Women Working Globally

The representation of business women in the global market today is rapidly increasing and working in foreign countries offers enormous business potential for women. This does not come however, without its difficulties particularly where women are concerned.

It is a misconception that women in business are not equipped to undertake work in foreign countries and that the global market is best overseen by men. This is an issue however, which is now changing across the globe and it is becoming more acceptable and familiar to see women undertaking business in the global market. Some of the misconception has also been centered around the fact that women have not been offered posts abroad as they may not be accepted to undertake business in other countries in the global market.

Business dealings in the global market are always going to pose some hurdles in respect of local culture, customs, wariness and acceptance and there is no evidence that women have a more difficult time than men where the business dealings are concerned.

Customs vary from one country to another and the attitude to women may differ from our own, but this does not preclude women from the global business market. It is also important for women undertaking business in the global arena, not to mistake a particular attitude of a male counterpart for gender bias, which may be nothing more than cultural attitude.

In some cultures it is perfectly accepted for people to stand close to one another and this may be thought too familiar on the part of a woman conducting business with a male.

As the global business market increases and women’s role in it more literature and training information targeted towards the women in the global arena. The two rules therefore are: a) do not dismiss women from working in the global market. b) Intercultural training is a must.

The forum rules will dictate how many characters or lines or urls you can add.

Once you have joined a forum look for the category that invites you to introduce yourself and take advantage of this. Remember, you are not there to advertise your online home business, your signature will do that for you, simply tell the forum where you are from and a little about yourself.

Some forums have categories where you can submit your articles, do not ignore this if you have articles to submit because other members may select them to send to their lists. Also fellow members could be e-zine owners and they might just pick your article up for their newsletter. You may also find a category dedicated to discussion on all topics related to self-improvement. This most certainly fits into a money-making forum because power, energy and creativity translates into being able to make more money.

You may also find categories dedicated to joint ventures, free e-books, reciprocal links, special offers as well as off-topic forums where you can discuss anything.

The more you get involved, the more you will learn and the more you learn and apply, the more you will earn from your online home business!

WAHM'S, Start Your Blogging For Profit Not Just Pleasure?

When you are blogging for profit, you’ll want to pay close attention to how you present yourself in your blog. There are literally hundreds of thousands of blogs out there, and there may be several hundred blogs that are related to your topic. If your readers can’t understand your blog and have trouble reading it, they’ll just move on to the next one. The following tips can make your blog more user-friendly and help you gain consistent readers.

First, pay close attention to the format of your blog. Readers want to understand how your blog works right from the start. Most blogging platforms have similar formats, with links and tags on the left or right margin, and the most recent post on top. Make sure to use the links wisely. Only put links up for blogs or content that is truly related to your blog’s topic. The point is to give your readers additional information on your topic. Keep the list short and sweet. There is no reason to overwhelm them with links to other sites.

Also, take careful consideration when choosing your blog’s background and font color. Although there are a lot of color choices that blogging programs offer, its best to stick with a light background and dark text. Studies have shown that the human brain can process this type of format better than light text on a dark background. Think about this before you commit to a black background and white text. It might look striking, but readers might not want to stay there for long. Also, use a solid background color instead of trying to use a pattern or design.

Proofread your entries before you post them to your blog. There is nothing that reduces your authority in the eyes of your readers’ more than bad spelling and grammar. The online world is a world of text, so take some time to learn commonly misspelled words and grammatical errors.

Keep your blog fresh and interesting by posting at least once per day. With so much information available on the Internet, your readers may go elsewhere if you aren’t supplying daily content. If you aren’t sure what to write about, try posting a poll, a link to another blog, comment on a news story or post of list of helpful tips. Not every post has to be long and complicated, but you do need to post something everyday.

These tips will help keep your blog readable and interesting to your visitors. The more visitors you get, the more your blog will grow in profitability and importance. Just make sure to present yourself in a professional way and keep your readers coming back for more new content each day. In no time, you’ll have a profitable blog and then you can move on to create two or three.

How Work-At-Home Moms Can Build a Web Business

How Work-At-Home Moms Can Build a Web Business

If you’re a mom that wants to stay involved with her kids, but also wants to contribute to the family in a financial manner, you might want to look at your computer a little more closely.

There are more moms logging onto the Internet than ever, but what does that mean for you? On the Internet, there are millions of websites that are making a profit while the business owners remain in the comfort of their own home. This can be you!

Just because you’re a mom that doesn’t work outside of the home doesn’t mean that you can’t use the time that you do have to create a successful business.

You probably already have the background in business management and other skills from your previous employment experience, and even if you don’t, you can learn them. By working from home, you will still be able to spend that quality time with your children and that is the number one priority as well as perk.

The first thing that you will want to do is come up with an idea for a web business. Just as with any business, you’ll want to determine what the current market needs. Maybe you’ve noticed on message boards from other stay at home moms that they are frustrated with not being able to shop with their children in tow.

Or maybe you’ve noticed that moms would rather order household goods online instead of heading to crowded parking lots and aisles. These are needs that you can address as the main purpose of your business.

Take the time to brainstorm about the various things that you could do for future customers as well as what interests you. If you like health and beauty products, perhaps those can be the main focus of your business. Are you a fitness nut? Consider a web business all about fitness.

Write down as many ideas as you can and start to choose the ones that excite you the most. Also consider which ideas fulfill a need in the market. To make that choice, you’ll want to investigate similar businesses on the Internet to see where they might not be meeting a customers needs – prices, service, etc. – and where you might be able to differentiate yourself.

Next, you’ll need to come up with a way to handle the products that you are selling. This might involve looking for a wholesaler or other manufacturer, as well as looking for a way to distribute these products to your customers once they’re ordered.

The easiest and most cost-effective way to start and run your business is to reach your customers over the Internet. This will require a professional website that can handle large numbers of customers as well as be secure with client information as well as financial details.

You will want to optimize your website with keywords and links so that your site becomes the first one that pops up when a prospective customer wants the items that you are selling. If your website isn’t being seen by your customers, you won’t be able to make the profits that you could be making.

I recommend making this process as easy as possible. Find an all-in-one solution for hosting, search engine submission and optimization and marketing. Be wary of claims that state you can earn thousands of dollars with a $10 website. I recommend and use a company that handles all of the business building aspects – including a step-by-step guide to build and market your business without knowing any technical details. Grab your free work-at-home online business guide below.

Starting and building an online business takes patience and time in the beginning. Once you have your website in place you might find that you can exceed all expectations. Start your business with the correct tools and you’ll be soaring in no time.

Obtaining Success as A Work at Home Mom

I used to think that "work from home" internet opportunities were all a scam. I had heard of some that really were and plus it just sounded too good to be true. I went to college and graduate school, and got a great job in the workforce like most of the other people I knew....then I had children. At first I stayed home with my daughter, but pretty soon we needed money, so I began searching for a part-time job. I searched through hundreds of newspaper ads, websites, etc. Finally I found a decent job working about 15 hours a week. The pay was decent, it was the hours I wanted, it all sounded good...then reality began to set in. My first task was to find a babysitter. No problem I thought, there are tons of great daycares around my house. Wrong! There may have been plenty, but almost every single one of them was full. I finally managed to find one that would take my daughter, but only if she was walking eating table foods, and off the bottle....and it would cost $145 for three days a week!? Although I was making almost three times minimum wage, I ended up profiting about $25 a week after I paid the daycare and for the gas in my van! Not only that, but I was constantly stressed out trying to keep the house clean, work, get everything packed and ready for the next day, etc. At that point I was willing to try anything...even "work form home" internet opportunities.

When I first sat down and began researching all of the different opportunities, I felt completely overwhelmed. There seemed to be thousands and thousands of opportunities, all of them claiming that THEY were the best way to make money online. I didn't even know where to start. As I began sorting through them, I came to the conclusion that they could be broken down into several categories: Envelope stuffing, assembly or craft work, chain letters, medical billing, affiliate programs, sales (ebay, etc.), and online investing. While there can be scams in any of these categories, there can also be success. The key is to find something that you are interested in and are good at, find jobs in that area, and research them thoroughly before you jump right in. If you are able to find your niche, your income potential is limitless. I have been working from home for over a year now, and it was the best decision I ever made. I play with my kids most of the day and work when they are taking their naps or in bed for the night. Our whole family is happier and less stressed and I am doing so well that we are looking to buy a bigger house!

ABCs for the Work at Home Mom – Part 1

Work-at-home moms face many different challenges. From learning to accept help when needed, to building confidence in ourselves, to remembering the reasons why we chose to work from home. Below is the first in a series of tips to help work-at-home moms in the simplest of ways – the ABC’s.

A = Adjustments. A work at home mom must expect the unexpected. She must be prepared to adjust her schedule at any given moment for any number of reasons - a sick child, a backed up drain, or an upset client. A mom who learns to welcome these moments as a chance to show love to her family and concern for her clients will be ahead of the game in the end. Approach these "interruptions" with a great attitude and see what a difference it makes.

B = Better. Works at Home Moms have to be on top of their game. To run a business as well as manage a household takes determination and scheduling. You may not feel like you have a schedule, but take a look at your day/week and see how you are spending your time. Next, think about what you can do better, what you can delegate and what would be better off removed from your schedule to allow you to spend your time in a better manner.

C = Confidence. You wouldn't be a work at home mom without it. Take time to celebrate each success no matter how minute it may seem. Each success will help grow your confidence and turn you into a savvier businesswoman.

D = Dry - Don't let things dry up. Keep content fresh, offer new products and services whenever possible. This will keep you motivated and keep customer returning.

E = Effort - Don't kid yourself. It takes a TON of effort to make a home-based business successful. Don't give up with thing get rough. Keep plugging away - it will pay off

F = Feisty - Every work at home mom has to be at least a tad bit feisty. :) Stand up for your business when need be - don't be afraid to say no when necessary.

G = Generosity - When I fist began my business I sought advice from many successful work-at-home moms. One of the best pieces of advice I received was that what I gave to others would come back tenfold. I've found that to be very true. Helping others is as much a blessing to me as it is to others.

H = Help - There will come a time that you’ll need help. You must be willing to accept it, to allow others to do for you what you cannot. In turn, try to be a help to other when they are in need.

I = If - If you don’t do it, who will? Mothering is such an important role that gets overlooked so often these days. Always remember that being there for your children is the BEST gift you can ever give them.

J = "Just for you" - Take a little time to do something just for you each day. Even 5 minutes of doing something you enjoy can revive a tired mommy.

K = Keep - Keep your chin up. It will get better. Don’t let a lag in business growth get you down. Find some creative ways to get the ball rolling again.

L = Laugh - Take time to laugh with you kids each day. And don’t be afraid to laugh at yourself when need be.

M = Mommy - Remember, the reason you do all that you do is for those little ones who call you "Mommy."

Working from home can be difficult, but it is well worth the effort. By keeping things in perspective we can reduce the stress that we put on ourselves. Remember these ABC’s and you’ll go far in your work-at-home career.

ABCs for the Work at Home Mom – Part 2

Work-at-home moms face many different challenges. From learning to accept help when needed, to building confidence in ourselves, to remembering the reasons why we chose to work from home. Below is the second in the series of tips to help work-at-home moms in the simplest of ways – the ABC’s.

N = No - Work at Home Moms need to be able to say "No" when the situation calls for it. Don't be afraid to stand up for your business or to choose NOT to work with a customer who is more trouble than it's worth.

O = Office - As Work at Home Moms, we usually put ourselves last on the list. However, when we're in business it's important to have some room (even a corner) that is set aside strictly for business.

P = Priorities - It's hard to keep your priorities straight when raising a family and building a business. Take some time each week/month to sit down and evaluate your priorities and cut out things in your schedule that don't fit in.

Q = Quiet Time - It may seem impossible to find a time to sit, relax and be quiet when you have so many demands on your time. However, it's more important than ever that you take a little time for yourself to rejuvenate and renew when you grow weary.

R = Respect - Like the golden rule says, it's important to treat others as we'd like to be treated. This is so true for work at home moms - we must show the utmost in professionalism and treat even the most difficult clients with respect.

S = Significant Other - As work at home moms it's easy to get wrapped up with our business, our kids, ourselves. Don't forget to take the time to appreciate your husbands!

T = Time - As work-home-moms time is the ultimate enemy. :) Learn to prioritize and delegate whenever possible. Take time out for your kids each day - you'll be glad you did!

U = Unique - Your business needs to be unique to stand out from the crowd. Even if your product isn't unique you can always find a unique way to approach marketing, customer service, etc. Get creative and stand out from the rest!

V = Vision - It's so important to have a clear vision of where you want your business to go. Sit down and make a list of where you'd like to be in 5 years, in 10 years, etc. Without goals you won't get anywhere.

W = Wisdom - It's important to seek wisdom when running your own business. You won't always know the answer, so you need to find others that you trust that you can turn to when these things arise.

X = eXcitement - Celebrate each success! Keep yourself motivated and excited about your business. Try to share your business with someone new each day. Just telling someone about what you do can bring back that "spark" of excitement about your career!

Y = Yes - Yes! You CAN do it! Each of us started with a dream, a vision and the faith that we could make it happen. It takes hard work, determination and a "Yes!" attitude, but it CAN be done!

Z = Zoo - Yes, life as a work at home mom really is a zoo, but it's worth it! Being at home to see your child's first step, hear their first word - it just doesn't get better than that.

Working from home can be difficult, but it is well worth the effort. By keeping things in perspective we can reduce the stress that we put on ourselves. Remember these ABC’s and you’ll go far in your work-at-home career.

Discover How Savvy Work at Home Moms Earn an Income from Home

The obvious answer is by working. However, it is more expensive to leave your home and go to work these days. Between the costs of work clothes, gas, lunches, day care, and car maintenance you are only left with just small change as a pay check. According to the National Child Care Agency, the average cost of day care per child is $200 per week. So if you are working 40 hours per week at $10 per hour, you really end up making $2.50 per hour. That's an amazing $7.50 per hour taken away from you for day care alone. I won't scare you with the average gas usage per week, but i'm sure you are fully aware how it affects your weekly budget.

So, how do savvy work at home moms earn a respectable living? Do you have an entrepreneurial spirit? Ever thought about a home business? Well why not join the ranks of telecommuters by changing that spare room into a home office. Becoming a self employed mom is easier than you think. Some companies now allow employees to telecommute from home a few times a week. But wouldn't be savvier to work completely from home, make your own hours, be the owner of your own time? Home-based business opportunities are numerous. You could become a virtual assistant, a tutor, provide services out of your own home, or even do something more innovative like teaching baby sign language. You get to choose your own destiny! Not only will you be in business of being a mom; you will be a mom in business. Becoming a CEO mom is fun, exciting, challenging, and frightening all at the same time.

Many work from home opportunities are legitimate, but don't have the support necessary for home workers to succeed. Some are downright scams. How do you protect yourself from falling victim to unscrupulous crooks? First, if it sounds to good to be true it probably is. Given today's technology, there is real money to be made in home enterprises, however, the odds are highly against pulling in a six-figure income by working only two hours per week. Second, websites like Work at Home Enterprises do an excellent job of vetting home-based businesses. Third, check with the Better Business Bureau to see if any complaints have been lodged against the business. These steps will ensure that you have a legitimate opportunity to earn an income from home.

Although you may have many fears in building a home enterprise, Career Kits are available to give you proper guidance on how to start and operate your business. You can finally gain your financial freedom all from the comfort of your own home! Statistics with the Department of Labour show that more and more people are choosing a life of of employment liberation. When you become self-employed you feel a sense of financial security. There are no worries of company mergers or a younger person replacing you. Never again would you feel guilty for leaving your sick child for someone else to care for.

How could you lose? Working in the comfort of your own home, saving money while making money, and spending that quality time with your family that is so needed in children today. Having a job from home also teaches your children how to be hard working and responsible through the fine example of your home office. Plus, as a work at home mom you are more likely to be able to monitor your childs activities outside of school. According to the National Crime and Victims Bureau, there is a higher rate of juvenile delinquency in latch key children. Latch key children being the term used for children raised in day care centres. These children grow up feeling neglected and never get to know the true concept of good family values. They have difficulty understanding your values and morals and distinguishing right from wrong. This leaves them easy prey for criminals and unscrupulous people. Luckily, your supervision and guidance can keep your kids safe.

With a little help, you can establish a home business and be there to teach and inspire your children. Being successful at self-employment also gives you a personal sense of accomplishment. Take the challenge and reap the rewards and benefits that you and your family deserve. You can reach the dream that so many others desire! If you close your eyes I bet you can smell your fresh cup of coffee, made just like you like it. Feel the warmth of your soft flannel pyjamas and slippers instead of pantyhose and heels. All of this while working from home and earning money for your household. Start your life as a savvy entrepreneur and join the ranks of the self-employed today!
