Cathy, tell us about MommysClub.

MommysClub.com was started to help parents who are seeking resources or information about parenting. It has grown to include not only parenting information and parenting resources, but to offer fun crafts for kids, quick recipes for the busy parent and much more. MommysClub.com offers personalized holiday letters for kids. In keeping the holiday spirit alive we provide letters from Santa, Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy and a Birthday letter from Santa (these are not form letters). The customer feedback on these letters has been outstanding.

We recently introduced a giveaway section to the site. This will be two fold, one to provide business owners the opportunity to get their product(s) in front of parents for free and secondly the chance for parents to become familiar with new products provided by parents.

Finally, MommysClub.com offers a wide range of advertising opportunities for other business owners ranging from free to inexpensive pricing.

2. What inspired you to create a website for mothers?

After leaving my job to raise my little girl, I started searching the internet for various resources and information on parenting. What I found was a lot of information in several places. I wanted to create a site that parents would utilize as a parenting resource. Providing parenting tips, information, fun crafts, quick recipes, personalized holiday letters and most recently giveaways. The giveaway section was added to provide parents the opportunity to get their products in front of other parents for free.

MommysClub has grown since I first started in November 2007.

3. Has MommysClub become a full time job for you? If so, how did you turn it into a profitable endeavor?

At this time MommysClub is a full-time job, but does not make a profit yet. I also work as a Virtual Assistant / Project Manager / Human Resources Consultant to support MommysClub and help my family.

4. What is the most fulfilling thing about networking with other mothers?

Since starting MommysClub, I have joined several networking sites and have made some lasting friendships. MommysClub.com has allowed me to partner with some exceptional parenting sites and the opportunity to meet exciting new people. I believe networking and relationship building are keys to becoming successful.
