MyWorkButterfly.com Frequently Asked Questions
Who Can Join MyWorkButterfly.com?
MyWorkButterfly.com was developed exclusively for
return-to-the-workforce women (moms), including those seeking
work/life flexibility. If you are among the millions of moms trying
to achieve personal and professional aspirations, want to support
other moms on their journey, find relevant lifestyle information,
become inspired and motivated by peers and celebrities, AND seeking
flexible job opportunities, you are welcome! If you are a corporate
employer/employee or small business owner/employee who embraces
women in business, then welcome to you too!
How is MyWorkButterfly.com different than other “Mom”
sites?
MyWorkButterfly.com is a niche social networking site built on a
social networking platform. It is the only comprehensive site for
“butterflies” who are journeying to find a career path in a paid or
volunteer role. Unlike other social networking sites like iVillage,
MyWorkButterfly.com provides extensive editorial content to empower
moms to become fulfilled and includes a robust job board. Live
Chats with a career coach and psychotherapist, relevant lifestyle
editorial, resources for adult education, childcare, eldercare,
entrepreneurs, and exclusive celebrity mom interviews also set us
apart from traditional “mom” sites.
Are all services free?
It is free to join our community and to peruse our job board. We
plan to offer value-added, premium service in the future that will
require a monthly subscription to members/business owners, and
offer related services and products that will of course, require
payment. We also plan to add relevant tele-classes, an ebook with a
franchise opportunity and off-line events in the upcoming
years.
What are some of the premium services that you plan to
offer?
As we grow in membership, we will be able to learn from our
members. As we learn, we will be able to offer relevant and timely
services and products that you truly need and want. With premium
membership, you will be offered unique access to business news,
information as well as discounts on products and service based on
membership level. In addition, services like business listings
(more than a profile).
Can I post job opportunities?
Please visit the job board on MyWorkButterfly.com for job postings.
Job posting pricing may be found in media kit.
Is MyWorkButterfly.com global?
Yes, we had our first UK fan on the MyWorkButterfly.com FaceBook
page during pre-launch.
Moms share the same challenges worldwide. All Mothers strive to
achieve self fulfillment – regardless of how it is defined.
You refer to moms as “Butterflies.” What is a Butterfly?
A Butterfly is a member of the MyWorkButterfly.com Community.
Butterflies have “taken flight” on a journey to explore career
paths while learning that there does not have to be a choice
between work and family. Our Butterflies are forever in motion,
never landing on one side of the grass or the other.
What domains should I whitelist with my email client?
Just add MyWorkButterfly.com to your list of approved "buddy"
contacts to be assured that you are able to receive messages.
How do I invite large numbers of people to
MyWorkButterfly.com?
Click on the Invite menu tab:
1. Enter Email Addresses
This simple method lets you enter the email addresses of your
friends separated by commas. You can use the default message
provided, modify it or replace it. Then send.
2. Import from Web Address Book
This method lets you import addresses from your AOL, Gmail,
hotmail, MSN or Yahoo email (if you have one or more of these). You
need to provide login information so MyWorkButterfly.com can fetch
those contacts. Once you import the addresses, you can select which
ones to send invitations to.
Ad Campaign Questions
How can I advertise on MyWorkButterfly.com?
Please download our media kit on the MyWorkButterfly.com home page.
You may email inquiries to
tstarr@myworkbutterfly.com.
Are there opportunities to sponsor content, forums or
polls?
Yes. Please email
tstarr@myworkbutterfly.com
with your ideas or visit the media kit on the myworkbutterfly.com
home page.
Will Butterfly host live events?
Yes, as we grow, we will host (for a modest fee per registration)
events in major markets. This will be your opportunity to meet
other members in a live networking event. If you are interested in
being a host in your city, send email to
bnathan@myworkbutterfly.com.
What is the best way to ensure I get my referral entered into a
Sweepstakes?
We think your best chance of getting referrals is by using the
Personal Bulk Invitation Link method. You also want to tell people
to click "the invitation link" so you get your referral credit. But
any invitation method will give you credit if the invitee clicks on
your link.
I'm getting too many emails from MyWorkButterfly!
Don't panic. You have complete control. Go to my settings and click
on the Email tab on the left side. Now you can check or uncheck
notifications you want to receive or not receive, respectively. For
example, if you do not want to automatically follow discussions
that you comment on, just uncheck that box.
What if I accidently block one of my connections?
Go to your Profile, click on the little “man” icon at the top left
in the black bar to open your list of friends/contacts. There,
click on the “blocked” tab and the person should appear there. Then
you can unblock him/her.
What if I Forgot My Password?
If you forget your password, simply use the “forgot your password”
link on the sign in page.
I can’t remember my email address.
If you forget your email address, that’s a much harder problem to
solve than losing a password. First, click the “problems signing
in” link and submit a ticket to Ning (our hosting provider) to help
you recover your email or apply a new email. Ning absolutely
controls account security/authentication, not
MyWorkButterfly.com.
How do I upload my contacts list from outlook to invite them to
join Butterfly?
Please open the file for instructions on doing so.
