This is the fourth in a series of interviews with women who work from home. Today's interview is with the multi-talented Char Polanosky who is a web marketing and design guru as well as the driving force behind eight different blogs.
Char is one busy work-at-home mom (WAHM), and I was glad to have the opportunity to share her story with the Work From Home Momma readers. (Char has also shared an organizational tip with us, but you'll have to read to the end to find the link.)
Work From Home Momma: How long have you had your own business?
Char: I launched my business in September of 1996 - so 11 years.
Work From Home Momma: What made you choose marketing and web design?
Char: Before I started my own company I had been working as a technical writer and kept trying to dress up very dull documents so people would actually read them. I was also the director of a computer-learning center for kids and had to do a lot of my own marketing materials so I learned by necessity. As my client base grew I took on new challenges and my skill set has grown from there.
