Business Advice Day
I am excited to be a part of Business Advice Day. I am a big believer in giving back to the online community, and in helping people (especially my fellow women, and moms) succeed. On Inauguration Day, I and a group of amazing women will be offering up business expertise for free. Yep, free.
I’ll be answering your questions about SEO, but there are also some other amazing experts in amazing topics. I know some of these women, and believe me when I say they are the best at what they do.
Here are all of the details straight from the source, and I hope to see you there:
Ever wanted to pick the brain of a leading woman in business?
For free?

Well, on January 20th, 2009, TotallyHer is teaming up with some of the smartest business women on the internet to bring you a community service project in honor of President-Elect Obama’s Inauguration Day.
B.A.D. :: Business Advice Day
Marketing. Social Media. Taxes. PR. Market Trends. Branding. Life Balance. Business. Legal.
Liz Strauss, Anita Campbell, Kelly Phillips Erb, Jessica Smith, Kelby Carr, Susan Payton, Miranda Marquit, Elizabeth Potts Weinstein, Kelly McCausey, Lucretia Pruitt, Char Polanosky, Barbara Jones & Wendy Piersall.
No matter what your burning question is, these 13 experts are here to help and give you answers. And yes, we said it before and we’ll say it again:
For free.
Tuesday January 20th from 10:00am to 5:30pm Eastern, we will feature one expert and one topic every 30 minutes, with a one-hour break for everyone to watch the Inauguration Ceremony. It will be in a simple chat section of TotallyHer, in a laid-back casual environment where there are no big presentations, no boring material to read, just access to business experts where you get to ask questions directly with the experts who can help you. And, of course, there are no stupid questions on this B.A.D. day!
So what do you need to do to get in on free Business Advice Day?
Simple – all you need to do is show up at the TotallyHer Chat Event with your business questions. Every expert is listed below with their time slot and examples of what kinds of questions they can answer. You can pre-register with TotallyHer before the event to ensure you get access, but you can show up for one question or stay all day – it’s up to you!
Here are a few tips to get the most out of having a B.A.D. day with TotallyHer:
- Type up your questions before the event so that you ensure you get the advice and information that is most important to you
- Visit the websites of our experts to see what other questions they might be able to answer for you.
- Fill out your TotallyHer profile (also free) so that you can do some networking while you are here.
- Help us spread the word and tell your friends! If you talk about the event on Twitter, use the hashtag #BADDay.
