YOUNG, FABULOUS, & SELF-EMPLOYED
- YFS, also known as Young, Fabulous & Self-Employed, was created by Erica Nicole, serial entrepreneur, and Lauren Rich, CEO of the boutique public relations agency RICHPR. Nicole not only founded YSF, but is also a memory of the Young Entrepreneur Council and the National Association of Professional Women. She has received many awards for her creation of YSF and has been featured on reputable sties that include Forbes.com, Portfolio.com, and more. Rich graduated from the Fashion Institute of Technology based in New York City with a major in Advertising and Marketing Communications. Not only did Rich obtain her first two clients while still a student, but she now has offices in both New York City and London. RICHPR services clients in event production, writing, publicity, and social media.
- Young, Fabulous & Self-Employed is a an online magazine that gives advice on small business startups and entrepreneurship while also delivering news on both topics. They post original content on how to succeed in an entrepreneurial or small business throughout the whole website and YFS also invite visitors to write articles for the site. YFS suggests books, news of other entrepreneurial events, and tips in all sections of their webazine. At the top of their page, they have categories from which to chose from named Getting Started, Running a Business, Success Profiles, Savvy Startups, Stylish Gadgets, and Lifestyle; all containing subcategories organizing the site further.
- After researching and discovering YSF, I was immediately drawn to their openness to writers; letting anyone who desires to submit an article to the website is a bold move which creates huge networking benefits for both YSF and others. Inspirational posts about success stories gives hope to entrepreneurs everywhere as seeing is believing. Though the web magazine has many categories to chose from to explore, when I searched "fashion" in the search bar, I saw that the amount of posts about the topic were rarely posted and nothing truly focused on fashion entrepreneurship. After seeing all of the categories on the site, I expected there to be a section on what seems like a business with such huge entrepreneurial opportunities. I wanted to see inspirational stories about fashion as my entrepreneurial idea was fashion-related and I could not find one. Regardless, YSF is very informative, inspirational, and open to readers and writers alike.
