Sisterhood of tech-savvy moms
Moms are starting companies all over North America and one U.S. mompreneur says there is a whole segment of tech-savvy women who are building empires online.
Sharon Gilmartin Nicholas, a web entrepreneur and writer based in North Carolina, started building her online presence in April 2010 with the purchase of momsindulgence.com and networkingwahm.com.Now, one of her websites draws 200,000 visitors each month and Nicholas has created two other sites.
“Any woman that wants to get on the Internet, she instantly becomes part of this sisterhood of women on the net,” Nicholas said.
Nicholas noted that every mom trying to start a business needs to have an online presence and women are embracing that concept.
“You wouldn’t think of a female — especially a mom — being a “dot-com” mompreneur but there’s a huge number of women on the Internet doing all kinds of things,” she said.
