SacWomen announced its launch on August 20th. Yesterday, September 2nd, SacWomen was featured in The Blog Watch a weekly column in the Sacramento Bee that prints a selection from 3 regional blogs from the previous week.

The same day, someone bought 3 books through the SacWomen page and made $1.43 for SacWomen. Add that to the .87 made through advertising click-throughs, and we are over $2!

Last week, two of our sponsors from Sacramento Executive agreed to also sponsor SacWomen - both women, although to be fair, I didn't ask the guy sponsors yet! I'd like to make this an all women funded venture.

We are on a roll!

Tomorrow I finalize our meeting place for our October networking event.

I watch with amazement as it all happens and I try to add one new Web 2.0 skill each day. And when it works, I am amazed all over again.

And to think not so long ago - maybe 10 years, I sat in a conference room with the senior executives of our company and debated whether to allow our employees access to the Internet, which we regarded as a grand distraction from their real job!
