There’s been a lot of changes happening in the last 4 months.  Business Moms Kiosk is in the process of a complete overhaul, from facelift to new content, look for some exciting changes.

One of my biggest announcements is the start of a new project which will focus on WAHM’s (Work at Home Moms) and feature some great new videos.

I am lucky to be part of a new WAHM group.  We are busy scheming and planning, but soon will have a fun, new resource which will get all your questions answered about how you can get your business started online.

Look for more information really soon.

Envelope stuffing, daycare, making candles…  What is the best home business for Mom?

The best home business for mom is an internet business.  With the internet, you can reach people world wide who want exactly what you have to offer.

Are you selling all natural make-up?  Use the internet to find the women who want just that.

Do you know the best way to arrange flowers for wedding centerpieces?  Use the internet to teach what you know and sell supplies to brides.

Gone are the days psyching yourself up to face rejection about the products you know are good.

While there are many businesses for a work at home mom, all of them could benefit from an internet presence.  By using the internet either as your sole marketing tool, or as an addition to what you already have, the best home businesses use the internet.

What if I have an MLM?

Many wahm moms already have a network marketing or multi-level marketing business.  Some of these companies have a marketing plan built into their structure–a party plan, or training in using the “3 foot rule”, expos or cold calling.

For some, this marketing really works.  I have met women who build a thriving MLM using these techniques.

But for many moms, this type of marketing fails.  The party plan means that Mom must be out of the house and away from her family during the nights and weekends.  The 3 foot rule means that Mom must be comfortable pushing her products on anyone near her.  Expos are exhausting and expensive.  Cold calling is relentless.

The beauty of an internet home business for Mom is that Mom can attract the customers who want her.  When you build a well-constructed website, full of good, valuable information, the women wanting the information will be attracted to your site.  Most of your work is already done.  And you do the site building when you want to–you can be home kissing you kids good night.

So even if you business is already thriving, an internet business is an excellent addition to your marketing plan.  Build a blog or website showcasing your niche, and you will have even more customers coming to you.  Use online social networks to compliment your offline networks.  Use the power of the internet to build your lead list.

I have done many home businesses and know the pros and cons of all of them.  By far, the best home business for mom, the most flexible and substantial is an internet business.

Ever dreamed of working from home?  Managing your own schedule and having the flexibility to care for the kids while still earning money?

Starting an internet business can seem daunting.

Besides the mysterious techie stuff, how do you know what to do?  What are the options?

The best way to start a profitable internet business is with a good guide.

I have just completed a Squidoo lens (a type of article) which gives a broad overview of the process of building an internet business.   This would be a great place to start your investigation of the possibilities.

If you want more information, there are many sources I can recommend.  But it is always easiest to give a recommendation, if I know specifically your needs and goals.  Contact me through the comment form, and we can schedule a free 30 minute consultation about what your business goals are, and how best to go about meeting them.

In our consultation, we will discuss:

• What your income goals are
• How much time you have available for your business
• What your interests are
• What your skill level is
• What parts of internet business would you enjoy the most

By the end of the call, I will help you formulate a plan to begin your internet business–a plan that is tailored to you.  If you love writing, maybe you need to blog.  If you love chatting on the phone, maybe your business model will involve a lot of customer consultations.  Do you spend a lot of time online clicking around?  Maybe you’re good for social media.  Got money but no time?  Try PPC.

There are many,  many business models online and they are not one size fits all.  But when you begin, you don’t know where to start.

In my free 30 minute consultation, I will help you make a plan which points you in the direction that fits you best.

The best way to start a profitable internet business is to not do it alone.
