Where Are The Women Law Bloggers?

This morning (courtesy of a tweet from @DToddSmith) I read a Law.Com article by C.C. Holland called Where Are All The Female Law Bloggers?  It was a great article and while the stats are a little discouraging, that doesn’t mean women law bloggers aren’t out there! I personally follow several wonderful female law bloggers, and I know there are many more out there!

If you look at the ABA Journal’s Blawg Directory you will often see a woman’s law blog in the most popular category – in fact one of my favorites often holds one of the top spots in that category – Susan Cartier Liebel’s Build a Solo Practice LLC. And today at least there were a couple of other women in the top ten: Ann Bartow’s Feminist Law Professors and Althouse by Ann Althouse. Daily Kos is on the list and it has a female executive editor and several women who are contributing editors.

If you want to read some wonderful posts by female law bloggers check out this list from Law.Com.  Maybe they aren’t 50% of law bloggers – but they are out there and they are well worth reading!

Business Opportunities

Comments Off

I was recently interviewed for a spot on the Business Opportunties weblog and  I wanted to share the post with you all!  I was interviewed by Angela Shupe and she did such a lovely write-up, I really appreciate the opportunity.  They have a lot of fascinating interviews on the Business Opportunities blog that are also worth checking out, like this one about a neat invention called the Dripstik or this one about Erin Ely and her sale of organic products.

Yesterday while on Twitter I noticed that Angela also offer press release writing services, something I may be taking her up on soon, as I really should be sending out press releases!!  You should check out her Write to Press site, it’s got some helpful information on it.

Have a great Friday everyone!

Business Planning

Okay, so I’m working on not quite enough sleep here, due to the joys of a sick baby in the house, but I’ve been doing some reading and thinking about my business planning.  It would help me a bunch if any business owners could answer a question or two for me!!

Do you think virtual assistance is a good concept?

If you use a virtual assistant, what tasks do they perform and has it improved your business?

If you don’t use a virtual assistant, what’s holding you back? Cost, ethics or confusion over the process?

Comments much appreciated, or feel free to reply privately by email to laurie@halosecretarialservices.com!  Thanks!!
