Be A Successful Work-At-Home Mom

You are either a mom now, a soon-to-be mom, or you are thinking about becoming a mom. You dread the thought of leaving your baby each day to go to work and you should dread it. It is the hardest thing in the world to do. You long to be a successful work-at-home mom. But that dream seems impossible. You love your children and you want what is best for them, your presence at home, yet your family needs your income. So you continue to leave home each day and make the long and boring commute to work.

I know of one way for you to be a successful work-at-home mom. One way that you can stay at home with your little one and still make money. That way is to build an informational web site about something you know and love with Site Build It (SBI for short).Yes, it can really work. No, it is not hype or a magical get-rich-quick scheme where you will make thousands in a day. It is an honest-to-goodness way to create a real online business. This business takes a lot of hard work. There is nothing easy about it. You cannot just sit back and watch the money roll in.

I wish SBI had been around 22 years ago when I was expecting my first child. I worked until I was in my sixth month. Then, I developed pre-eclampsia and I was hospitalized and then put on bedrest until they delivered my baby. Every few days, I had to go for non-stress tests. At 33 weeks, my baby and I were both in danger so an emergency C-section was performed and I had a 3 pound, 11 ounce baby boy.

Andrew stayed in the hospital for six long weeks. Because I had a C-section, my company gave me eight weeks of maternity leave. I was at the hospital everyday. Finally, the day came when my husband and I got to take our son home. I was over the moon with my precious, tiny baby boy. He weighed just 4.5 pounds when he left the hospital. I got to be at home with him for just two weeks and then it was back to the office everyday for me. I cannot tell you how broken-hearted I was to leave him each morning, but we needed the money. I used to cry all the way to work on the freeway back then. I missed a lot of special moments in his life. If only SBI and the internet had existed back then...

Now, Andrew is 21. He is a junior in college and he is getting married in three weeks (May 2009.) I feel so guilty that I missed so much of his first few years.

Don't let this happen to you. Plan now, before you get pregnant, how you can work from home and not miss one minute of your newborn's day. How? Read on...

What you need to do is pick a topic of interest to you so that you will enjoy writing about the topic day after day. You can write about your favorite hobby, a favorite travel place, what you do out in the business world, being pregnant, being a mom, grocery shopping, cooking, whatever it is that you love.

I have used SBI to build my wedding site, 

  Writing about weddings and doing research about them is fun for me. So I know SBI works.

Let me say now that I knew nothing at all about building a web site prior to my experience with SBI. I was looking online for a way to make some extra money to help my kids pay for college. I read a lot of good things about SBI. I researched for a month and I never could find anything negative about the company so finally, I took the plunge, bought a site and started building.

Actually, I started reading first. Reading what? I began reading the Action Guide that comes with Site Build It. It is SBI's "bible" so to speak. This guide actually guides you through the process of choosing the best concept for your web site and shows you how to easily find the keywords that will make your site successful. Of course, to make your site really successful, you have to use what SBI founder, Ken Evoy, calls BAM--brains and motivation. You have to think and work hard and be motivated to succeed. Your site will not build itself. But honestly, the Action Guide is so well written that it takes you through everything so you are never alone.

If you have problems with anything, SBI has a great community on their forums who will help you. The other web site owners are fabulous and very generous with their time.

How do you make money with a web site? There are several ways. One of the easiest ways is to have Google Adsense Ads on your site. There are contextual ads that you can put on there as well, such as Kontera or Infolinks. Chitika ads can be seen only if your site is found through the search engines so regular visitors to your site will not see them and be annoyed with more ads. You can sign up to be an affiliate with companies. This will earn you a commission each time someone buys something. Some people write e-books and sell them on their web sites. Others sell hard goods such as jewelry, clothing, or whatever interests them.

The package that SBI offers is complete. They provide everything you need to start a successful business so that you can be a successful work-at-home mom. You will be happy, your child will be happy, your bank account will be happy.

So, do the research. Then choose SBI and begin building your online business. If you are fortunate, you are reading this before you get pregnant or during your pregnancy so that by the time your baby is born, you will already be making some money. Continue to work on your site when the baby is napping. Your site will continue to grow, which means your income will continue to grow. You will get to be at home, watching your baby grow and you will not miss one moment with your precious little one, instead of being at the office, wondering what it is you are missing today.
