Nancy Johnson

Nancy has been featured on such sites as HerPlanet.com as Women to Watch and on IdeaCafe.com. Her business ByOurShoeStrings.com Marketing and Business Development LLC was featured in a Work from home success article in the March Issue of Parents Magazine 2002.

She has taken her love and expertise for Marketing to help Home Business owners understand the basics of and learn how to develop their own business and marketing plans. Nancy states, "When you teach people how to do it themselves they have to power to move forward and build their own dreams."

ByOurShoeStrings.com Marketing was developed to help the small home- based business owner find resources and build marketing plans while working on a shoestring budget. Nancy admits, "I am a tightwad myself and when I first started had very little to spend on marketing so I had to be creative and learn all I could to make the best use of my limited funds."

"I started my business when I noticed, while volunteering at iVillage, the great numbers of women starting home businesses with little or no background in business and no marketing experience. They where not finding success because they did not know how to plan and find the target market for their businesses. What I want ShoeStrings to do is give them the tools and resources to move their business forward and realize their dreams." We are evolving into a support community and network connecting business to business online and off.

Nancy has been supporting Women in Business since 1999.
