Have you heard about 
Global Girl Online? It's a fantastic site created by expat Danielle Barkhouse (author of 
The Expat Arc
 and blogger at 
Earth to Danie) "as a way to help expat authors, photographers, artists and business  women promote themselves and one another, as well as their products and  services to the global market." Global Girl also offers an 
online social community that is full of information and support - a great way to meet your fellow creative expats.
Recently, Danielle added a Featured Global Girl series. So far, these Global Girls consist of 
Natalie Tollenaere and 
Tiffany Jansen! My interview was just published on 24 May 2010 and I myself saw it for the first time today. If you're an expat looking to start or promote your own business, I give lots of pointers and tips. There are also a few morsels for the non-entrepreneurial expat - a little something for everyone!
If you're not yet a member of the Global Girl Community, shame on you! Also check the main site Global Girl Online and support Danie in her efforts to promote expats.
"The best advice I can offer is NOT to promote yourself online. This can  make you look spam-y and people will automatically ignore you. Do join  various social media sites and do keep a blog for your business, just  don’t scream from the highest rafter that you’re there to sell  something. Instead, give things for free. This doesn’t have to be  anything physical nor does it have to be monetary. It can simply be a  gift of your time and expertise. Promote others in your niche and  concentrate more on meeting the needs of people than getting potential  clients. If you meet people’s needs and prove yourself useful, those  people will become steadfast clients."

One last plug (maybe): I will be running a series of 
expat interviews   here on Clogs and Tulips beginning in June. If you're   interested in participating, email me at
