Working Moms Blog

Hi Workingmom, I had to respond to your post because for so many years I searched for something I could do to work from home to earn extra income for my family. You are so right, almost everything was either a scam or some type of MLM. I read that SAHM/ WAHM’s are the #1 target market for scammers?
I did not want to be the person that imposed some “please host a fun party” on my friends, and after you have exhausted your list of friends (if you still have friends), you are out of luck. It just did not work well for my comfort zone. I tried all sorts of things, never with much luck. My story is a long one, so I won’t go into the details. My point is that what finally worked for me was to start my own business doing what I was good at. Please do yourself a favor though, starting a business can be an investment, and you have to know what you really want to do. You have to start by sitting quiet and getting to your heart. What would you do for free? Once you can pinpoint that, start educating yourself. I would highly recommend reading “No More Mondays” by Dan Miller. Then read everything you can get your hands on that will make you an expert on whatever it is your decide to do. Don’t have time to read? Then get audio books, podcasts, online classes and you will be amazed how that will change how you look at things. Now is the time to educate yourself in areas of your interest. Save your money so you can afford the expenses involved in starting your business, don’t borrow money to do this, that defeats the purpose. But you do have to be realistic and know that you most likely will have expenses you have to build into your plan. All of us are gifted in some area, don’t get discouraged and write a check to some scam, you deserve better than that. We moms have to develop a support system and put the bad guys out of business and help discover how to legitimately solve the puzzle of working at home. I hope your search brings you the answers you need. Have a wonderful day.

That is not true that 100% are scams. I work in online marketing and one to one marketing, which neither are scams. I think if you are looking to join an online business make sure you do your research. I personally did research for a week before I started mine. I was very nervous because you hear so many negative things about work at home scams, but I am very happy that I did not listen and I jumped in. I had an attorney who showed me the business and I was still skeptical. So at the end of the day, do not listen to what other people say who do not know what it is you are looking at. Follow your own dreams and do your research. You are more than welcome to check out my site if you would like so you can see what I do is legit.

Also I just launched a group for supplemental income on yahoo if you are interested :
