I'm sure you've heard that you should plan your work and then work your plan. This is what Work-At-Home Moms (WAHMs) need to do, too. I'm pretty sure successful online entrepreneurs never sat down before their computers, banged out a lot of copy and became instantly wealthy.
I supplemented my Social Security by working at odd jobs after turning sixty-two. I was having a tough time making ends meed and soon even the part-time work dried up. Younger workers who would work for less were more in demand. I realized that the Internet was the only thing that could save me.
Lucky for me, it all played out that way. I continue to add to my business all the time even though I know very little about technology. My system's technology is there silently working in the background all the time making money for me. And you know what? My age or gender have nothing to do with it.
As a busy mom being pulled in all sorts of directions I'd think that any job or business you'd want would have to meet your particular situation. Have you used your computer to help you search? So many moms just use one to email, make online purchases or look for information on good parenting tips. All the while the computer could be the big solution to their work problem.
Still wondering what kind of business you could start? Every mom has experiences, interests, hobbies and passions. You all have knowledge that someone else does not. You are communicators!
If your child is struggling with something, what do you do? You research it! If the house needs painting you call other moms to find out what painter they used and if they'd recommend them.
So how does all this relate to working at home? Well, let me ask you a few questions. Do you use the Internet? What do you use it for? How do you find the information?
Of course! You click on Google, Yahoo, AOL, etc. to find your information. We all go online when we need answers, information or other stuff. And when we land on a site that meets our needs we tend to stay there for a while looking over the content. What does this mean? Before I tell you I'd like you to think about something you're passionate about doing.
Ok, let's say that you're passionate about scrap booking. You realize you can build a website around that theme and share what you know with others. Let's put on our thinking caps! What are three things related to scrap booking?
1. The materials
2. * Special scissors
3. Your unique way of assembling them all
Your knowledge of scrap booking makes it easy to build web pages on this topic. Now, there is another lady scrap-booker who needs new information on how to assemble photos. She goes to her computer, brings up Google and starts her search. She finds a few sites about the subject but one who's description stands out from the others interests her. She clicks on the link and it takes her to YOUR website.
The way you write about your subject is friendly and upbeat. The lady finds everything she's been looking for and she likes the fact that it's easy to understand. She feels good about the fact that she found exactly what she needed and relaxes. She now knows where to come for scrap-booking resources. Because she bookmarked your site she now occasionally returns to your site for information. Later, she buys a pair of your "special scissors." I hope you get the point I've been trying to make about setting up your own website.
Busy moms everywhere are finding a little time in their busy schedules to build their own online businesses. They just do a little here and a little there as they can squeeze in the time and before they know it they are WAHMs with their online businesses.
So, if you're a stay-at-home mom needing more money I encourage you to consider building your own Internet business to meet the needs of your family.
