Lately I have been inundated with SPAM – from unwanted newsletters, ridiculous link requests, unsolicited tweets from random people wanting me to vote for them, or for me to view their sexy pics, to lame comments on my blog!

I’ll be the first to admit, that when I first started blogging I was so eager to succeed that I did leave some non-thought provoking comments on blogs and I did email some people abruptly to exchange links. However, I quickly learned that this was not the way to get ahead and establish and cultivate relationships.

Here are my tips for healthy participation and successful self-promotion: more

Last week Forbes came out with their Top 25 Web Celebs, while I was happy to see Heather Armstrong, Ree Drummond, Chris Brogan and Pate Cashmore on the list, I was honestly disappointed with a few of the top picks and the disproportionate number of women that made the list.

While I believe Forbes list was solely based on numbers, my list is comprised of numbers, personality and of course my own personal preferences. The people that I have listed on my Top 25 Rock Stars of the Web are people who are inspiring and intelligent. People who are giving back to the community and are empowering others to take control of their lives. People who are controversial and getting others to think outside of the box.

And yes my list has a disproportionate number of men (sorry guys) to make up for the lack of women on the Forbes list.

Here it is… The Work at Home Woman’s 25 Top Rock Stars of the Web! more

It’s no doubt that Twitter has become one of the web’s leading social networks for connecting with like-minded people. In fact I’m always looking for new women entrepreneurs, bloggers and business owners to connect with.

But with this said, sometimes it’s difficult to find women who are really receptive to connecting and being responsive.

Often Twitter is just a one way street – you following the infamous tweeter.

Or people repeatedly tweeting the same sales pitch.

I have created the following list of 20 business savvy women and bloggers, who are responsive tweeters.

Last Thursday I took the day off and went to Houston to attend the 10^th Annual Texas Conference for Women, the state’s premier networking and educational event for women. The day kicked off with a continental buffet breakfast and opening keynote speakers, Isabel Allende (award winning author), Marcus Buckingham (strength strategist), Tory Johnson (CEO of Women for Hire and Good Morning America’s Workplace Contributor) and Dr. Mae Jemison (first black woman to rocket into space).

While all the morning’s speakers were wonderful and inspirational, I must say that Marcus Buckingham blew me away. I didn’t know anything about him prior to attending the conference, but my colleague who attended the conference with me could not say enough positive things about him; and after seeing him speak, I now know why! more

Tomorrow I will be attending the Texas Conference for Women; it is the state’s premier networking, educational and job fair event for women. For me this event is a fantastic opportunity to network with like minded individuals, get inspired and to learn from some of the industries top leading ladies, Tory Johnson, Suze Orman and Elisa Camahort Page (just to mention a few).

In honor of tomorrow’s event, I am sharing my top networking tips for events, expos, conferences and career fairs:

1. Get in the Right State of Mind! Be positive, listen, learn and see how you can help others. Don’t be pushy or abrupt. This is your chance to make a good first impression.

2. Body Language. Stand tall, smile and relax! Avoid slouching, crossing your arms, yawning and keeping your head down, these actions signal that you’re closed, defensive, bored or insecure.

3. Physical Appearance. Before attending any event, check to see what the appropriate dress code is. Most events will require or expect you to be dressed in business casual. Ladies, remember not too much perfume, makeup or jewelry – this could be distracting. more
