The Nester} Nesting Place, and {Kimba} A Soft Place to Land, and I decided to do. We all have a heart to help moms who are setting up their home based businesses, so we started a group called Moms Unite in order to spread the love.
How can Moms Unite help?
Over the next two months, Moms Unite will be doing our part to give other moms opportunities to promote and advertise their businesses. Likewise, we are giving everyone the opportunity to find great businesses for services and products!
Like a lot of moms, we use the resources we have to help others. Kimba will be creating a fantastic holiday shopping directory for you all to participate in, and The Nester and I will be offering deeply discounted mom rates for ad buttons in our special MOMS UNITE advertising area of our blogs. Collectively we will link up to the Holiday directory as well as help direct people to those of you advertising via the ad buttons. You can place ads on either of our sites, or for maximum exposure, you can be on both sites.
We expect to reach nearly a million page views among the three blogs during the months of November and December, so that is a lot of exposure. And by linking together, we hope to share the good cheer with everyone.
Who qualifies for Moms Unite?
If you are a mom or a woman running a small home business selling crafts or products, design services, writing or blogging, this is probably the right place for you!
What is the cost?
Just $50 for two months in the Moms Unite area of the sidebar of either The Inspired Room or Nesting Place. Space is limited! You are welcome to place ads on each site.
What if I don’t qualify as a small home based business mom for this promotion?
Not to worry. Those of you with businesses that don’t fit the small home business profile for Mom’s Unite, but still want to be a part of holiday advertising, can contact me directly for premier holiday ads and publicity.
Where do I sign up?
Sign up at any of the three listed blogs to participate in what each offers. The more you sign up for, the more results you will see. And the more results you see, the happier we all are! Links are at the bottom of this post.
How do I join up with Moms Unite on The Inspired Room?
Click on the BUY NOW to reserve your advertising space for Moms Unite. Follow up with an email and your button with code. The button needs to be a static 180 x 48 (wider than tall) linked button. For other advertising opportunities, please email to discuss your situation.
Be sure to take a button and share the opportunity with your friends! Mom’s Unite!

I love hanging out here with you all at The Inspired Room, and I love helping moms. I am really excited to team up with my pals The Nester and Kimba to spread some holiday cheer!
PS. Thanks to Kimba for putting up with The Nester and I and our blog incompetence. Love you Nester and Kimba. And thanks to Steve the Blog Guy for all his help over the past few months to make it look like I know how to do fancy things. It is always my fault when things go wrong.

Wonderful idea! I did something similar a couple weeks ago where women business owners included a link to their site via Mr. Linky. I will be in contact about advertising my business!

Hi Melissa, I love this…hadn’t really thought about Christmas shopping in blogland until the Nester talked about it. Now I am determined to do a great deal of shopping from my blog friends’ sites, etsy shops, and the mom businesses that you post in your blog! I want to do my part, plus it will be fun meeting new neighbors and enlarging our blogging posse!!! (Big smile) Brilliant idea ladies!
blessings,
Debbie
