Working Moms Taking Charge From Home

By Elizabeth Clark


Thinking outside the box is what stay-at-home moms must start doing. And mothers who have a greater disadvantage are the low income moms. At least, mothers in the middle income bracket start with something.

It's not always the low income mothers fault for needing government assistance. And trying to overcome the daily struggles of a situation that is most depressing.

Many low income moms have come from dysfunctional and abusive family situations. These circumstances have led to unplanned pregnancies.

Out of more than 2 pregnancies, 1 is unplanned or unwanted. These problems are more severe in higher dysfunctional families.

Moms are under tremendous pressure to care for their children. Lacking education or technical skills and running out of support from family and friends. Can mom change this equation?

Mom is forced to work many hours for very little pay. With child care costs, unpaid bills, and the need for quality transportation. Mom's stress level affects her innocent child.

Depressed and emotionally drained most mothers can't give quality attention to their children. This can greatly affect the behavior of her child. Lack of confidence and the desire to excel in school can be the result.

Not receiving the attention from mom that her child craves; can cause negative behavior and a bad attitude towards other children.

Mom tries relentlessly to focus her time and energy on her children; yet she is drained and wore out by the end of the day.

This can cause poor eating habits which lead to poor health for mom and her child. The worst part is that moms who work a regular job earn 15 to 20% less then a woman without a child.

And even worse, the mother whose income is above the earned income level, receives NO assistance. Meaning taxes for the middle income mother can take a big portion of her earnings.

The middle income mom has to work even harder with no assistance or support. This is very stressful for mom and her health. Does mom receive any enjoyment?

Well let's add up mom's typical day. Mom has sore feet from standing all day. Stressed to her limit because her boss is never satisfied. Forced to endure gossip from her coworkers all day long. Then has to deal with rush hour traffic after work.

Mom picks up a energetic child wanting her undivided attention. Yet mom is exhausted trying to hide her true pain. Her cell phone ringing, with extra demands from family and friends.

The human body and mind cannot endure this kind of pressure on a continual basis. So what is the answer? Working from home with affiliate marketing. There are no startup cost.

You can run your affiliate home business from the public Library. The tax savings are great. There are Internet books, and companies that will walk you through the entire affiliate marketing process.

Do a google or yahoo search for affiliate marketing. Make a sacrifice and do some research on the products you'd like to sale.

Ask questions, do a little reading about the thousands of affiliate products you could sale. Work with someone you feel comfortable with. You could use your lunch break to do this research.

By sacrificing your time and making the extra effort, you could enhance your lifestyle and instill a business attitude in your child. Just do it, this is what Nike says.

The freedom and peace of mind experienced by working from home, can never be truly explained. If you were to smell oven baked brownies, could you explain the taste? You will never know the joy of working from home until you taste it.
