This is a very legitimate home business done successfully by many moms. You market it to schools, churches, hospitals, day care centers, anywhere there are kids and parents.You really need 2 skills for this one and you need to be - or become - quite good at both of them. First, you need to be able to market what you have to offer. Start with people you know such as your church, school, doctor's office, dentist's office, even co-workers, etc. Ask if you can leave fliers on a table or in a rack. Branch out to areas where you are not known. Hopefully that will include your local Childrens Hospital (if you are known there it means your lid is sick and that is not a good thing.)If you get queasy at the thought of marketing, maybe this isn't the home business for you. In order to be successful at this you will have to sell folks on the idea that it will be fun for their kids to get such a letter, and you are just the one to put it together for them! The other skill you will need is the ability to write. If the parents see a poorly composed letter riddled with grammatical and spelling errors, not only will you not get any repeat business, but they will tell their friends and neighbors what a crummy job you did! Word of mouth is powerful - good or bad!This is a home business that can be done all year long with different characters. Think Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy, any non-copyrighted character.If you would like to explore the possibility of starting a home business like this, let me recommend a kit from Bizymoms. Right now they are running a Holiday Special - for a limited time you can get the kit for only $49, which is a whopping savings of $100 off!If you are even a little bit interested, jump at this now so you don't kick yourself in the tush later!
Take the FREE Home Business Survey and get matched up with 5 Home Businesses!There are several variations on this theme. Most of them have you fill out a short form with your name, address, phone number, and maybe interests or whatever. You have just become a "prospect" or a "lead." The person whose site you signed up through is paid a small amount for doing the work of providing the lead - your name and contact info. Your contact info is sold to home business owners looking to expand and grow their home businesses. ==> There is no point in not providing good info. You won't get any information about the work at home opportunities you are interested in, and the company will take back the money they paid the person whose site you signed up from. That person is most likely a wahm as you would like to be. If it makes you feel better, provide a throw-away e-mail address.Anyway, you are then contacted by up to five people to see if you would be interested in working the business they are working. They will do their best to state their case - it is up to you to know your self, you strengths, weaknesses, and abilities. If you are not interested, just say so. Most of them will not waste any more of their time or yours. If you get a "bad apple" report him or her to the lead generation company (on the bottom of the form you filled out in the first place, and to the company they represent. You will be writing all this down for future reference, right?Overall, this is a good way for you to find out some of the ways to make money from home that are "out there." There no cost to you, so you have nothing to lose.Keep in mind that these are not the only work from home opportunities available, so if you don't find what you are looking for, you are welcome to visit my 2 sites, listed to the right. On both of them you will find a wide variety of choices!
