So, You Want To Be A Work From Home Mom?Posted by Nick Niesen on October 28th, 2010 What exactly are the options for a mom to make money at home? Unfortunately, there are scams everywhere ? some you may have heard of sound too good to be true ? and they usually are. Oftentimes, women lose a lot of money before they even find a legitimate opportunity, let alone one that they love. Below, you?ll find a list of popular work from home options. They all have benefits and drawbacks. What may be great for one woman may not even be of interest to another woman. And, of course, research thoroughly before signing any contract. Yes, there are bunches of great, legitimate possibilities out there waiting for you, but you might have to say ?no? to a few first before you find the perfect home business for you. Direct Sales (MLM) Why it might not be for you: If the thought of sales makes you turn green from nausea, you might want to consider other options. Internet Auctions Why it might not be for you: Is your house already too small for you and your family? If you don?t have room to store inventory, then online auctions might not be the business for you. Start a Home Business Why it might not be for you: Starting from scratch can be a lot of work with little pay in the beginning. So, really invest a lot of time and energy into research, if you are considering this option. Internet Marketing: Why it might not be for you: Internet marketing has a learning curve, just like any other type of business. Anyone who?s ever had a website knows that ?if you build it they will come? is not necessarily true. You have to promote, tweak, test, and learn constantly if you want to become a success in Internet Marketing. It is definitely possible and it is a great option, but don?t go into it thinking you don?t need to invest time and money in yourself and in your business. You do. Surveys for Cash Why it might not be for you: If time is short or you need to make a lot of money for your family, then spend your time on something else. Surveys aren?t going to pay your bills. Also, there are some scams that charge you for a list of surveys. Be careful. These are just a few of the many options to make money from home. Follow your heart. Start on the path today to make your dreams come true. Like it? Share it!More by this author |
