Single moms are everywhere, I meet a new one almost every single day. Last night I met a single mom in graduate school with two kids. She works full time, so she gets up at 4 a.m. to study before, in her words, “her day starts.” When our mutual friend mentioned The Successful Single Mom book to her, she couldn’t wait to read it, so I gave her a copy. She just sent me an email this morning telling me how much it inspired and helped her and that she was glad she gave up some sleep to read it. And, she wished she’d had it much sooner.
I think what’s true is that single moms want and need the information contained in The Successful Single Mom, but if they don’t know it exists, they won’t get it and benefit from it!
Here’s how you can help me help a Single Mom today {and thank you so much!}:
1. Buy the book {series} for yourself or a Single Mom
If you haven’t already (gasp!), please do it now. If you’re a single mom, I promise you’ll enjoy it! If you’re not, well, everyone knows at least one single mom and they will be so grateful you’ve thought of them and gotten them a gift! Buy it here on my website, at Amazon, Barnes & Noble or iTunes.
2. Send an Email
A personal email is always the best way to tell a friend something you like and recommend it to them.
Some thought starters…

3. Facebook
Facebook is a great place to tell friends about what you like! Anything you are able to post on your own Facebook page about the book would be appreciated. The above works great here, too.
Be sure to join and join in on the conversation at The Successful Single Mom Facebook Fan Page. There I can keep in touch and help you with what you are doing as well. (Copy ideas to share with your friends is below.)
4. Tweet
Help us go viral on Twitter. Some tweet topics include ‘you are buying the book’, ‘giving the book as a gift’, attach a picture of where you’re reading it, shout-out your favorite chapter or re-tweet someone else’s comments. The key is to keep the conversation going. You can follow me on Twitter at: @Honoree too. I’m also recommending all of the great books I hear about through @singlemombooks.
Another Tweet idea is to add hash tags so that other people can follow and help the news propagate. Use any of these popular hash tags: #singlemoms, #divorce, #singleparent, and #success.
