It is an idea whose time has finally come - a blogging community for women who want to market online, but aren’t sure how. Think of the upcoming Connecting with Women blogging community as more like a training co-op than your traditional social networking or blogging community.

Connecting with Women members will have access to mentors who will train them in online marketing skills. The network will feature conference calls and trainings by experts like Scott Allen, co-author of The Virtual Handshake: Opening Doors and Closing Deals Online and a contributing author to several others, including Blog!: How the Newest Media Revolution is Changing Politics, Business and Culture.

Based upon an entirely new concept, this community of women will focus on multiplying the efforts of the individual by working as a team. Members are actually required to help the group on a weekly basis. We are keeping quiet about exactly how the co-op will work and what the responsibility each member will be to help one another. Just know that the time requirements will be small compared to the pay-off.

The Connecting with Women network members will use the power of Blog i360 technology to drive traffic to their respective blogs. This will not only save members time and energy, but also help the novice get more traffic.

Another unique feature to Connecting with Women community is topic exclusivity. There will be only one blog per topic in this network. (Some of the topics already reserved include genealogy, sewing tips, vegan cooking, essential oil use, poetry, quilting, herbal healing, acrylic nail design, and massage therapy.)

Membership is approval-based and the popular spots like pregnancy, Law of Attraction, parenting and child care will be carefully filled.

A feature that will be added to all after the Connecting with Women’s launch is that each blog will be helping to earn money for charity. The anticipated launch of Connecting with Women October of 2007.
