Help for Women Turning to Home Business in Global Economic Crisis

A new Australian-first web site for women in home business has been launched - www.homebizchicks.com

The site is the ultimate resource for women who want to start a home business, or those who already work from home and are seeking greater success.

Founder, Sue Papadoulis, said a growing number of women were turning to home-based business, particularly as the financial crisis led to job losses.

"Home Biz Chicks is helping women realise they have positive options, even if they or their partner are out of a job," said Sue.

"My goal is to educate and empower women with the necessary knowledge and skills to start and grow a home-based business," she said.

"We can help with any kind of home-based business - from resume writing services and consulting, to card making or dog walking. There are easy strategies you can employ to get started on the right path, and then help the business grow."

"Home business is a growing labour market in Australia and around the world, and it is primarily women who are driving this growth."

Figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics* show more than 720,000 people work from home in Australia. More than half (55%) are women, most (79%) are aged over 35 years, and nearly half (40%) have children aged 15 years or younger.

"There is a huge number of women who want or need to work, and home-base business can provide great flexibility for families," said Sue.

Sue Papadoulis Background
Based in Perth, 38 year old Sue is a married mother who runs a successful home-based public relations business, Bliss Communications.

She is step mother to two teenage girls, mother to a toddler-aged daughter and has another one on the way (due in September)!

Before turning to home-based business, Sue enjoyed a successful career as a journalist and public relations executive working for private enterprise and government.

Having a baby helped her realise two dreams - to be a mother, and to start out on her own.

Sue began her first home-based business, Bliss Communications in 2007 just six months after the birth of her first child. Less than a year later, she achieved a six figure turnover.
