Hello Moms!

Sorry for the very late October newsletter! Phew! Got it to you just in the knick of time :-)

We've had a lot of fun and exciting things happening on FreelanceMom. Last month's mention of FreelanceMom on CNN Money really gave us a membership boost over on the forum. Now is the time to join us if you haven't already, we have a lot of new members - some just starting out, and others who have been successfully running a home business for years.

The Buddy Network has taken off and proven to be a supportive and inspiring enviornment to talk about our business goals, share ups and downs of daily work life and encourage and applaud each other. If you want to work with women serious about taking their business to the next level - join us by creating a thread for your goals.

Working from home can potentially be isolating - joining networks and forums is a good way to keep yourself social and to challenge yourself to keep up with current marketing and industry trends which can mean everything for your business success.



Advertisers: I'm working on a brand new section of FreelanceMom - it will be a comprehensive list of different home business ideas and will include a section for business opportunities. Each business opportunity company will have a featured sponsor. Sponsors will have exclusive advertising rights in their section. Interested? Contact me for more details.

Home Business Tip

Looking for quality incoming links to your website?

1. Network with bloggers in your niche. Offer a few well written blog posts as a guest blogger. The content should be original, and not something you will publish elsewhere. This gives the blogger some good, unduplicated content in exchange for a link to your site in the bio.

2. Consider a new approach to article distribution. Along the same lines, make a list of the top 5 websites you would love to have an inbound link from. Write a very good article and email each webmaster. Let them know that the article is being offered to only 5 websites for publication and you'd be honored if they would accept and include the article on their website in exchange for keeping the bio intact. Webmasters aren't as excited these days about posting articles that have been distributed all over the web via article directories. Any webmaster educated in the science of SEO would definitely take interest in your offer.

3. Offer testimonials. Many of us Internet Marketers have purchased ebooks or other online services, purchased advertising space from websites or otherwise benefitted from a quality web source. Consider writing to the owner/webmaster and offering them a great testimonial for use on their site. Politely request that they link to your website in the signature of the testimonial.

Get innovative with your quest for inbound links. There are lots of opportunities out there and approaches like the ones above will definitely be refreshing to webmasters who are weary from the many reciprocal link exchange requests they receive all the time.

Ten Tips For Managing A Home Based Business
Time is money, especially for a home based business. A data entry operator in a cubicle can slack off, play a game on their cell phone, and chat for an hour at the water cooler. The home based business owner does not share this luxury. Every minute they are not actively generating income, is a minute they are not earning money. No one will deposit a check into their account once a week, whether they earned every penny of it, or not.

The Joys Of Freelance Home Writing
Freelance writing can be one of the most profitable and enjoyable ways to earn a living from the comfort of your home. With thousands of business owners and online sites calling for content, there is a great need for independent contract writers who have the skill and time to create relevant copy. Whether you are a parent who desires to stay home with children or someone who simply wants the freedom the work from home profession provides, the benefits of freelance writing from home are abundant.

Time Management Skills
As a Life Coach, and after coaching many different clients, I have come to realize that to effectively manage time, we need to first realize that time itself cannot be managed! We all get
seven days a week and 168 hours within those seven days. This cannot be increased or changed in any way. However, what we can change, improve and manage is ourselves. In essence then, true time management now becomes management of ourselves – "self management!"

What's Going On in the FreelanceMom Forums?

We currently have over 6200 members and some really great conversations going on! Join us to talk about your home business ideas. Poll our members for their opinions, share your successes or just stop off for a cup of tea!
