Work At Home Moms or WAHM

There are a lot of people surfing the internet for a home based business opportunity and each person has their own individual reason. You may have lost your job, you may hate your job, you may want more money or you may want to better yourself. The type of person I would like to target is the work at home Moms or as I discovered today the WAHM (internet jargon).

Work at home moms look for home based roles and opportunities that let them stay at home to work and look after their children. It's a sensible move but it does make them very venerable to scams and cons. A lot of Moms are looking for jobs that also do not include phone jobs, they have young babies, they don't think its right for them and maybe don't have experience in the hard sales telephone role.

Are there many options?

Yes, there are lots, even if you don't have experience. You can start to take online courses now, gain new experience, and borrow books, DVD's or CD's from the library to help you learn. I looked into other homes based jobs for work at home moms and here are a few to get you started:

1. Writing - Most people can write and compile a sentence. You don't have to have a degree in journalism; you just have to have to Basic English skills! For example you must write with proper grammar and spelling. You will normally be given subjects to write about and it could be in the form of articles or press releases to be posted online. A good home business but not great money and very competitive.

2. Blogging - It's hard to get paid for blogging; you normally have to get a company who wants bloggers to write about their services or products. Again good if you can get it but not great money, will vary from company to company.

3. Texting - Touchy subject and maybe not for everyone. The text is done via your computer in the form of chat, normally with the opposite sex and is of an adult nature. I did say, not for everyone. I can't even advise on the pay!

4. Virtual Assistant - Market yourself out as a Virtual Assistant. People and companies look to outsource easy admin tasks such as proof reading, classified ads, article and press release submitting, partial maintenance of their websites like link checking. Never going to make you a huge amount of money and there will be a lot of deadlines involved.

5. Online Marketing - There are lots of companies on the net that claim that you will make money online, 97% of those will fail you or be a con/scam. You need to look for a business that already has a success story, one that has a proven business model, one that offers training and support and the option to speak to a real person. If the offer a mentor or business coach this is a great idea too. If you are not a marketing genius, look at the training they offer. Normally all you have to do is follow clear instructions. Also make sure you get a business that helps or does the selling for you, the last thing you want is to be on the phone all day and night! Good pay once the business is set up!

So Work at Home Moms, keep that title, look into these options and then put it into action!
