A legitimate online business is the dream of all WAHMs. The problem is, we don’t know what is a good way to work online and what isn’t, and even if we did, we don’t know how to get started. If we did, we’d be doing it – wouldn’t we?

So, what things are possible online? What can we, as not really very technical people (sorry if you are, but I am addressing the majority here!) do online to earn money? Here are 5 ideas: Read More→

Working From Home – Netmums

By Sarah · Comments Comments Off

I have been reading some posts on the Netmums forum and so many mothers want to work from home.  There are real ways of doing this – without having to farm your children out (if that is how you feel about childcare!!).  You could try affiliate marketing, or selling on ebay (you can do this without actually having to hold stock and sort out postage and packaging etc).  You can also try your hand at writing for pay.  I do these things…..

I've been really busy….

By Sarah · Comments (2)

Hello.

I’m sorry for the break in posts, I have been really busy (and away for the weekend) and so I just didn’t get time!  So, I’m back :)

I have been working on the affiliate marketing course that I am writing for you.  I am trying to make sure that I get the content absolutely right in terms of being for total beginners, without being patronising!  You’d be surprised at how hard that can be sometimes :)   Anyway, it is on it’s way, I’m hard at work and I will be posting at my usual rate from now on.

love

Hello

I did something quite unusual for me – I vented my spleen – IN WRITING!  It isn’t remotely unusual for me to vent my spleen, but I don’t normally get EzineArticles to publish it!

I seem to have caused a bit of a stir.  Have a read (it’s only short) and come back and tell me what you think.   http://bit.ly/ChildrenInDanger

OAMC – Save a Fortune!

By Sarah · Comments (2)

OK, so I immediately go off track!  Having said earlier today that I am focussing more closely on making money online, I am about to write about something completely different.

I have had to live on a very tight budget at times and I found that there are very few ways in which to tighten one’s belt when you start looking at it.  Yes, you can turn off lights and yes, you can wash at a cooler temperature.  You can also turn your heating down by one degree – all are useful, money saving tips, but actually, they don’t seem to make much difference to the cash in your pocket on a daily basis.  When I needed to spend less, I needed to spend less NOW!

I worked out that by far my biggest bill in a week was food.  Part of the reason for this is that at the end of a tough day, when there isn’t much in the house, the idea of going out in the rain for groceries to then stand and turn them into a meal didn’t appeal much, so we had a take away.  This way of life can run into £££ or $$$ very quickly indeed, even if you are only doing it once a week. 

So, I could make sure that the freezer was stocked with reasonably “instant” meals – like pizza, but this weighed heavily on my mind as I want my family eating nutritious stuff.  Then I found the Frugal Mom and her OAMC (once a month cooking) and I started to save a fortune!  The idea behind OAMC is that if you spend a whole day cooking, once a month, you can fill your freezer with gorgeous, nutritious meals that you can feed your family, without hassle.  When you get down to it, the day you spend cooking is quite fun, if you either farm out your children or get them in on the act, depending upon their ages.  Stick your favourite music on and chop, peel and boogie your way through the day!

The real beauty of OAMC for me though, is that I have a menu planned for a whole month and I don’t have to think about it every night!  That, in itself, is a real bonus…

Internet Marketing for Mummies

By Sarah · Comments (5)

Ok – I am having a change of direction, in response to lots of requests.

I keep being asked about what I do for a living and how others can do it too.  So, from here on it, I am going to talk to you far more about earning a living online.  My new stragegy (along with the hand holding course I am in the process of writing) will be called Internet Marketing For Mummies (not Dummies – because we’re not!!)

In addition to a change in focus of what I write about (of course I’ll always ramble on about other stuff too – I’m a chatterbox – but the general focus is going to change)  there will be new ads that appear on my page, for inexpensive products to get you started.  These products are ones that have been recommended by my own mentors (my list of mentors is growing – there are some fantastic people out there) and are very good indeed.

So, first things first:  do you want to stay home, make money and raise your own kids?  If so, bookmark this page and we’ll stay in touch.

At the very end of last year, I talked about running a course on affiliate marketing.  It never happened, because my life took over briefly.

Well, I’m talking about it again now!  What I have in mind is a course which runs for about 6 weeks, and consists of a weekly webinar, where I can demonstrate to you, step by step, how to choose a product, set up an affiliate site and then drive traffic to it.  This will be suitable for TOTAL beginners, as well as those with a little more of a clue and will be designed to help you to start to make money online.  The webinars, plus other resources and information would be available to you 24/7 via a members area, especially for those who are on the course.

What do you think?  Is this something that would interest you?  Leave me a comment to let me know….

Writing for Profit

By Sarah · Comments (2)

Hello.  I recently decided to do some writing for profit, so that I could report back to you on how I found the various aspects of it.  So, I enrolled at Elance as a service provider (for free) and I bid on some jobs.  I bid on 5 jobs and I got 2 of them.  One was writing a blog for a travel niche blog (vacation rentals – holiday homes for those of us in the UK) and the other was writing 20 articles on a provided list of child related subjects.  I was comfortable with both topics, and familiar enough with them to write a good proposal and have them accepted.  In  my proposal, I simply stated who I am, gave links to my blog and to my EzineArticle expert author page and quoted a price.  I will be paid $10 for each 500 words I write.  I am half way through the blogging experience and have nearly finished the articles.  I have done it all in my “spare” time (not my usual working hours) and it has fitted in really easily.

It isn’t impossible to make money online and writing is a great way to start.  Swapping your time for money is easily achievable.

Could I ask for your help please?

By Sarah · Comments Comments Off

Hello again.

I wonder if I could ask for your help? I would like to ask you to complete a short survey for me. It has just 9 questions and it will help me to help you. I find it hard sometimes to know what you want to know and this way, I can ask you.  The survey concerns working from home (of course) and is designed to help me see if an exclusive private membership club would be the right way for us to go.

Click here to take survey

My thoughts on this are that if we had a members area, you would be able to ask me questions directly, without worrying that you are bothering me and I would be able to respond in a way which means you can all see the questions and answers.   Also, I would have a place to put free instant access to all my reports and resources that you currently have to pay for separately.  The idea is that we can communicate throught this membership site.

Anyway, I’d love it if you would fill in the survey for me: Click here to take survey

Speak soon

Working from home is a dream for many, but the reality for many too.  There are so many of us who simply don’t know how to work from home, or perhaps more relevantly, how to work from home successfully.  I think that maybe I can help…

As you may be aware, I am a life coach.  That doesn’t mean much to most people, so let me explain what I do and how I can help you.  The objective of my work is to take you from where you are now, to where you want to be, in the shortest possible time.  So, if what you want is to work from home but you simply don’t know what to do, then I can help you decide what to do, help you start to do it and then, most importantly, help you to make sure that you actually achieve success at it – which is the bit where most fail.  If you are already working from home, but you are not achieving the success that you want, I can help you to find out how to change that and help you to develop the business you really want to.

I usually charge £100 per session for my coaching and a session lasts for an hour.  My Valentine’s Day offer to my readers is that I have 10 x 1 hour sessions available in February for £50 ($79) per session as a special thank you for your support.  You can use this hour for whatever you want to, if you prefer to be led by me, that’s fine too.  If you would like to book a slot, give me your information here:

I usually conduct my coaching via Skype, so get yourself a Skype account if you don’t have one (www.skype.com) you need to get one.

I can only offer this to 10 of you as I simply don’t have the spare capacity for any more. The 10 successful applicants will also get a free copy of my report “How toWork From Home” and other bonus items too!  As a special thank you for showing an interest, everyone who sends me their details will get a fantastic FREE report written by the wonderful Nicole Dean.

So – what are you waiting for? ;)
