Frequently Asked Questions

 

What is Her Business Life?


We promote creativity in Australian women’s business.
Her Business Life is an extension of Her Web Life.

 

What does Her Business Life do?

    • Promote the enterprise, products and services of Australian women’s micro businesses that are based upon original or creative concepts to the general public.
    • Provide inspiration for Australian women wanting an online business of their own.
    • Provide tools and resources to help develop creative thinking.
    • Provide organised links to further resources.

     

  • Why is Her Business Life focusing on creativity in women’s business? 

  • There is something amazing happening out there on the web– there is an enormous buzz circling around women in business.  Change is in the air and it’s rushing in.
    • Ideas and resources are being shared.  Networking is bringing new opportunities and partnerships.
    • Stay-at-home mothers are suddenly occupying the same spaces online as seasoned business women.  Some stay-at-home mothers are building extremely profitable businesses– blurring the lines between the definition of a stay-at-home mother and a woman with a fully-fledged home business.
    • Seasoned business women are using their skills in the online business world after having children themselves.
    • Young women in business are exchanging their knowledge with older women with years of experience.

    There is a dizzying array of online businesses being run by women around Australia. Some are run full-time, others are being run around children and/or other work commitments.

  • With the flood of businesses coming online, it’s important to stand out. And it’s important for anyone wanting to start their own online business that they can’t just set out to do what they see others doing– they need to have a point of difference.

Compared to local bricks-and-mortar businesses, online ventures can be quick and relatively inexpensive to start up and often have low overheads. Online ventures have a reach that can extend Australia-wide, and world-wide.  

 This versatility allows for the targeting of niche markets and some very creative, even one-of-a-kind business models.
