Expat Women relaunch + 2 sweet treats!


Hi Everyone, Yes, it's true!

After a two-year break, I'm excited to announce that ExpatWomen.com will relaunch for you this year, thanks to its recent acquisition by an expat investor in the Middle East.

The new owner plans to grow the site bigger and better for you in 2014, so stay tuned for the exciting relaunch date.

On a personal note, I wish to thank everyone who has supported Expat Women since its launch in 2007. Without you, the site would not be the treasure chest of information and inspiration that it is today for so many women around the world.

But wait, there's more...

Before I leave your inbox forever, I'd love to offer you two sweet treats over at my new sites:


1ST TREAT: 
VIP DISCOUNT TO HELP GET YOUR IDEA LAUNCHED & NOTICED

If you have a business idea burning inside you, I invite you to come join me over at Launched & Noticed... and here's why...

After years of answering thousands of Expat Women emails and reviewing 2,000+ blog submissions, it's been sad to see so many websites and email outreaches fall flat.

I don't want this happening to you (anymore).

I would love to create a course (and a community) for you that:

1. Gets your business idea launched and noticed 

By launching good products and writing emails that grab attention, I'm so grateful to have enjoyed:

  • An interview with a supermodel;
  • An unexpected phone call from a TV personality;
  • A one-on-one meeting with the head of a $90 million business empire;
  • A direct call from the head of product development for a company whose annual revenue is close to $1 billion; and
  • A buyer for my six-year labor of love, ExpatWomen.com.


2. Saves you time, money and sanity


3. Is full of practical tips and lessons learned...

  • Business planning;
  • Setting up your website and social media (on a budget!);
  • Writing website copy that attracts dream clients;
  • Choosing online software that makes your day easier;
  • Testing your idea sooner rather than later;
  • Motivating yourself on a daily basis;
  • Understanding website SEO, page rankings and online trends;
  • Successfully reaching out to influencers in your target market;
  • Guest posting on big-name sites;
  • Building credibility on social media; and
  • Getting through what Seth Godin calls "the dip".

Just tell me what you most need help with!


Come join Launched & Noticed and you'll receive (for free):

1. An exclusive VIP discount
When the course launches later this year.

2. The chance to have your say
I promise to personally write to you and ask what you'd most like to see in our very first course - so that it's jam-packed with the most useful tips, blueprints, resources, worksheets and video tutorials possible. (I also promise to keep your business idea and progress confidential.)

3. Free tips along the way
Snippets of all the good stuff, plus updates from the feedback received.


Sound good?

So What Is The Exciting New Venture...?

Hi Everyone! I hope you're enjoying a wonderful day/evening.

Remember last week when I mentioned that I had a new venture to tell you about? Well, I'm so excited to finally share it with you today.

Not interested in the new venture? That's okay. But please don't unsubscribe just yet because I have a feeling there might be some exciting 2014 Expat Women news to share with you in the coming months and I'd love you to be the first to know.

In the meantime, my really big personal news is that on October 30, 2013, I launched something very dear to my heart... a way to help frustrated job seekers get noticed (especially those of us who have gaps in our resumes from expat postings, parenting breaks, sabbaticals, volunteer stints and more).

The background...

It all started two years ago when I repatriated. Eager to get back into the traditional workforce, I struggled to get noticed for jobs. A recruiter friend told me that I had "too many gaps in my resume" and "was not stable" (because we had lived 3 years in Indonesia, 4 years in Mexico and 2 years in Malaysia).

Do you know how frustrating this feels? 

If yes, then great! Then you'll understand exactly why I decided to do something about it. But rather than bore you with text, here is a cartoon version of Our Story...



If you like what I'm trying to do, can you please spare a few minutes to help? This is the first venture I've started since putting Expat Women 'on a break' in March 2012. I'm starting from scratch again and would be so grateful if you could help spread the word?

Here are some quick and easy ways to do so..

1. Click 'like' on the Facebook button at the bottom of our home page

2. Post a shout-out online and/or email anyone you think might be interested

3. Watch our 'How Harry Met Sally' video [only 49 seconds] on YouTube, so we can start to climb the YouTube rankings

4. Paste on your site one of the gorgeous images from our Press page and let people know where to find us

5. Join our generous affiliate program here (and yes, expat bloggers especially welcome!)

Thank you in advance for anything you can do.

Ps.2. All feedback is of course very welcome in the comments.

We're learning as we go with this new venture and all ideas are appreciated. Thanks so much again!
