I discovered Kelly and WAHMTalkRadio after I won a guest interview for the show, in a contest on another site. I’m sure I heard of the talk show before the contest, but before my interview (and of course still) I began regularly listening. At that point, I had been a stay at home Mom for almost three years and was venturing into the online “WC” (Wahm Community - a phrase Kelly coined I think).

I was intrigued with internet talk radio, though I had not listened to many programs. Kelly’s show was interesting and fun to listen to ~ and she has only gotten better and better at what she does. She has fun and intelligent guests, great co-hosts and recently added Resident Experts. Kelly offers various ways of listening to her shows ~ downloading the MP3 file, downloading the podcast and playing on demand. There is a new show every Monday, and I’m sure there are more like me who download the first chance then can so we can listen. I love having it on while I straighten up my office or write my to-do list.

Head on over to WAHMTalkRadio today, I’m sure this week’s show is awesome.

I’ll try to make this long story a short one.

A few years ago I was a Tupperware consultant. Tupperware had message boards that were accessible to consultants who paid for a website. The message boards were bad - littered with ads and not very helpful. A group of people wanted to break away, and soon a yahoo group was started to offer help. After a very short period of time (less then two weeks if I remember right) everyone determined that the yahoo group was just not what we needed and wanted to move on. So someone put a phBB system on a website and voila - instant Tupperware message board with all the free help you could ask for!

I better get to the point the woman who ran the message board had received an invitation to Ryze. Back then, it was by invitation only. I was interested in what it was, so I asked her for an invite. I was soon a member and learning the ins and outs of networking online.

There are networks for every topic you can think of ~ working at home networks are big for me, but there are also interest networks (books, hobbies, tv shows) as well as what I call “ask me how” networks (techie help, even Ryze help).

Ryze is great if you join to network and put in what you want to get out. Don’t be a fly-by-night poster, submitting your ads hoping people will pay attention ~ they (we) won’t.

Here are a few networks I am a part of ~
