Posted on 30. Nov, 2008 by Mary Lutz in WAHM Biz Tips

Are you looking for advice on becoming a Work At Home Mom (WAHM) or starting a Work at Home Business? There is a plethora of information on the web for getting started, but how do you know what’s reliable and what’s a scam? The obvious thing to do is some research, which is probably how you got here. And now that you are here I will give you the best resources out there!  How do I know these are the best? Because I’ve already done the research myself and found these to be tried and true WAHM sites.

The first place to go is Mom Masterminds. It is a forum, a learning center and everything you need to start your work at home business. Not only that, there’s tons of support for when you have your WAH business up and running! I joined the very second I was ready to start my WAH business!  There is a 7 day free trial so you can take a look around and see all the great stuff Mom Masterminds has to offer!

If you’re not sure which path to take for your WAH business, why not get some one on one coaching? Kelly McCausey started her WAH business from the ground up, only a few short years ago, and is known throughout the WAH community as the WAHM mastermind. As a matter of fact, Kelly is the mastermind behind Mom Masterminds.  Click here to get your one on one coaching with the woman who knows just about everything there is about starting and running a successful Work at Home Business.

Once you’ve determined what type of business you want to run from home, you will need a website and a blog.  I can help you set up a WordPress site for your WAH business and help get you on your way to blogging. As a matter of fact, I started my own WAH business as a Virtual Assistant. You can check out my VA site here. Right now I’m offering new clients 10% off any of my services now through Dec. 31!

Another site to visit is Show Mom the Money.  Nicole Dean, another WAHM and Internet Marketing Specialist, has tons of advice, links and resources available to help make your business a success.

Do you already have a mom blog, but want to monetize it? Profitable Mommy Bloggers is the place to go for just that! There you will learn great tips from other successful mom bloggers and even learn some what-not-to-do’s. It’s also a great place if you are just starting out on the net. There is an A to Z Guide to the Internet with a glossary of Internet terms you may or may not be familiar with.

Another great resource for learning more about setting up a WordPress blog and reaching and maintaining clients is Blog Evangelists. Here you will learn how to take a WordPress theme and customize it for your business and great advice on reaching out to the local community about the importance of a business blog.

Internet Marketing Sweetie is another WAHM who has built up a very successful Internet Business and has a schlew of tools, resources and information to help you build one too.

I have used almost all of the resources listed above in my WAH business.  I have watched my blog and web site traffic increase by the hundredths over the last 6 months, since starting my business. I encourage you to click on the links above to get your WAH business started today!
