Top 20 Women For Entrepreneurs To Follow on Twitter
Posted on 20. Jul, 2010 by Natalie in Business Resources, Entrepreneurs, Social Media
As you may have noticed I’m a big believer in using Social Media as an integrated part of your business marketing approach. I also love coaching people where I can in how to use it effectively for their unique business situation.
Twitter has blown my mind with the ability it has given me to connect with a diverse range of terrific people from all around the world.
I’ve been able to reach people I may never have even discovered or had the chance to contact. In return people have found me completely by random and become fans of my blog thanks to links I’ve shared or retweets I’ve received from others in my community.
For all those people who don’t understand Twitter or bad mouth it – you’re missing out! If you want to know my key tips for using it for business and beyond then get your free copy of my eBook `The Entrepreneur’s Social Media Workout’.
Today I want to focus on profiling a few of the awesome women I’ve had the pleasure to connect with on Twitter. I recommend you follow them and here’s why: I appreciate their advice, their sharing of great information, their support, their style and the unique energy they give to women the world over.
If you enjoy this let me know and I can feature it regularly. There are so many more to mention!

Thanks for your visit Elena. I didn’t put it together by chance so much as pulled it together in the last few days as I realised I wanted to honour those women who I follow and continually do great stuff. Glad you like. I didn’t put together a Twitter list, great idea. I have my own lists that I use myself but will get on to creating one for this!

@thecreativepenn (for Web 2.0 writers, authors, self-publishers),
@irinajordan (a marketing strategist who goes to all the interesting conferences and tweets them ever-so-well), @MyMarrakesh (a boutique hotel owner and writer whose brilliant example of natural social media use is a daily lesson)….

Wow, this has been such a treat! Thank you Natalie. Of course I love twitter and entrepreneurs. Twitter – never in human history can so many participate in a daily conversation about their world and lives. This conversation will change the world – for the better. Entrepreneurs you are in the right place at the right time. It is your time. The world needs you to step up, get educated on how to go the distance and then run with your ideas and energy. In return, the rest of us need to give you help with business development, access to capital and the connections you need to succeed. Rock on Natalie, you are supreme!
Natalie
22. Jul, 2010
Trust you Linda to come on here and fire people up and inspire them to succeed. Your energy is amazing!

Great list. Have it earmarked to dive into and learn more. I recently did a post, based on an extraordinary woman I met through social media. She sent me an email describing what she was all about. I replied in kind through my blog. It seems to have struck a core with folks. I’d LOVE to have the women answer it in kind. I think how we define ourselves is a meaningful map with illuminating guideposts.
Natalie
25. Jul, 2010
Lee-Anne do post the link here so we can read it. I think it would be interesting to link up all the people I’ve met through Social Media and how it started. I often ask people how they first came to find my blog and go from there. It’s amazing what comes out of it.

Hi Natalie,
Thank you so much for including me on the list (@thedaringwoman). What an awesome surprise and an honor to be in the company of such brilliant and inspirational women. I’m thrilled to be of service by inspiring and empowering women entrepreneurs globally to dare to dream big, be their best self, live their best life and create a successful business doing what they love in spite of any fears, circumstances, challenges or setbacks. Hence to be daring enough to pursue our dreams with passion and gusto!
Daringly yours,
Francine
Natalie
27. Jul, 2010
Wow what a comment, and that Francine is way you’re on the list. Anyone who dares people to live a brilliant life is always top of my list!

So late to this party! When I was first getting started on Twitter I relied heavily on these kinds of posts because I had no idea who I should be following. Thanks @Thandelike for bringing up my name. So funny that we both moved to Istanbul from Northern California but ended up meeting on Twitter! I really like @entreprenette, she consistently puts out good stuff for people developing products. @indiebizchicks puts together great programs for do-it-yourself-ers. And @photobird is the perfect example of creative entrepreneur that I love to extol.
Natalie
12. Aug, 2010
Great recommendations Tara. I had one already on my list so will look into the others.
Ayo, Woculus

Natalie, this is impressive. I have tried hard to put together a list like this. Daring women like these should be featured regularly to inspire others.
Bravo!
