Well – I am going to offer a bit of an apology straight off the top, as I am sure that there may be some who are going to be offended or ticked off about my post today.  However, after doing some serious thinking and by being online for 3 years now, I believe that I know what I am talking about when I write this.

For the past couple of months, another WAHM and I have worked very hard at setting up a great community site to help other moms and parents who want to work from home.  We have added a ton of resources to help, we have offered our own help inside the forum – and we have basically set things up so that we have a platform to help everyone get to the point they are aiming for.

But – as I have noticed over my time online, it seems that unless you are promising an exact method – or one of those hyped up “systems” that “guarantee you will be making thousands of dollars a month by simply typing in numbers on your computer…..” – that people aren’t interested.

The ones who are, however, are the ones you know are serious about getting ahead.  They are serious about putting in the necessary work to succeed at whatever they are setting out to do.  Because, you know what?  There are no sure-fire, make money RIGHT NOW methods online, no matter what you may be hearing otherwise.

Last spring, I put together a huge guide of information for anyone who is interested in working at home – it is full of links, resources, tips to help you find work – everything that you would need if you are just getting started and are looking for a direction to follow.  Everything is put into one guide – in one very easy to follow and access format – to basically hold your hand and help you search for something that you might be interested in.

However – again, it seems that people aren’t as interested in this kind of information as they are in the kind that they eventually end up saying they have been “scammed” over.  And, sadly, it happens time and time again!  People would rather pay for the information that shows how you can process rebates from home for ridiculous amounts of money…..and this really frustrates me!

Those kind of jobs are just now real – in fact, most of the time they are flat out scams!

But, people keep paying good money for this kind of stuff!

Maybe I was way off base when I went to the trouble of putting it all together – the stuff to avoid, the best resources to find work, actual links to companies hiring workers – because I can’t guarantee anyone will make anything with the information I provide.  It requires them to actually go out and apply for jobs, and look for work through the resources and links I give in the guide – and unfortunately, too many people think that there must be an easier way!

Anyway – Sandi and I opened up our forum and membership site to people to come in and check it out – completely free – and we had some who came on board.  But – there was not the numbers we were hoping for.  Now, while I realize that a lot of people don’t want to get involved in any kind of social community until there is more activity – and more members are signed up – but how else will a community ever be built?

We are trying to create a place that people can feel free to ask any questions they want – without being jumped on with advertisements for business opportunities, or be made to feel that their question was “dumb”.

And, we also want to make a place that people CAN promote their business opportunities, and maybe use it to network in a more relaxed atmosphere – in a section just for that kind of activity.

For those who have come over and taken a chance – and seen what we have put together – we want to say thank you!  We know that things have been slow getting started, but we hope that we can create a community together that fits everyone’s needs.

And, to those of you who have bought my guide – and thanked me for the information you learned from it – I also want to say thank you.  I hope that you can find what you are looking for, and that you will make use of what you have learned!

We are now changing our direction – and we are going to offer our membership as a bonus that is included in the price of the guide.

So – you are now getting the chance to get the basic starter information in the guide (which is full of links and ideas), and then you can sign up for the lifetime membership at the forum – where you will get access to more resources and help from other work at home moms.  This is a HUGE offer, and I guarantee you will not find anything else like it online.

I am still in the process of putting the finishing touches on everything – so if you end up buying the guide before I have updated some of the info with how to access the membership site – just let me know.

There is help out there – and there are real, LEGITIMATE and honest ways to make money from home – but you need to stop looking for the easy answers.  Take the time to learn the basics and really put an effort into finding satisfying work that you can be proud of.  Would you really feel satisfied and proud to tell people you make money stuffing envelopes for a living?  (Even if that WAS a legitimate method of making money at home!)

Again – I am sorry if you are one who is offended by what I have said.  I just get very frustrated with people who keep complaining and crying that they have been scammed, and that there isn’t any way to make legitimate money online working at home……..There are ways, but you need to be willing to put a bit of work into finding them.

There is no such thing as “Get Rich Quick” - and you need to stop waiting for that miracle method that will have you making money without doing anything.  It isn’t out there – and once you realize that – you need to pull up your bootstraps and start looking for the REAL work.  And, when someone offers to give you help, take it!

If you are interested in seeing what is included in the guide – it is at www.FromHomeMomsWorkSource.com I am going to be redoing the salespage to include the membership part of it (which you can see now at www.WAHMSAlliance.com).

I hope we can help at least some of you achieve your work at home dreams!
