Hey there,

I'm Belinda and another new member.

I have an online magazine called SheInspires.com.au that's for women and covering abroad range of topics - inspire and empower, business and career, fashion and style, beauty and health, community and family, green and fair, entertainment and books, online competitions and more.

By trade I'm a professional writer but for the last 8 years I've had a jewellery business - Creatively Belle - that's let me escape the corporate rat race.

It was through working on internet marketing strategies for Creatively Belle that I came to see a need for a positive and interesting online magazine with affordable advertising for small businesses. So I decided to do it myself.

SheInspires.com.au lets me write regularly as well as setup a series of online ads for other small businesses to promote their goodies.

Creatively Belle has both the online store front and a market stall at The Rocks markets so that keeps me busy as well. I enjoy the lifestyle, that I have more choice about time and effort.

I like forums because of the sharing - learning and sharing ideas. I'd hope that I'm helpful with my posts for others! I've plenty of ideas all the time - some good, some needing improving!

I'm positive, think manners make the world go round better, believe in being the change you want in the world and am fairly direct.

The articles on SheInspires.com.au lets you get a fairly good idea of what interests me and makes me tick - I think I've gone on long enough here!

Best wishes,
Belinda

Hi Belinda,

Had a look at your website and it looks like you've got some interesting articles I will go back and read when I have time... I have fond childhood memories of possum magic so I will go back and read that one for sure!

This forum is full of people sharing great ideas so I am sure you'll like it.

Regards,

Liz

Hi Belinda

I'll have to check out your articles when I find the time! :-)

In the meantime, I've entered the competition to win the earring stands as they're gorgeous! :-)

Thanks for that. I'm working on more articles today too.

I love competitions so aim to have a constant supply of them on the site. So you'll have to check to see what gets launched. I'm working on an abundance of pearl jewellery competition but that's not sorted yet but hopefully will soon(ish).

As for a blokes magazine I'm sure there are plenty of blokes completely capable of getting a good one going. I got mine going because I'm a writer and woman in business and wanted to get an online women's magazine going. You'll just have to get a fella doing it himself.

Having said that, I think 99/100 articles will be fine for anyone - not really just one gender because we have more in common being humans than differences based on gender. Of course, they'll all come with a woman's voice. But men like women so that should be fine.

Cheers,
Belinda
