Being an entrepreneur is so hard. SO HARD. Finding the help you need and the support you want can be so difficult. Sure, you can search the web, but it is so huge that it's easy to get lost--or maybe you don't even know where to start. Am I right?

Or, maybe you're a small business that is struggling to get noticed. You are desperate to be the solution and support for other women, but you don't have the energy or the budget for major marketing efforts. You're just trying to keep up with the day-to-day. You want to increase your visibility, but just don't have the time to research options or figure out what to do.

You're not alone.

This is why we created our Creative Directory (formerly known as the Resource Guide). The Creative Directory is a multi-page feature at the end of some of our issues (both digital and print) AND as its own page on our website. We want to help women not only find the help they need, but provide a platform for women to get their businesses in front of the eyes of thousands of other female creatives business owners across the country (and the world).

Where else can you find an opportunity to reach thousands of women for only $100?

If you offer a service, product, community opportunity, course, etc... that would benefit creatives and female entrepreneurs and CREATIVES, you need to get in the creative directory.

Our next Creative Directory will appear in ISSUE 12. Rates are AS LOW AS $100 and the reach is broad.

keep in mind...

Your business will be featured in a magazine that is sold at Barnes & Noble stores across the country.
Our digital edition is downloaded by thousands of women.
You’ll receive a complimentary Online Creative Directory listing for six months.
A print copy of ISSUE 14 will be sent to your mailbox as a “thank you”! For FREE!
We asked, and found out that over 90% of our readers keep the magazine as a future resource which means that your listing lasts long after the magazine is off of the shelves.

for only $100!

We don't know about you, but this is something that we wish we'd had when starting Belong. There are SO many resources out there, but how are you supposed to find them if you don't know they exist?! This directory will connect women with one another, allowing them to use their talents to support one another and make things happen!
