How Stay At Home Moms And Dads Can Generate A Second Income
By Lynn VanDyke, Sat Dec 10th
Copyright 2005 strength-training-woman.com "I believe wholeheartedly in the importance of being a Mom whochooses not to work outside the home in order to be availablefor my children. However, I also have experienced the effects ofa single income and it's not pleasant," explains one stay athome mom. Stay at home parents are finding it increasinglydifficult to support their family on a single income. Theiralternatives are not appealing either. They could return to workfull time, they could pursue a part time job or they could lookinto a work from home opportunity. In most cases these optionswill help financially, but they will take away from the one veryimportant value for stay at home moms and dads- being anintegral part of their child's early years. Returning to a full time career demands more than 40-50 hours aweek. It creates the demand for a babysitter, it creates morestress for the parent returning to the work force and it createsa sense of failure for both parents. When a family has decidedto take one adult and make him/her the full time parent, anyresignation of that situation results in a feeling ofincompleteness and failure.
Taking a part time job presents many of the same issues as afull time job. Often the stay at home parent has errands to do,loads of laundry to wash, meals to cook, and sports games toattend. A part time employer usually needs their employee to beflexible and available throughout the week. This is just notpossible for the typical stay at home mom and dad. Part timework often leaves the parent feeling dull. Who wants to filepapers for their local dentist or stuff envelopes with insuranceplan papers? The last option stay at home moms and dads have is the abilityto work from home. Typically these jobs revolve around some sortof MLM, or multi-level marketing. Stay at home parents oftenfind themselves choosing between selling the latest makeupproduct or herbal weight loss supplement. Neither brings joy andneither brings much money.

Pick a few things that you know and love. It could beorchids, fire trucks, fitness, or libraries. Whatever it is thatyou love and know something about will qualify. Let's take as our example. I love fitness. I create awebsite all about fitness. I write about working out, how toeat, how to see results without using steroids, etc. I make allof my web pages visitor friendly. I talk to my visitor in anormal conversational tone. There is no greasy sales pitch- justgreat content that answers my visitors question or solves hisproblem. After all, that is why my visitor came to my site. Toget information! Step 2- Traffic I now have a website all about fitness. It provides excellentinformation that my visitors will love. Search engines will loveit too and here's why. Have you ever done a search for somethingon Google or Yahoo and the only results were spam? They werejust websites designed to sell you something? Of course youhave. We all have. Search engines are constantly looking for websites that providereal information. That is what makes their customers (you!)happy. If the search engines can find a great online businesslike yours, they will rank it well within their search results.They will want to because it makes them look good. Step 3- Pre-Sell When you create your online business, you will create contentthat is easy to read and answers your visitor's question. Yourvisitor will now view you as an expert in your field. She willbuild trust and confidence in you because you are not trying tosell her a product. You are giving her what she wants-information and answers to her problem. Step 4- Monetize Believe it or not, this is the easy part. Building friendlycontent rich pages is the hard part. By now you have 10, 20, ormaybe 100 pages all about your passion. You are ranking well atthe search engines because you answer the question or solve theproblem of your visitor. You have built trust and loyalty withyour customers. The next step happens naturally. When you create a new productor service, you already have a base of raving fans to market to.These raving fans already know you and already trust you. Ifyour new product or service speaks to them or helps them theywill buy from you. Why wouldn't they? They already trust you.That is the key ingredient. Work at home moms and dads have a hard time generating a secondincome while maintaining their core values and beliefs. Oftentimes they drop tons of cash and waste loads of time on dead endwork at home options. Doing research is the first step. Learningabout business and online businesses is the second step.
