About connect2mums

Connect2mums is Australia’s leading online community for Mumpreneurs. Connect2mums provides a safe and supportive environment for women in online businesses to get together and share information, network and gain support. 
A recent survey conducted by connect2mums found that 64% of respondents identified themselves as ‘Mumpreneurs’; successful, confident and innovative entrepreneurs who choose to be self employed in their own business. Of the women who responded a further 17% were also thinking about becoming Mumpreneurs sometime in the future. These are professional women who value their time with their children but are also highly ambitious and want to feel successful as businesswomen. They believe that when it comes to success in career and in family you can have it all.

Connect2mums was launched in April 2009, and since this time has grown rapidly. Currently there are 1775 members with a projected growth to 10 000 members in 2011. Connect2mums has strong member loyalty with over 65% of visitors revisiting the site more then twice a day and more than 25% of members visiting the site over 200 times a month. Members use Connect2mums as a trusted source of information for both their business and personal needs. With members often preferring to deal with businesses and advertisers that they have developed a relationship or familiarity with through connect2mums.

The members say Connect2mums is one of the most welcoming and friendliest sites they’ve experienced and women feel safe to ask questions and offer advice and recommendations to one another in a supportive and
non-judgmental environment.

“I joined Connect2Mums mid 2009 and have never come across such a wonderfully supportive, helpful and inspiring group of women. The relationships I have established through Connect2Mums have given me strength and encouragement to soldier on in difficult times and the inspiration to reach for the stars and be the best I can be as a mum, a partner and a business owner. Connect2Mums is now an integral part of my life!”
