You made it! Welcome to Square’s togetHER community 🙌
Our purpose is for you to find connection, advice, encouragement, and community with fellow women in business and allies. This community is built for and by you, so make it your own.
First step: Introduce yourself in this thread! We want to get to know each and everyone one of you here. Stuck on how you should introduce yourself to other lady bosses? Here are some things to cover: Tell us who you are, what you’re working on and what type of business you own. If you have an online store, feel free to share with the group!
Our guiding principles
We all want productive, friendly conversation propelling us forward. Keep these in mind when posting:
- Share actionable information/material. We want this group to provide advice and actions that you can implement immediately to improve your business. Give context when asking questions and be detailed in your responses. Post about the difficult things so we can figure out an answer together as a community.
- Assume good intent. Tone on the internet is very difficult to convey. Let’s assume that everyone posting here comes from a place of good intention, so we can do the same. If anything feels amiss, please report it to our moderators.
- Treat your fellow sellers with respect. We all come from different backgrounds and may not always agree with one another, but we can always treat each other with respect. We have a zero tolerance policy for harassment or abuse of sellers or moderators because this should be a happy place on the internet.
- No spam or excessive self promotion. We’ve all seen those groups with the same people posting the same thing every single day. Let’s respect each other’s time and refrain from this type of excessive self promotion. But, by all means, when it’s time to celebrate you, shout that accomplishment from the rooftops!
Can’t wait to see your posts and celebrate you! 🎉
Hi, my name is Verla Kay and I'm excited to be able to be a part of this community. I'm a long-time children's author of historical picture books who just finished compiling and self-publishing my father's WWII fighter pilot biography, Wings Forever, for adults and older kids. It has taken me over 15 years to complete this book and I'm truly proud of how it turned out. This is my first venture into self-publishing and I've found the process to be completely mind-boggling and even overwhelming at times.
I'm hoping to get ideas here that can help me market this book and get it noticed. Publisher's Weekly recommended it in their Indie Spotlight books for November, 2021, which I'm thrilled about! I created a store on my website, https://verlakay.com using Square as one way to buy the book (along with Amazon, Barnes and Noble, etc.) but I'm completely at a loss when it comes to placing ads, setting up an Etsy store (is that even feasible for just one product?) etc. Suggestions and ideas would be VERY welcome!
You can see the trailer I created to introduce the book (and see just a few of the 170 vintage photos that are in the book) by going to this link: https://youtu.be/bHcTP5CCUgA
Hi everyone my name is Jenn! I am really new to the seller community and learning what the ins and outs are and the rules of what's ok and what's not. I see a lot, well most posts I see are people who have started their own business which is AMAZING!
I am part of an MLM that I found I could really get behind. And I wondered if anyone else here was part of am MLM?
Hi
Welcome and I wish you much success...I actually use to be a part of one and loved my experience. It's what helped me realize I could do it myself instead of dealing with a middleman.
