Advantages
of Being a Work at Home Mom
1. The obvious
answer is that you can spend more time with your children.
I like being able to pick my children up from school
and being able to be home with them after school.
2. With many
Internet businesses you can work your own hours.
This is great if you have children with lots of different
activities as you can arrange your schedule around dentist
appointments, doctors appointments, soccer games, scout
meetings, play dates, etc.
3. You can't
get downsized if you own the company! Sure, things can
go wrong with Internet businesses - your web sites can lose
their rankings in the search engines, your advertisers can
cancel their accounts, reader lose interest in your content,
etc. But these are all things you can correct. If your Internet
business takes a downturn, you can just start on another
one. But with a regular job if you get laid off, you have
to spend time looking for a new job, and then just wait
until someone hires you. With your own web business you
can always start a new web site at any time, day or night.
4. With an Internet
business, you really can make money while you sleep. Your
web sites are up 24 X 7 making money for you, even when
you are sleeping, at the park or your neighbor's barbecue.
5. You don't
have to worry about missing work if your or your children
are sick.
6. You don't
have to take off work or arrange for child care every school
vacation or holiday.
7. You don't
have to spend any time commuting. If you work in an
urban area and have an hour commute each way, you can save
2 hours a day in commute time. If you were working at a
regular job 5 days a week, 50 weeks a year, that means you
know have an extra 500 hours freed up.
8. You can spend
less money on clothes, lunches and transportation costs.
9. You get
to be the boss and make all of the decisions.
10. There
can be very little startup costs for many Internet businesses.
If you research and write content for a web site and then
make money by putting ads on your site, your start up costs,
except for your time, can truly be close to zero, while
your earnings can be unlimited.
11. If you have
multiple web sites, with each one having multiple sources
of income such as paid directory listings, ads, newsletter
income, etc. your income can be quite diversified
and may be more secure than having a single employer.
12. The earnings
potential is unlimited. There are no salary caps on
your income with having your own Internet business.
13. Besides making
a day to day income, you are developing a business you
can sell. Usually you should be able to get a least
one years income for a money making web site, and maybe
even much more.
14. You can
take vacations when ever you want without having to
ask approval from anyone else or coordinate with fellow
employees.
15. You are
never "on call" unless you want to be.
