Online Gold Mine Seminar Addresses the Fears Women Entrepreneurs Who Lack Technical Skills May Have About Using the Internet to Market Their Business

Pittsburgh, PA – (PittsburghNewsWire.com) – A survey released in June 2008 from Microsoft Live Small Business finds that 61% of female respondents who were small-business owners say they do no online marketing, and nearly 40% say they don’t have a Web site. These women attended Microsoft’s Vision to Venture conference held recently in five U.S. cities.

This survey, mentioned in The Wall Street Journal online blog “Independent Street” which reports on news, trends, tidbits and tools for and about entrepreneurs, also posed this question by WSJ journalist Wendy Bounds: “Certainly plenty of female business owners navigate the Web as deftly as their male counterparts. But the survey provides food for thought about women’s use of technology today in business. Do women shy from it or not have time to learn its intricacies more than men?”

The Online Gold Mine Seminar, to be held in Pittsburgh next month, focuses on women using the Internet to promote their businesses online and plans to help women entrepreneurs see just how easy, low-cost, time-saving and effective it can be to use the many online tools that are available to them to market and grow a business. This seminar is being presented by Pittsburgh-based digital coaches and consultants Donna M. Baxter and Kirsten A. Womack, who go collectively by the name 2 Tech Divas, and will show women entrepreneurs how they don’t have to be afraid that their lack of tech skills will sabotage their business’ online success any longer. “There are just too many online tools out there that are set up for even the most technically challenged user to implement in their business marketing, and the best thing is that most of these tools are free to use,” says Womack.

All attendees at this four-hour seminar will receive supplemental resources, including detailed Internet success case studies and an index of web services that can prepare them for Internet marketing success, along with an e-book by the 2 Tech Divas entitled “199 Online Tools That Will Empower You and Your Business.” In addition, four women entrepreneurs in the audience will be selected to receive a free digital coaching session during the seminar. A catered lunch will be provided. 

The seminar will be held at the Holiday Inn Parkway East on July 19th from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. To place reservations or to get more information, please call 412-816-1274 or go to www.onlinegoldmineseminar.com.
