When I first considered the idea to work online from home, I found myself getting caught up in all the hype way too many times. Even though I thought I was being careful I still fell for too many get rich quick plans. Now, over ten years later, I learned that the hype I got caught in were typical beginner mistakes. So if you are thinking about taking the plunge and trying to work online from home let me share with you a few tips that I wish I would have known ahead of time.
1. Avoid flooding your inbox with all the "6 figure income" promises, special offers and freebies. They will distract you, confuse you, sap a lot of valuable energy, and take you away from the steps you should be focusing on to build your business.
And many of these "easy" blueprints don't work unless you have major money to invest up front, or are already a brilliant entrepreneur capable of making a high-flying living without the net. In which case, you probably wouldn't be a work at home mom " you would be an executive with a nanny!
2. Watch what you spend on "small" offers. These small amounts can start to add up quickly, and most of the time you are hyped up to buy because some copywriter has been paid good money to to write an awesome sales letter that makes it really hard to resist.
Here is something that you should be aware of: That inexpensive report you just paid for will probably only give you a small piece of the puzzle. You may need to subscribe to some monthly membership and purchase more products, to get all the information you need and then there will be another level you need and another level (Its called a "marketing funnel." If youre not yet familiar with the term look it up on any search engine.)
3. If you really want to work online from home you shouldn't just limit yourself to WAHM message boards and avoid stepping out of your comfort zone. Step outside of your comfort zone as often as you can handle it. Don't get me wrong, message boards geared toward work at home moms can be a great source of information and support. However, many women who wish to work online from home find themselves spending so much time on the forums that they don't take the steps needed to get their business off the ground.
Tip: Go to a search engine and type in "direct response marketing". You will get a much more objective view of the many internet marketing strategies and terms.
These are just three tips to help you get started in your venture to work online from home. Of course there is much more to it than this but these tips should help you get started. The most successful women who work online from home and promote themselves as successful WAHMs do earn a competitive living (sometimes even a 6-figure one) " but its not from labeling and limiting themselves. They are businesswomen first.
