  • How to Package Yourself for Success--And Use the Media to Your Advantage

    Women are starting their own businesses, at a much faster rate than men are, because they're tired of bumping up against the glass ceiling in corporations.

    But self-employment shouldn't mean working harder than you did before for lower pay and no benefits.

    What does it take to succeed and get yourself noticed? Ellen Roseman, business columnist at the Toronto Star, has written extensively about how to run a personal services business and make it grow in an increasingly competitive world. She'll tell Wired Woman members how to get started, attract loans and grants, use the Internet for networking and form strategic alliances.

    Ellen will also talk about how to get noticed by, and quoted in, the media. As a print journalist for the past 30 years, with experience both as a writer and an editor, she knows what it takes to sell a story to and make it sizzle. She'll share some of her favourite stories about female business owners.

    Ellen's an enthusiastic presenter who loves to provide practical, user-friendly information. You'll come away with helpful tips you can apply to your business right away and a better idea of how to raise your profile.
