My featured WAHM series is just one of the ways I try to support work-at-home-moms, offering them the space to share about themselves and their business, while I promote them through social media. I’ve been there; trying to run a small business, while managing children and home, and it’s difficult! I’m thankful that my freelance writing and marketing business is a small endeavor, and (usually) able to be tackled during my son’s naps and bedtimes. But what about those WAHMs with big business ideas, a limited network and few connections? If this is you, SandCrate.com may be the perfect answer to your business-building endeavor.
Suppose I have a business idea, but need some help getting my idea to translate into business; I would add my idea to SandCrate.com, being as specific as I feel comfortable, from business plan to specific goals. Once my idea is listed, other users are able to interact with me, providing feedback and, ideally, joining my team. One of the concepts I really like about SandCrate is that it is a community full of like-minded individuals with a desire to network and support each other; while I may not find an exact match for my needs on SandCrate, the odds are great that another member knows someone who is a good fit.

There is a little of everything on SandCrate.com, and here are a few ideas that caught my interest:
Mama Kits: a non-profit organization providing birthing bags to pregnant women in Uganda
Nextdoorganics: a locally sourced, sustainable, community-based grocery, with an emphasis on seed to table education and service. Think co-op meets farmer’s market!
The Human Project: a sci-fi/ dystopian graphic novel project, with sights set on film adaptation.
