OK, here are my first two videos EVER!  I know I need to work on my lighting and volume, but it’s a  miracle I even did them.  Remember, this was on my New Year’s Resolution so I can cross another one off the list!

Let me know what you think of the videos!

I hope everyone in the US is enjoying this holiday weekend! So sorry I am posting on a holiday weekend, but this offer is time sensitive and I wanted to share.

P.S.  If you have visited my blog before, you know that I do not believe in any “get rich quick schemes” and would never promote that.  This is a business opportunity and you will have to work and grow your business.  The main difference with this offer is that you get a fully integrated online business to help you get leads.  You’ll still have to follow up with the leads to earn money.  I just wanted to make this clarification to ensure you understand that this in no way implies immediate success – it just gives you a head start!  You will still need to grow your business.

Now that the holidays are just around the corner, you might be thinking about earning some extra money.   Here is Part 2 of “Do Work at Home Moms Really Exist?  Yes, it can be a reality!”

This  WAH opportunity is relatively new to me, but one that I have found success with in a short amount of time.   I have found many legitimate work at home opportunities on the website HireMyMom.com.  When you become a member of this website, you will have access to many WAH job opportunities that are not published on other job posting websites.  Typically, other WAHM post job opportunities available because they want to hire someone just like them!  I have been hired for temporary jobs and permanent jobs through this site.  The team at HireMyMom.com does a great job of marketing quality applicants and potential employers.

While there is a fee for the website, I have found that it is quite reasonable compared to other WAH websites.  First of all, there is a lot of quality postings with a wide range of job descriptions.  I’ve seen everything from WAH telemarketers to magazine editors.  Most recently, there are weekly postings for people with experience in internet marketing, social media networking and marketing, and article writing.

If you are not sure about starting a home-based career,  there are a lot of FREE resources out there to help you get started:

• Home Based Working Moms, http://www.hbwm.com , is part of HBWM.com, Inc. Network and was started by Lesley Pyle.  Her network of helping people run a successful home-based business includes several other websites that offer free tips  and business opportunities to get started.

• The National Association of Home- Based  Business Moms, http://www.nahbm.com, is a great resource to find help on getting a home-based business started, as well as seminars, newsletters and blogs from experts who have built their business from the ground up.

I would love to hear about any other WAHM social networks you know about.  I am always looking to join new forums to get ideas and make new friends.  One thing about working at home is that it can get lonely.  Sometimes, I miss the day-to-day interaction with adults.  But then, one of my girls gives me a beautiful smile or a kiss, and I know this is right where I am supposed to be.

Note:  Article originally written by me and appeared on http://www.busy-mommy.com.  Minor changes have been made to include updated information and links.

I received the book, “So You Want to be a Work at Home Mom: A Christian’s Guide to Starting a Home-Based Business” by Jill Hart and Diana Ennen , as a gift from Diana.  I met her on Twitter and was bummed I didn’t win a contest giveaway where this book was a prize.  She VERY graciously offered to send me a copy to review for my website!

First off, I got this book in the mail on Friday, 10/2/09 and I finished reading it by Sunday, 10/4/09.  No small task with two baby girls under the age of 2.  However, I honestly found the book very easy to read, and filled with great resources and advice for anyone who is thinking of starting a home-based business.  I just wish I read this book 18 months ago when I started my new career! (The book just came out this year, so that wouldn’t have been possible.)

Anyway, I digress…

One of the the things that I really liked and appreciated about this book is how clear it is about setting realistic expectations.  That is one of the things I continue to struggle with as a Work at Home Mom (WAHM).  I have spent countless hours on the internet doing research about working from home, and I never really found a website, blog, person, etc. that gave a good description of what it’s like to work from home.  Truth be told, it’s one of the reasons I wanted to start this blog so that I share my experiences with others in hope that it would help someone, anyone, make the transition easier.

Being a WAHM is the most difficult, yet rewarding thing I have ever done.  And, the most important “job” I’ll ever have is raising my girls.  But its a lot of hard work, late nights and constant balancing act between work and home.

This book, “So You Want to be a Work at Home Mom” explains some real life scenarios of working at home with your kids.  The distractions, the benefits of flexibility, and the pitfalls of poor time management. They even included a sample daily, weekly and monthly to-do list to help readers stay on track!

Just as important though, is a list of home-based business opportunities  that you can research to see what’s right for you.  There is no one size fits all when it comes to a home-based business.  With the internet, you can find a job doing just about anything – you just need to identify what you love to do.

The book is also chock full of real business resources such as marketing and public relations advice, a list of websites to help with your marketing endeavors, and tips to help you get started on the right path.  It’s so much easier to start a business on the right foot, with the right tools and systems, rather than trying to go back and change things later.  This is critical when it comes to bookkeeping!

All in all, I think this is a must read book for anyone who is considering starting a home-based business.  It will give you real world examples of being a WAHM.

If you would like to get your copy of “So You Want to be a Work at Home Mom, you can purchase it at Amazon.com.
