Welcome to What Wahms Like!

Hello! Welcome to the What Wahms Like blog! 

 I'm so excited to share this blog with you! I have been operating the What Whams Like page on Facebook since April 2011 and have discovered that there are so many amazing women and companies who have taken the time to like my page and I have gotten to know. I started this blog to help spread the news about these wonderful companies and their products.

 A little background about myself and how WWL came to be..... I've been in direct sales for approximately 10 years. I also organize vendor events, networking groups and have spent a lot of time researching companies to see which ones I'd like to be a rep for. I have found my niche(s) and in the mean time, have made some wonderful friends and connections in the direct sales industry. As my connections with other direct sales reps grew, I liked their fan pages and discovered fan pages that they liked. If I was intrigued by the pages they liked, I liked those too.

Then one day, a horrible thing happened! I hit the dreaded number 5000. The number 5000 meant that by Facebook standards we had enough friends and didn't need to like any more pages. I disagreed as I thought I was just getting started at liking and learning from other business women so I decided to start at fan page where I could like all the pages that I liked, add more to the list and free up some space for personal connections on my personal account.

I thought about the name of the page. I tried, "I like it!", "What Stacy Likes" and a few other variations to find out they were already taken. I thought of trying What Women Like but then I thought I'd get fans of the movie instead of direct sales and small women owned business companies. Then it clicked... WAHMS! So many message boards and online communities reference WAHMS, short for Work at Home Moms, but it is now synonymous with women who want to run their own business, that I felt it was the perfect name. That is how What Wahms Like was born!

 Now that I had a name, I started to like the pages that I had liked on my personal page. Next thing I knew, I started finding new pages that my friends liked or that the pages I liked had followed. I kept looking and clicking and delighting in the fact that there are so many wonderfully clever business women out there. I always stopped by and left them a little note telling them who I was and what I was doing. Next thing I knew, others started to like my page back and leave me little messages of sales they were having or asking me to like their friend's pages.

 Now, on Dec 26, 2011, we have 2,551 fans of the page and continue to grow. I have come to find that this page has become a passion of mine and that I enjoy helping women connect and share their businesses. I look forward to getting to know everyone and see what new and wonderful products I will come across in time for our 1 year anniversary. If you'd like to visit our fan page, please go to www.facebook.com/whatwahmslike - Please make sure to like the page and leave me a comment telling me you found my blog.

Thanks so much!
