Mums Picky About Work from Home Offers

There’s a new brand of ‘mum’ out there and she is a tiger to deal with. Mums have long been the target of advertisers. Smart companies know that when it comes to shopping and buying decisions in households, ‘Mum’ is leading the way.

For decades, companies have focused on getting mothers to look at their products. For example, Jif® peanut butter has long used the slogan ‘Choosy Moms Choose Jif.’ Some companies, like Tylenol® focus on reassuring parents that their brand is the #1 brand recommended by pediatricians. We can all think of many ways that companies target mums and work to build trust if we stop and focus on it.

However, there is a change in the wind when it comes to purchasing products, buying services, and exploring other possibilities. These days the Internet has opened up a world of options for mums. One of the biggest and most promising choices available to a mum in this day and time is the ability for her to work from home and bring in extra income. With today’s current economic conditions, it is becoming even more critical that she bring home the bacon and fry it up in a pan too.

With all that being said, owners and companies of legitimate businesses and opportunities now have to ‘face the tigress’ complete with all her skepticism. When a person has been burned, lied to or even scammed, it is very hard to gain that person’s trust even though you are presenting her with a legitimate and credible way to earn income.

It’s a great time for mums to explore working  for themselves. Seek a company with credentials you can trust. It is true that there are legitimate, ethical and reliable ways to work from home. It is true that there are hundreds of scams out there. Look for a company that provides you with the following information:

· -Company’s information on their products and services
· -Company’s free training and ongoing mentoring
· -Company Credentials (should be easily verified)
· -Company Growth Chart, Length of time in Business
· -Annual Income Statistics
· -Company ‘re-order’ or ‘return shopper’ potential.

There are some basic questions that everyone should ask when looking into a reliable way to work for yourself. The answers are pretty basic too and should be a standard for all companies. You’ll know how do-able the business will be for you with the right questions and the right answers.

How does one juggle working from home with a baby?

Readers Question: If I return to work, and my boss is amenable to the idea, how does one juggle working from home with a baby? My baby seems to take up my whole day anyway, so when do I find time to “work” in there as well as look after him? Does it really work when my baby is at an age where he can’t entertain himself?

Answer: Working from home can work when you have children of any age. What it really comes down to is the different abilities of the individual to juggle all the balls in their own lives. We all have different factors in our lives, and working from home is not for everyone. It is hard work and requires some strategies to make it work.

Firstly it is important to discuss your employer’s expectations. Some employers require set hours while others are happy for the work to be completed at a time that suits you so long as it meets a deadline. Discussing your plans with your partner is also important as it will effect them by way of extra housework help, or caring for the children if you work in the evenings etc.

Other considerations are; whether someone can offer childcare, how many hours do you have available to work each week (i.e.: when baby is sleeping, evenings), type of work you would be doing (phone work requires quiet, while being a forum moderator doesn’t have the same necessity).

Ultimately, stay true to yourself and don’t over commit yourself. Develop some strategies to help you in an emergency for example; personally when I am on an important phone call and B2 decides he is going to cry, I open the door to B1′s bedroom and let him play in big brother room for the 5 or 10 minutes I need. It really comes down to what works for you. I hope you gain some clarity about your plans for the future.
