I'm taking part in a "virtual blog tour" to introduce a new book.  It's like a "live" new author tour but is conducted in the blog sphere instead.  Nikki Leigh introduced me to the concept, and I'm looking forward to seeing how it works--great marketing idea using social media.

Fascinating new book called The Women's Millionaire Club, by Maureen G Mulvaney, coming out next week, tells twenty-one stories of women who became millionaires through home-based businesses.  By learning about how these women became so successful, even with no prior business experience, the author extracts practical solid advice for other women (and men) who are considering home-based business opportunities.  She's earned the right to counsel other women, having been broke and jobless herself and working her way out of it by building her own business as a writer and speaker.

Maureen is truly a whale hunter, and her book is full of whale hunting stories from women who learned to become entrepreneurs, make sales, and do big deals. 

Her timing is right for this employment market, when many more people will turn to self-employment and home-based business from necessity.  I suspect a preponderance of these new businesses will be women-owned.  It's intriguing, then, to have a guidebook based on stories of similar people who have had great success, starting out as a novice in an enterprise of one.

The Women's Millionaire Club, by Maureen G Mulvaney is being offered beginning on March 17th, 2009 at 12:01 am. You can go to this page - http://mgmsuperstar.com/wjtc/exclusive.html - to access the order page and then go back to this page to access the bonus page. On the Exclusive Private Invite page, enter your order confirmation code. That will allow you to gain entry to the FREE Pot o' Gold Bonus Items.

It's pretty amazing to me to see all of the joint venture and cross-promotion activity (above) related to this book launch.

Do you have a home-based business?  Tell us about it!  What do you think of the virtual blog tour idea?

Today there are countless business opportunities for women.  Women are starting new businesses at record rates as reported by the Center for Women's Business Research.  But the overwhelming number of businesses co-owned or majority-owned by women are and will remain very, very small.  In 2006, there were 7.7 million businesses in which women owned at least 51% of the company.  Those businesses employed 7.2 million people--less than one employee per business.

Although it's true that the overwhelming majority of all businesses start small and stay small, I wonder why women-owned businesses stay smaller than their male-owned counterparts.  Are we afraid of success or failure?  Are we just trying to balance business and family?  Do we prefer alliances and outsourcing to employees?  Or do women lack the knowledge or training to know how to grow a business without simply working harder?
