Great article..That is so cool Cheryl!!http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley32.gif

"I recommend people pursue a home-based career by investing in themselves and upgrading their skills through education," says Salomon.
This makes so much sense after working from home, I realized it was ok to feel out the work at home field being an ic, I am glad that I did not jump right into an affiliate type WAHJ.

Excellent article!http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley20.gif

glad you liked it! I hope you were able to get some great info from it!

Very good article.
Interesting.

Great advice too!

I am new here and this article was a great read. Now I feel I know more about what to watch out for and how to check out the companies before I select them in search of a position.http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley20.gif

Great article Cheryl smileys/smiley20.gif
I love this site,so much its addictive lol

Thanks for sharing that article. It's great that we have a site like this to guide us into the right direction http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley20.gif

Great article! Thanks for posting this for all of us to read. http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley32.gif

That’s a good article Cheryl, I’ve just been looking at http://www.WorkAtHomeCareers.com (http://www.workathomecareers.com/) and the “Blog Reviewers Wanted,” $12 per hour straight into your Paypal account for pushing a few buttons could be a nice little earner while you’re getting a Home Business set up, thanks.

Very good article. However, you need to choose a business that suits your personality.

That is great! Good article!

Awesome article, I am passing it to others

Awesome article. Thanks.http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley1.gif

Wonderful Article!http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley32.gifBRAVO!

Wow! Just getting around to reading this. That's great for WAHM.com, great for those of us who hang out around the "water cooler" here, but especially awesome for women (and mensmileys/smiley2.gif) who are just now realizing there are more options than the 9 to 5 grind!

It was unfortunate that the writer of the article is obviously biased in favor of work-at-home J.O.B.s and against home (or anywhere on the planet with a laptop, internet connection and a phone! smileys/smiley32.gif) business opportunities. But perhaps some of the readers of the article will come visit us all here at WAHM.com and see there are many options!

Very cool! Thanks for sharing that, Cheryl! It's amazing how trends have shifted in the last 10 years. We're all in the right place at the right time!

To our continued success!

Stevie Knight

Very cool! Thanks!

This is wonderful. Way to go!! http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley2.gif

I like working at home. But, I also like getting out in the work place.

Because of that I have discovered the Real Estate Profession to be just right for me.

Congratulations Cheryl - do you know if the traffic to the site picked up after the article was published?

Good article Cheryl!



Informative and helpful, A very prosperous and healthy NEW YEAR to you!!

Many Thankshttp://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley27.gif

Hello I am new to the site and I have received similar emails like this one stating to send in the $12.00 via pay pal for the ebook to learn How to do the data entry. I am very skeptical, I wanted to know have you done it since Oct.? If so any success or failure?

Thank you
Spooh573

Wow, I'm not sure how old it is but it is a great article. When will you be back in the news? Any press releases lately?

Firstly, I would like to sayit's my first time here. I read the article and agree that working at home is the way to go. It's not easy, I have to admit. You have to be disciplined and focused, almost like walking a tight rope and having some wobbly moments! As for the data entry, I have yet to find a genuine company. Anyone?

it takes creativity and thinking outside the box to work from home.

Thank you for sharing this info.http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley4.gif

Thank you for sharing this info.http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley4.gif

Great article. Thanks for sharing.

I still learn something new everyday, this was a great article thanks.http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley20.gif

This was a wonderful article, thanks Cheryl

I know this article was posted awhile ago, but it's still a good topic to read about. It's amazing how much information you can stumble upon when you first start looking to work at home online - I found I got bombarded with information!

Thank you so much for sharing that!

I guess I never realized how many people actually work from home. It is getting to be very common it seems which is great for all of us who are doing it.

I will be using this article for future reference~thanks again!

Working from home is necessary for yours truly due to a accident that
almost took my left leg. At 67, and working just to pay bills before the accident 12/16/07.http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley18.gif

Answer (YES)

If I'm going to earn a living it will be on the internet;http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley18.gif

Hi Everyone,
That isa great article. I am new, just joined today, and I am very excited to be here. I am looking forward to learning a lot and contributing whenever I can. Jackie

Love the article.... Way to Go!!!!

Jackie
wahm will probably notify you about your signature. If you can't prove you made that amount in 27 days.

Just a friendly piece of advice. You might try just leaving off the "like me"
It is a good system with alot of good information.Worth alot more than the $9 Good Luck

Great article! Way to go WAHM!!!

Re. Max01's post -- The article is good comparing standard work schedules with residual income's benefits. However, we , too -- at least when starting can find it hard to find enough time and direction to promote effectively.

I am a newbie here and just wanted to say thanks and that I enjoyed reading that. Very well done and helpful!

That is awesome to get publicity like that. Good article as well.

Publicity can be negative or positive. Consider politics!

Nice article! Thanks for sharing.

Great article. I have friends who envy WAHMs. They thought that working at home is a very easy job. I have to explain in great detail what WAHMs are up to everyday. Nothing is as simple as everyone thinks.

Working at home is a lot harder than most people think. I guess it's hard to imagine that being at home can still be work. :-)

Now you've agreed with me. Working at home -- if you hope to succeed -- is harder than most realize.
If you have a product that people should actually see and taste, but email much faster way to get news out, one is always torn between catching up with the email,blogs,forums etc.; and getting out there offering people your literature and/or samples.
Does anyone have suggestions on prioritization?

Georgia Jenkins

Thank you for sharing these information.

what a great site and article! i must say a few months ago, i was fustrated till i found what is working for me!!

Great article, and it's in my hometown newspaper!

I've worked harder for myself at home than I worked at any job, but what I love the most is that I can do it on MY own schedule. Being a complete night owl, I can work until 2 or 3 am if and when I want to, and sleep in.

If I am sick or need to do something/go somewhereduring a week day, I don't have to go through the horror of trying to decide whether to call in sick or to try and live through the day at work feeling like I'm at Death's door or something, or whether to spend my pitiful little allowance of paid time off for it!

When times have been very tough in my work at home career and I've considered giving up and getting a JOB again, I could just never bring myself to do it. And I plan to never do it again!

Laurie,
I agree with you in that you work harder -- or longer hours in home business, but it doesn't seem that way except when forced to do something unnatural -- like managing audio or video on computer for a "non-tech". I sure didn't have the diversity when I was just fighting the clock trying to get meds. out and treatments done in time.
As for sickness, check out '997's "c" business at http://www.georgiashealthycoffee.com/
Georgia Oops - for the looker -- I don't know what I did for link to show up

Having an 8-5 job is taxing because a working mother seldom finds time with her children. Thanks to this work-at-home technology - more time is set aside for the children and the family as a whole. And the commuting problem? Oh it's already a thing of the past.

Reminder : i was challenged on webinar with other company that even in holiday season and depressed economy we should keep positive and promote. Many looking for help.

Wow, good for you Cheryl, congrats and keep up the good work.smileys/smiley20.gif

Check signature file for help with your marketing . '997' is building bigger and better websites for those who associate in 2 or more levels and contribute.

Wow! Excellent Article! Thanks!

Working at home can be very challenging especially at the beginning because people think that things will automatically happen without doing any work! Well it usually doesn't, but if it did, it wouldn't be rewarding either!One of themost rewarding parts of working your own Home Business is the personal growth. That is amazing!

All in all I would say one of the best decisions I made was working my own Home Business! How rewarding!!! What a blessing it has been to me!

http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley20.gifWow, I'm sure you feel great about this...means keep up the great work...it's definitely nice to see articles like this...let's you know you are in the right place...oh btw, I bookmarked the article..hope that's okay,

That's really very interesting article! Thanks for sharing!

Great article with lots of useful information. And, as a person who has the opportunity to speak with a lot of virtual assistants, I agree with their point that working from home isn't for everyone. The most successful virtual assistants posses the skills and attitudes that were listed. Thanks for sharing!:)

Wow-great info-thanks!

BTW-nice seeing you here, Robin!!

I worked as a Telecommuter for a transcription company employee from April 2004 to December 2007 in Operations from home. I thought I had the best job anyone could have. I LOVED working from home. Coffee and on the computer at 8am. My Husband would come home at 2pm and remark are you still in your PJ's? No time to come up for air. I was laid off with 150 others and was devistated. I worked for this company for 8 years. Went to work out in the work force after that and was then again laid off due to the economy. I have longed to work from home and have been looking ever since 4/1. I responded to an ad I found here and start tomorrow. Commission but happy I found something. Everyone has been very helpful in my search. I really appreciate it. I wrote an article on ezine articles about it if you are interested. I had a need to vent and wrote the article. I didn't write it to promote a website I don't have one just felt there were other like me out there so I decided to reach out and touch someone.

Thanks everyone I enjoy listening to you everyday. :D

Good article indeed!

Hi Robin and Char! :p

One of the best articles I have ever read, thank you for sharing it.

I am new to the working from home crowd. I hope to be starting my own online business soon and possibly starting an online tutoring business. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Exactly what I needed to read today. Thanks!

Congratulations! Excellent article with great tips.

Your article is very nice. I really like your article. I have gained a very useful information through your article. Thanks a lot for sharing such a nice article with us.

I asked the paper to do a special on working at home.

WAHM.com was one of the sites they are reffering people to for legit worrk at home.

Hey Cheryl,
I read the responses of the members. The article is worth of compliments. Thanks for sharing. Keep giving us such good links...

Great article and tips. I totally agree that working from home is not for everyone.

I for one is trying hard to juggle between working in my jammies and multitasking in a blending family. :eek:
