Tell me why You Connect Online with Mom Groups like this?
I am frustrated because I have been spending months trying to get my book published. I have spoken to many publishers and agents and most of them just don't get the power of the internet and connecting in groups like these. Why do you join a group like Workitmom? What does it do for you? Maybe I am missing something when I explain why we do this...Why do you guys get online to workitmom and sites like this?

Oops.
The
"his"
of
"his
online
comic
strip"
refers
to
my
husband.
Sorry
if
that
was
confusing.

You're
right,
publishers
do
not
yet
understand
the
power
of
internet
and
word
of
mouth
marketing.
We
tried
for
years
to
make
a
deal
with
a
publisher
to
create
compilations
of
his
online
comic
strip.
We
had
lots
of
positive
response
to
the
strip
itself,
but
no
one
was
interested
in
making
a
deal
despite
the
fact
that
he
has
40,000
people
visit
his
site
every
day.
We
finally
had
to
publish
the
book
ourselves
and
set
up
an
online
store
to
sell
it.
This
has
worked,
we're
paying
our
bills
on
book
sales,
but
I'd
still
love
it
if
we
could
set
up
a
deal
with
a
publisher
so
that
I
do
not
have
to
do
all
the
shipping.
It
would
also
be
nice
to
get
the
books
into
bookstores
like
Barnes
and
Noble.
To answer your question, I'm still new to Work It Mom. I'm still figuring out if this particular networking site is going to work for me. But I've been networking via my blog for years. It has given me the chance to get to know lots of other people who support my efforts and whose efforts I support. I know that without the information and offers to help that we received online, our business would be dead.

Well,
what's
in
it
for
me:
I
get
to
network
with
other
women
who
are
busy
juggling
with
many
hats
--
just
like
I
do
--
get
advice
and
give
advice,
learn
a
lot,
form
some
new
relationships
through
networking.
