Networking - Getting Connected With Other Work-At-Home Moms

December 23, 2007 | No Comments

One of the best ways to network with other work at home moms is through online message boards and forums. There are forums/message boards dedicated specially to work at home moms and frequenting them would give you plenty of opportunities to meet and network with other moms.

All you need to do is to choose a forum (just do a search on google.com for “work at home moms forum”) and register with the site to be able to introduce yourself and discuss opportunities with other women like you. Unlike other forums, work at home moms are extremely helpful and once you have broken the ice with them and told them where you are from and some more stuff about yourself, other moms are likely to come forward to help you find some business or freelance job that might suit you. You are likely to find advice on how to start a business and other employment opportunities here.

Once you start posting messages and reading them, you will realize that there is generally a place where you can mention your website and access other people’s website to understand the kind of work other women are doing from home. As a starter if you find that there is a specific model of business that you fancy for yourself, contact the person and mention how impressed you were with the site and in no time, you will hear from her about what it involves and how you can also set up something similar.

If you spend some time on the forums and posts, you will realize that many work at home moms may have questions about your line of expertise. Start answering them sincerely and soon you will realize that word spreads around and you will become known for some the aspect that you have mastery over.

If you have used the services of a work at home mother and have been pleased with it, recommend it to others. This marketing favor that you do will be returned to you in some way or another. Also remember that one you have established yourself, you should not forget the help and aid that these posts and forums provided you in your initial struggle. Remember to continue to visit these posts since they can prove to be a constant source of business. It is also your duty to repay the favors that have been given to you.

So when there is a new starter on board, help them in whatever manner to ensure that they can also succeed in the endeavor to work from home and spend more time with their kids. Networking plays an important part in the corporate world and there is no reason why it will not be extremely beneficial to you as a person and a businesswoman.
