We are finally done! As you know, Sandi (another WAHM) and I have been busy putting together our WAHMSAlliance Membership site for the past couple of months. It has been exhausting at times, trying to get everything sorted out and organized, but we are finally reaching the end! The site we have put together offers tons of moms home business advice, and work at home job help for all parents who want to work from home. (Yes - dads are welcome too!)
We have managed to get a huge amount of information - through guides, ebooks, reports etc. - which we are planning to make available to members over the next few months. We will be adding new material each month to go along with the coaching that will be going on in the forum, assistance and tips from other work at home moms, plus so much more!
We are also including a INCREDIBLE bonus membership to a great money making site called “Instant Cash Generators” which has a very large following. This membership alone can give members of the WAHMSAlliance unbelievable ideas to help inspire moms to come up with ways of making money. All ideas are very easy to follow and simply need to be implemented for the person to see results. Add that to the library of information we are making available inside the members area, and any woman who truly wants to work at home will be able to succeed!
Both Sandi and I want to help as many people get to the point they want to be as possible - to try avoid some of the learning curve we have both had to go through. So - if you are interested in learning some moms home business advice, or learn about companies that are hiring work at home employees, or learn how to market yourself and your business, or…..I could go on and on!…..go now to WAHMSAlliance.com and sign up!
You get a full 2 weeks for only $4.95 to give it a bit of a test drive, and then you will only pay $19.99 each month for access to the resources, training and general community assistance that is inside the members area! We are putting a lot of work into this to help other moms get to where they want to be - working at home. And, we hope we will see you there!

Today I want to talk about honesty and integrity in marketing - which is something that is of interest to anyone who is thinking of starting up a business of their own.
I have been working online for over 2 years now, and much of that time has been spent learning and watching what others were doing. The problem I have is that I am not much of a salesperson, which obviously is essential to marketing any business.
I have taken writing jobs for way less than what I felt I deserved to be paid for my time, because I didn’t want to seem pushy and demand the same payment that others were receiving for doing the same work.
Anyway, the point of my post is that the other day I was reading something that was written by a very well known and respected marketer who is making very good money. He basically wrote a story with a message to follow that well known formula - “do unto others…..”
What I got from reading that was to stop trying to do what I was not comfortable with. And - that, for me, is some of the marketing and selling techniques I am seeing being used every day.
Always try to remember to treat your customers how you would want to be treated. Show them respect and honesty - it will go a lot further than pushing them and not really caring how they may be feeling. Yes, you may get more sales by being pushier, but in the end I don’t think it is worth it.
When I first put this guide together, I tried learning everything I would need to be able to sell it. But, I am just not comfortable with some of the exaggerations and tactics that others might use.
I am not good at writing sales letters that will make a person need to buy without even thinking about it - all I can offer is my honest hope that I can help other women work from home like I am. I am not going to try being someone I am not, and I am not going to resort to tactics that I would not want being done to me.
And, I hope that everyone who reads this does the same in their own businesses - whatever they may be. Remember how it feels to be the customer, and try to treat them how you would appreciate being treated.
In the end, your integrity and the opinions of your customers are what is important. Treat them right, and you will have customers for life - and respect that you deserve.
