Homeschool Moms Work at Home




Actually if you are a mom that home schools, you are the perfect candidate for Working at Home!
As a homeschooler myself, I have found that working online has enhanced our school curriculum in many ways. In fact I have incorporated it into our weekly class schedule! With the truculent economy and job security at an all time low, I feel that it is imperative to the future of our children's financial security to learn business skills much earlier than they are taught in either public or private learning institutions.

I actually found a Work Online University called the Wealthy Affiliate. While it is geared towards adults, children can also benefit from the skills that are taught in this highly interactive format.

The Wealthy Affiliate teaches it's members how to make money working at home online. This Online University specializes in Affiliate Marketing. Of course Marketing Strategies are stressed, but so is product creativity. Which I think is critical for everyone, especially our children as they tend to have fewer inhibitions when it comes thinking of new things to invent.

The Wealthy Affiliate Membership Site is designed for Beginner through Advanced Marketers. It truly is a one of a kind learning experience. The beginners are mentored by more advanced members and of course the owners--Kyle and Carson, two young multi-millionaires who started Internet Marketing on a shoe string budget while they were in College.

I believe that it is their collegiate experience that has directed them to set up this massive, yet user friendly site that contains every tutorial, guide and tool that you need to learn how to make money online.

Not only I have become very successful from the classes, videos and mentoring that I have received from Wealthy Affiliate, but my children 13, 11 and 9 are starting their own online business (with my supervision of course).

After learning how affiliate marketing works, they have decided on a start up idea, I have given them a budget and they are already designing a website and delegating duties amongst themselves. This would not be possible without our Wealthy Affiliate Membership.

Home school Moms Work at Home with Wealthy Affiliate, you'll be teaching your children a life skill that they will thank you for.

Free Work for Stay At Home Moms






Is there really a way to start up an online business that is absolutely free? The answer is yes!



So many moms tell me that they want to start up a home based business online, but they just don't have the capital or knowledge of how to begin.



In my opinion, working online is one of the best options available for stay at home moms. You can actually start a genuine work from home job with no money right now.


Before I explain how, you need to understand something. One of the biggest reasons that so many people fail or never even get off the ground with their home based business is because there is a lack of commitment and true understanding of what it takes to make money online.


You must commit yourself totally to your business. Decide what type of area you want to concentrate on and stick with it. Do not hop around from Biz Opp to Biz Opp. Here are some questions/statements you need to ask yourself to find out if working online is really a good match for you.


1. I can type?

2. I want to work from home on my computer.

3. I like the thought of working online.

4. I can work at least 20 hours per week to start.

5. I like to share my experiences and opinions with others via writing.

6. I can focus on the task at hand and not get side tracked.

7. I am willing to do whatever it takes to succeed.

8. I am willing to learn. So when I am curious about something, I don't mind doing a little research.

9. I have a word processing program and winzip on my computer.

10. I understand that a home based business is just that--a business and there for I will keep accurate records. I may even need to visit an accountant to see what the tax benefits are for starting a business.

11. I don't need the comradery or recognition that you get from working with people.

If you truly want to make money online, then you should have answered every question with a yes.

Let's talk about number 10 for just a minute. If you want to make money online, it can often be a lonely place. Especially if you aren't part of a forum or business opportunity that isn't interactive. But no matter how much interaction you have online, it is not the same as going to the office or a sales meeting and getting human contact and recognition.

Some people truly can not handle this type of working environment. And that is OK, as long as you are willing to recognize this within yourself.

If you are ready, and you are looking for a legitimate way to work online for free then you can visit http://www.legitimateinternet.com/ for great resources and a free online business.

Jobs For Stay at Home Moms


Are there really any legitimate jobs out there for stay at home moms?

Before we get into the answer for that question, let's consider the difference between jobs and business opportunities and which one is better for you.

Of course a job is when you work for someone else, during certain hours, performing certain tasks for a certain rate. Note key word here "certain." There is certainly a constant in having a J.O.B. (also known as Just Over Broke). While you are guaranteed a certain salary you also have to work those designated hours and your income is probably capped. Plus you have to answer to a Boss. Not always an easy thing to do when the baby wants to be fed!

In my opinion having your own home based business is the only way to go if you are a stay at home mom. Not only are the tax benefits incredible, but the endless opportunities are too appealing to not consider.

Just like a Job, being a success with your own business requires commitment. Usually, when home based businesses fail, it is due to not treating them with the discipline that a J.O.B. requires. The good news is, if you have had a job in the past, then you probably have the work ethic it takes to have a successful home based business.

Just remember this, once you find your niche and get your business off the ground, ask yourself this question every day.

"If I were a Boss, would I pay me today?"

Just reading this question is so powerful that I have kept it on a post it note attached to my computer from the first day that I started my Home Based Business.

The best advice I ever got was from some that explained this to me-- how doing little things every day would lead to bigger returns as time went by. But of course the key to this whole methodology is Focusing.

If you are looking for a legitimate work at home opportunity for stay at home moms then you should check out $5 Bucks a Day. This ebook and forum explains step-by-step how to have a lucrative and legitimate work at home Business by doing little things that bring in the income stay at home moms need.

Activities For Stay at Home Moms

If you are a stay at home mom, you may at times feel like a shut in. Especially if you are the mother of a Preschooler(s).

Between diapers, bottles, cereal, and naptimes, getting out of the house can sometimes feel like more of a chore than an experience you used to enjoy. I know, believe me, been there done that.
One of my favorite activites for stay at home moms was my participation in a group called M.O.P.S. which stands for Mothers of Preschoolers. If there was ever a place where I was totally understood, it was at a M.O.P.S meeting! I could really let my hair down, be myself and just vent if I had to.
This organization really understands the needs of Moms with little ones at home. Here you will find activities for your children and adult time for you. Often times, it is just what you need to regain your sanity. Plus, you will feel understood, which so many stay at home moms don't.
Let's face it, staying at home can be one of the most thankless jobs there is. Especially if you went from the workforce to the full time mommy force. Unlike work, there's no paycheck or promotions for work well done. Of course, you children will reap the benefits of having you there, but in order for you to be the best that you can be, you need to feel appreciated too.
M.O.P.S. leaders and members understand this. Often times there are speakers that come to meetings with helpful lectures on things like family budgets, jobs for stay at home moms, maritial relations, infant care and more. Some of the best resources at hand are from other moms dealing with the same issues that you do on a daily basis.
Another advantage of attending M.O.P.S meetings where the subgroups that would sprout from a bunch of moms with different talents pooling their resources.
One of the most inspirational meetings I attended was lead by a mom who had been crafting for years. She took her talent of sewing and started her own business. She created accessories for Chemotherapy patients including hats, bags, scarves, inspirational pillows and more. The best part was her mission to employ other stay at home moms. She actually had 6 women from our group working for her and making a very decent part-time income.
Her story and her mission where a beacon of hope for many of us, who at the time were looking for ways to have some "me" time and make a little money on the side. I know for a fact that she not only motivated me to start my own home based business but many others as well.
If you are a Mother of a Preschooler(s) please consider attending a local M.O.P.S. Meeting. You can go to their website and find a group in your area. Or, if you are a stay at home mom with a particular talent or resource, please consider contacting them to share these with some Moms who would really appreciate it!
