Women About Biz Connect
Social Networking Just for Business Women!

Social Networking is considered by many to be Part II of the Internet Revolution. From home-based businesses to large corporations alike businesses are taking advantage of this digital communication mode.  Many small business owners are reporting an increase in sales, better brand awareness and an increase in opportunities that they would not have if it had not been for this great way of connecting online.

In a 2009 social media survey by BlogHer a women’s blog network, along with iVillage and Compass Partners, it was found that "42 million women in the United States (approximately 53% of the 79 million adult women who use the Internet) participate in social media weekly."  That number has probably increased greatly as the number of women on the Internet continues to rise.

Women About Biz Connect (WAB Connect) a small business social network just for women created by WomenAboutBiz.com is making a difference in the way businesswomen social network.  What makes WAB Connect different is that the network is set up to allow businesswomen not only to connect, but promote their business in a structured and effective manner as well.  In addition there is consistent policing of the network to ensure that spamming and disrespectful content is not allowed.

Social Networking on WAB Connect allows business women to connect in ways they would normally not be able to.  For example, a businesswoman in Alabama can connect with someone in Hawaii.  She can introduce herself and they both can share information about their businesses and become a great support resources for each other. 

Furthermore, they can set up private online chats with each other and connect their friends and associates together as well.  Mutliply that scenerio 10 fold and you can probably get the picture of how incredible social networking on WAB Connect can be!

Since the launching of WAB Connect, businesswomen are uploading pictures of their products and posting blogs on everything from financial and health and wellness tips to  zoning information for home-based businesses.
