Link directly from your website to your private group within our site or simply notify the people you would like to join your group and your info will not be posted to the directory. You schedule and moderate your group. You approve the memberships to your group. What you don't have to do is spend time with set up and maintaining or updating your forum.

Our History

The Founder of the GypsyOwl™ Organization, Deborah Bryan of Texas, began the GypsyOwl™ trademark name in the spring of 2002. At first the mission was to promote artists, create an artist network and, in general to encourage each other while practicing business skills associated with art work creation. The group soon included numerous crafts people and expanded to authors, herbalists and motivational speakers. This unlikely mix of skills provided a platform for the 'creativity connection' that GypsyOwl™ had envisioned right from the start.

Today the GypsyOwl™ Organization has members from many walks of life. Professors, architects, artists, life coaches, artist couches, home-based business owners, authors, actors, painters, herbalists, motivational speakers, inspirational writers and crafts persons. In addition, the group has attracted students of the arts as well as business. The network brings a variety of skills and experience to the table. The e-Commerce services have been provided since the summer of 2006 which include a vast product and service line as well as a variety of support services.

GypsyOwl™ began selling digital artwork on a cafepress website in the winter of 2005. By the summer of that same year, she began helping others to open their art websites. In the spring of 2006 the GypsyOwl™ brand began to shop for affiliates. After extensive 'shopping' the need for a network became evident. By the summer of 2006, GypsyOwl™ had established the Organization, the GypsyOwl™ Commerce Organization and the GypsyOwl™ Organization Small Business Network.

Now 2007, the new website is launching, the membership is duplicating and the e-commerce solutions are a big hit. There is a gallery of websites to showcase and the newest feature (Member's Pages) of the networking business is about to be launched. When discussing the journey and the mission of the GypsyOwl™ Commerce Organization, GypsyOwl™ said;

“It is an extraordinary experience to help people who can benefit from having guidance in promoting their art, hobby or craft into a business. Being a non-profit will allow me to provide affordable assistance to folks who might otherwise not have the opportunity to supplement their incomes with activities that they already enjoy”.

The future is even more promising than the past. As the organization grows, more opportunities will be available to more people. Volunteerism will increase, funds will become available from the fees, donations and advertisements that the organization hosts. Membership fees as well as affiliate income will also contribute to the abilities of the organization to improve and to expand on the services that they offer. One of the most unique aspects of the GypsyOwl™ Organization as one customer put it;

“The GypsyOwl™ Organization is like a virtual chamber of commerce, without the distractions of the open net. Meaning that the 'family friendly/family safe' policy creates an opportunity to expand into the virtual world without having to wade through content that doesn't meet the standards that GypsyOwl™ is known for”.

The highest standards for content set the GypsyOwl™ Organization Network apart from the main stream networking sites. Additionally, the GypsyOwl™ volunteer staff wade through volumes of advertisements to find the most appropriate business networking products and services on the market today. This process will not guarantee absolute compliance with the GypsyOwl™ 'family friendly/family safe' policy, however, it does come very close to perfection. Additionally, you can be assured that if you find questionable content and report it, you will be greeted with gratitude for helping us meet that goal.
