Work at Home Mom Ideas

Anyone that’s been around for over five years or so has probably learned there’s always someone there to take from you. Whether it’s your money, property or worse. Unfortunately, the Internet has made it much easier for the thieves to find easy targets. The obvious advice is to check into any program, course, membership site, software, anything that you intend to exchange your credit card information for.

What triggered this post idea was this – I’ve been involved with affiliate marketing for a little over a year now, and I’m now making a little money now. I’ve probably ran across more than my share of products and services that had me running in the opposite direction very quickly. I’ve paid for some items that I have been extremely impressed with. I’ve also paid for a few that were so-so. There have also been a couple that I’ve gotten my money back on (always make sure there is a money back guarantee).

Anyway, I’m a free ember at the Warrior Forum, which I highly recommend. It’s a great place full of a lot of valuable, mostly free information. They also have some paid options if you feel the need.  So, one feature of the Warrior Forum is the WSOs (Warrior Special Offers). I’m not knocking the WSOs in general, but be warned! I recently paid a guy $17 for something that I have to classify as a total ripoff. I won’t say that I didn’t get anything for my money or that the information wasn’t accurate, but for what I received, that was in the form of a ‘report’ of close to fifteen pages if I remember correctly, was trash.

What this guy was selling was something that I had heard soon after coming online in 1989, when I had first thought of putting up my own website. This guy had managed to make what was something that could (should) have been a single sentence idea that you might hear in passing somewhere, into something that he could actually charge people for – sad. It was nothing that anyone should have ever even considered taking money from someone else for. A total ripoff.

I didn’t ask for my money back though. Mainly because the guy had a lot of posts, compared to my relatively few, and quite frankly it wasn’t worth causing a bunch of friction over.

So, if you’re wanting some Work at Home Mom Ideas, by all means have a look at the Warrior Forum. There’s thousands, even thens of thousands of sites out there specifically for work at home moms (WAHMs). Just make sure you know whom you are sending your money to – and for what.

If you don’t have money to invest, look into starting out writing articles. You can either write for other people or even promote your own free sites, maybe Squidoo Lenses, that you can monetize. You can also register.99 .info (for now) domains at GoDaddy, and use the links in articles submitted to EzineArticles. You can then redirect your .info domain to an affiliate site.

If you do have money to invest, I still say SiteSell! has to be the hands-down best way to get started. That’s if you’re wanting to set up your own website. It’s easy enough for a complete beginner, but you can take it to wherever you need to. The forum is one of the best, most supportative on the Internet, and they even offer paid options for just getting help getting started, up to and including actually having someone to do your site for you!

If you have a hobby or something that you’re passionate about – there’s almost certaily a method to monetize it. When you can start start getting your site found in the search engines by people looking for just what you have, the traffic (and potential customers) will be there.

Also, the free videos at the top of this page are about SiteSell!. They’re worth viewing.

Squidoo is an Awesome FREE Tool for Generating Traffic and Sales

In continuing along the same idea of my previous post (makebanner03 money online while spending very little), if you haven’t started using Squidoo yet, you need to….now. I can’t stress it enough, Squidoo is a fantastic, totally FREE method of generating traffic, and subsequently sales.

I really didn’t give Squidoo the respect it deserved when I first heard about it. I went to the site, figured out how to creat a lens (just start one, not actually complete it) and then gave up on it. I have no doubt that if I had stuck with it from day one, I’d probably have many, many more affiliate sales to my credit. I lost about eight months or so because I thought it was just another flaky site that wouldn’t amount to much. Was I ever wrong.

There’s actually people earning more, much more on Squidoo alone, than I make working my full-time ‘real’ job. That’s pretty impressive.

One thing that you’re see very often is that many (most ?) people recommend using Squidoo in combination with another site that has a sales page or other products that will generate the sales (or at presales). The fact is, Squidoo alone is enough to rank high (very high) in the search engines, and doesn’t require other sites to support it.

Of course if you write articles and link to your lenses, or link from a blog or other sites, it will help tremendously in generating traffic to your lens.

If you don’t want to start from scratch, there is a great product that will help you tremendously in all aspects of Squidoo. It’s Secret Squidoo Cash Machine. It has a money back guarantee, so if you try it and it doesn’t satisfy your expectations, just return it for a refund of you money.

Don’t overlook Squidoo!!

Buying All the Get Rich Quick Products

This is very similar to my previous post, but after seeing what 2 individuals have been through, I thought I’d post on it again. I hate to see people throw money away. Especially when they believe they’re going to make a lot of money from it. So, STOP, DON’T DO IT!

I just signed up at Wealthy Affiliate a few weeks ago, and it’s a very good forum. I’ve got a lot of good ideas and information there. This isn’t about WA specifically though.

It’s about buying, or actually not buying every new get-rich-quick product that is released.

There were 2 different individuals on WA in the last few days that posted about how they had made no money online. Actually one guy had made a couple thousand dollars, but he had spent over $11,000 doing it!!

The other guy had made nothing, he said.

The problem is, both had followed the same problematic method…buy every get-rich-quick product that comes out, or at least many of them.

You have to remember, IF IT SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, IT IS!! It’s not, it ‘probably is’…IT IS.

There’s tons of information out there to get started with. Don’t try PPC advertising right away. It takes some experience (and money) to start making money using PPC.

I recommended Pot Pie Girl’s ebook (course) here before, and although there’s not any get-rich-quick scheme included, since they don’t exist, it’s common sense information to lay the foundation to start generating some traffic and making some money.owmplanbox1

It’s basically using article marketing to generate traffic to your money site(s). Pretty much ‘Bum Marketing.’ That term is from Travis Sago’s excellent ‘Bum Marketing Method.’ Head over to Bum Marketing Method to check it out.

Jennifer’s course does go into it more specifically, as far as the sites (Squidoo, EzineArticles, etc.) to use, and an actual step-by-step instructional process to follow day-by-day. It guides you through setting up a campaign in one week. Hence the name, One Week Marketing Plan.

So, if you’re going to spend any money, buy something that won’t promise to make you a fortune overnight. Buy something that provides good, solid, very workable, traffic, and eventually money producing information.

Stay away from anything that promises to make you a lot of money in a very short time. Those guys are just taking advantage of everyone’s fantasy of getting a lot of money quickly, and with almost no work.

Think lottery…now look at the odds.
