Being
a Work at Home Mom - For Fun and Profit
With
the advent of the Internet, the opportunities for
people to work at home have increased dramatically
in recent years. Developing an Internet business
is especially good if you are a "stay at home
mom" who would like to be a "work at home
mom".
For
me starting a family was a huge consideration because
it meant going from a two person, two professional
income household to a one professional income, four
person household. I'd gone to school a long time
and worked my way up the corporate ladder, so taking
time off to have kids for me was a huge decision.
I
knew there was no way I'd be able to keep my job
with the long commute and overtime hours and still
have time for a family, so for me working or raising
my children was an "either or" decision
at first. I chose being home with my children, but
the strain on our finances of me not working was
always tough.
So
eventually, after exploring several new career options
and a few false starts, I ended up making web sites
for a living. It has been great because I can set
my own hours. If
my kids are sick, I don't have to worry about child
care or missing an important meeting or deadline.
Also I only create sites about topics I enjoy researching
and writing about, so for me an Internet business
has been the perfect career choice. This
site is my guide based on my experiences for other
moms who would like have their own Internet business
while working at home. I hope you enjoy it.
