Here’s to the Legitimate Home Based Business! The “real” guide to working from home.

I can’t begin to tell you how many legitimate home based business ideas I’ve tried to find. Instead, I keep finding scams…the ones that promise to make money fast. These people know moms are desperate for money, and worried about raising kids. As a result, they market to moms who want to:

1. Wholeheartedly be home with their kids.

No wonder so many moms lose precious time and money believing scams that simply are lies. Let’s face it, moms today want choices. We want to:

-Be close to our children.

-Have flexibility to enjoy our lives with family.

-Be home to greet our children after school.

-Be home to with our babies.

-Be home with our kids for snow days, doctor appointments, etc, etc...

And….

-Make our own money.

-Keep our careers moving forward.

-Stay alert with activities and work that challenges us.

-Avoid boredom and depression.

-Be passionate about our work and children.

-Create balance with work and family (too much of either one

drives you insane!).

-Feel happy everyday.

So, are we asking for too much? I have a quick answer to this: No.

In fact, at life-and-the-pregnant-woman, we’ve vowed to discover legitimate home based business ideas and opportunities for parents that are sick of scams. Honestly, aren’t you tired of trying to find the “right” opportunity, just to discover that you have to work 10,000 hours before you get paid pennies of commission? Come on! We have KIDS, we don’t have time for lies and nonsense.

We want you to spend your time and money WISELY. We want this to work for you! So, here’s the real scoop on the legitimate home based business. Here’s HOW to make money from home. We’ll be expanding this site regularly with the latest and greatest LEGITIMATE home based business ideas for you.

Stop relying on someone else to GIVE you the right job. Create it yourself. Here’s how:

1. What do you love? What are your talents and strengths? You may love art, but if you have to trace stick figures, it’s not gonna work. Think about what you LOVE to do, and then ask yourself, am I SKILLED at this too?

2. Do some research. Check out other successful businesses in your area. The good news about successful businesses is that they’re working! So, this is good news for you. And, think about how you could put a spin on the idea. What can you do differently?

3. Build a successful website ! Plenty of places offer web domain names for just a few dollars. But, what are you supposed to do with that? Just because you have a catchy idea or name, doesn’t mean anyone is searching for it online.

Here’s the best news yet: There IS a company we highly recommend that’s so easy to use. You don’t have to know a thing about building a website, or how to get people to visit it. Site-Build-It does it all for you, on a budget. Its how we’ve been so successful here!

4. Market yourself for FREE! Let others know what you’re doing. Spread the word. Word of mouth is your most powerful marketing tool, and it's easy to show you've created a legitimate home based business to others. Avoid spending hundreds of dollars jumping into ads. Instead, print up some professional business cards for FREE , and tell others what you’re doing.

5. Gather people's e-mail addresses at parties, and start a newsletter . Newsletters go directly to people's in-boxes, so you don’t have rely on them to come to you. Even more, you can introduce your latest product, talk about a service, and position yourself as an expert. Once again, this is a free way to begin spreading the word.

6. BELIEVE in yourself. Listen, we know that it’s hard. Having a child on the way, especially if you already have children is tough. And then adding the idea of working for yourself feels tremendously difficult. But, what’s the alternative? Either way, having small kids requires lots of your time and energy, whether you’re going to a job or working at home. So, you might as well do what you love, and create a LEGITIMATE home based business that allows you to create the work/life balance you deserve.

7. Its not full-time. Think about, when you’re at work full-time, how many hours are you honestly working? How much time do you spend doing other things? Wouldn’t you rather spend a few committed hours working at home than spend a whole day at work? It doesn’t take full-time hours to create a flow of income doing what you love. It only takes a few “committed” hours per week. Honestly.
