TAKE A QUIZ - scroll down to Step 1the short quiz and see if you are ready to be a Work at Home Mom!

As you begin this journey of starting a business online, let me give you some tips for moms that will help you avoid getting distracted or caught up in internet scams along the way…

√ There is A LOT of rubbish out there to wade through!

√ I was going to need a website in order to have the best opportunities

√ It was not going to happen quickly (my journey has taken me 5 months so far and I know I've still got a long way to go)

√ If you're serious you will have to spend some money setting up a decent business but it will be a heck of a lot cheaper than starting a business offline

√ Don't copy something someone else is doing that thousands of people sign up to do because it's a waste of time

√ Just because you have a website doesn't mean people are going to come and look at it. The majority of websites just collect internet dust.

√ Getting a list of customers is important and I need some way to collect a database of names to email out regular offers to. These people become your regular customers and you are allowed to email them because they have asked for your information.

√ I need a system called an autoresponder to automatically send out a series of emails to all my customers

√ I need a system that tracks the visitors to my site and helps me anylise what happens on my website.

√ Having multiple sources of income on my website was going to be the best way to go because it increases my options at making an income

√ The best sources of income for a website are promoting other people's products and that is called an affiliate, letting google advertise on your site and earning money when people click on the ads and finally selling a product/s you may have written or made.

That is some of what I have learn't in a nut shell.

A lot of this was out of my experience so I've needed quite a bit of help along the way. If some of the above areas intimidate you too, then you are welcome to use the tools and ideas I have here to help you get on your way too.

Step 2: Get some FREE training from other Work at Home Moms!

I have learnt so much from this course and it is the first REAL help that I have found without feeling like I’m being ripped off in the process! It gave me an understanding of how the internet really works and why so many other people fail at the opportunities out there.

The WAHM-it! Course has given me the confidence to take steps forward in my business and I know what steps to take too! For awhile there I was trying so many different things because I wasn’t quite sure what was going to work. It’s so good to finally have clear direction and a conviction that what I’m doing is going to be successful!

I also loved the fact that it was put together by other Work at Home Moms that have already been successful. They have proved that the information works and they are living what I am slowly seeing coming to pass myself!

The WAHM-it! Masters course will teach you:

- how to create a website that is full of interesting and useful information that will actually attract FREE visitors to your site.

- The course will also teach you the right processes you need to follow in order to build a genuine online business.

Step 3: Set up a work space.

Here are some of the things I take into account when setting up an effective workspace:

- out of reach of curious fingers

- good position to watch the kids play. (We have open plan living and my desk is near a window so I can keep an eye on inside and outside play)

- Making sure I have all the supplies I need on hand

- Good storage set up so it doesn’t make the rest of the house / room look too cluttered

For ages I just had my laptop and laptop bag. I’d sit on the couch to do all my work, it was easy to jump up to attend to the kids and when I had to leave for a bit I’d slide all my work into the laptop bag and zip it up so it wasn’t fiddled with. So don’t feel like you have to get too elaborate.
