Would you like to be a money making Mommy? There is nothing quite so fulfilling as motherhood, but it is also tiring and relentless, and it is always a good plan to keep some of your independence aside. You do so much for your family, but you also have to remember to do something for yourself.
It is very satisfying to be both a stay a home Mommy and a money making Mommy. If you can learn to generate your own income while having the freedom to spend more time with your family, you will feel so fulfilled.
Does this sound familiar? It’s great to be a mother, but sometimes we tend to lose a bit of our self-esteem and identity. We sometimes watch our spouses go off to work in the mornings and wish that it was us instead. We enjoy motherhood but wish that we had something extra just for ourselves.
We loved our careers, but we want to stay at home with our children more. Wouldn’t it be great to have the best of both worlds?
How To Become A Money Making Mommy
Today there are thousands of people and Mom’s who profit online from home. And don’t worry you don’t have to sell beauty products and vitamins if that is not for you. There is a whole new world of careers out there on the internet; it’s just a matter of finding the one that suits your personality best. No longer do you have to market to your friends and family when you have global access on your computer.
As I mentioned above, it is very rewarding to generate your own income. You will find that this type of job is far more rewarding than working for a boss. You will find that you actually enjoy working and are excited to have something to get up in the mornings for besides demanding children (much as you love them).
You can also keep up with the market place and learn new things every day. This is the only way that you are going to stay stimulated in your personal and professional life. Educating yourself on a daily basis is the key to making a success of your life and of your own business.
If you are a Mom and would love to be at home with your little ones and watch them grow, but still need to work, then here are some tips for finding work to do at home for Moms.
The best way nowadays to be a money making Mommy is to do it online.
What About Network Marketing?
There are countless Network Marketing Opportunities and MLM’s on the net and they will either have you excited and motivated or unbelieving and disillusioned.
Be careful and do your homework properly before deciding on the company that you would like to join. Also, it is better to join one option and work it well, than jump into a hundred different things at once, and believe me once you start with the internet, you will be bombarded with offers. The main thing is deciding what to do and what method is best for you.
I have tried loads of different network marketing companies in the past, selling beauty products, vitamins and even household cleaners. Yes, the companies that I tried to do this with are still around and doing well, the problem is that the majority of their distributors are just left along the wayside and very few actually end up making any real money for themselves.
You really have to be super motivated and work super hard to make anywhere near the type of profits that are outlined to you before you sign on with them.
The worst part is you find your family and friends suddenly start avoiding you because you are so desperate to make a sale that all that comes out of your mouth when you see them is business, business, business. Then just as you think you have it made with a promising distributor on board underneath you, he then decides to take on a better opportunity and takes his down line with him.
The problem with Network and MLM companies is not them in themselves, just the type of people that they attract. There are loads of promises to make a quick buck, but never a mention of the amount of work and dedication it will take to get results.
Most people just don’t have the mindset and the drive for this type of work. A lot of the people that sign into these businesses have no previous sales experience, little or no experience with owning or running a business, have very few investments, and also have unrealistic expectations of the amount of work involved to get the revenue talked about in the sales pitch.
If you want to go the network marketing route, then the best thing to do before you start is research the companies that you are interested in. Ask yourself the following questions:
- Are their products unique?
- Do the products do what they claim to and are they worth the price you will be selling them for?
- Is there a need for that product or service?
- Does the product have good long term appeal, so that you can build yourself a long term residual for retirement and for your children in the future?
- How long has the company been around and do they have a good cash flow.
- Does the company take full advantage of technology, as not everyone can sell, but everybody can plug into a system and be trained?
- Is your sponsor committed to your success, is he helpful or is he just recruiting you?
Before you invest in a business online (and most legitimate companies will require an investment to get started) do some homework for yourself. Decide how much time you would like to put into your business, and what type of income you would like to generate.
You will have to be strict with yourself about putting the required amount of hours into your business, even if you do it when the children are asleep.
Check on the credentials of the company that interests you and find out if their commission structures are adequate for the amount of work you put in. Anything less than about 40% is a waste of time and effort on your part.
Also, make sure that the company that you join offers comprehensive training on an ongoing basis. There is nothing worse than starting off with a company and getting no help or support from them in regards to training and helping you to get off the ground.
Most of the best legitimate online companies require a monthly fee, which includes your training, and the training of all your recruits, as well as your websites and autoresponders.
You should only have to worry about the marketing of your business.
This Is What I Do
I have a beautiful daughter, and I also own a dance studio. I decided to venture into the world of online marketing so that I could give my daughter the best and work towards a legacy that I could leave to her someday. I also want to generate an income once I retire and this was the best way I could see to work when over the age of 65.
I am thoroughly enjoying my new found second career as a money making mommy, and it also gives me the freedom to keep my old career going, which I don’t want to give up either. I love the challenges of learning new skills every day, and the extra freedom that this sort of work gives you.
As you have probably guessed, I am into building websites and doing affiliate marketing (as you can see on this website). I also have a few other websites that are called niche websites as they are my hobby websites. These are my interests, and I have managed to take my interests and turn them into little businesses, which are growing over time.
You can visit my Cockatiel website here to see an example.
The trick to loving what you do is to choose a topic you are passionate about. Then all you do is aim to help others to solve their problems around that specific topic.
