Virtual Chat Jobs

August 30, 2015 | Leave a Comment

Let me be honest. Working from home is hard!! For many people, it takes awhile to build a steady income which can be tough when you need money right away! The logical choice is a customer service job as they pay a set income for set hours, but if you are a busy Mom like me, set hours with kids at home does NOT mix!! So what do you do??? Well we all know I’m a big fan of direct sales, but that does take time. Another option while you build your business, chat based customer service jobs!

These sound like the perfect job for us busy Mom as you chat with the customers while not having to worry about your kids being loud in the background! Some do require set hours, but not all. Here is a list of a few to check out and apply to!! Happy chatting 😉

Pinterest for Business

August 19, 2015 | 1 Comment

As Facebook has recently changed its rules on allowing people to advertise, more people are looking for other avenues. One great way to advertise your business is through Pinterest! People spend more time each day on Pinterest than Facebook, plus they have the intent to buy and are willing to spend more! Here are a few other fun facts about Pinterest:
 69% of people on Pinterest make purchases vs only 40% from those on Facebook.
 Pinterest is the place to buy, or find inspiration on things you want to buy.
 People spend DOUBLE the amount of money on products they find on Pinterest vs on Facebook
 Food and Drink is the most popular category on Pinterest, followed my Home décor, followed by art and design.
 Pinterest is one of the fastest growing social media sites
 Pinterest has users of all ages
 People spend MORE time on Pinterest than Facebook

So how do you utilize this to grow your business? It takes time, but more and more business, especially large brands, are coming to Pinterest! Start small by getting your boards organized, have good descriptions, and make sure your pins are linked back to your website. Here are some tips to make Pinterest successful for your business.

 *Convert your Pinterest to a BUSINESS account. This gives you analytical information such as the number of clicks, the number of repins, etc and with that feature you can see which pins are helping your business.
 *Fill out your ABOUT section and use details as to what you do and what your website is about
 *Make Your Boards Organized. Have board names that are easy for people to recognize and know what it is that category. Have a fun and engaging picture set for each board. Have lots of boards that cover wide topics.
 *Make sure your boards have detailed descriptions and use SEO keywords and relevant hashtags.
 *Have Group Boards. With these, other people can post to the same board which means you reach their friends and followers PLUS your own!
 *Have engaging and enticing pictures. Pinterest is very visual so make sure your pictures can catch someone’s eye
 *KEYWORDS! Have keywords that will help people find your post. When someone goes to google, and types in “work from home jobs for moms”, you want them to be able to find your post right away. To do so, you need to make sure to use keywords that describe exactly what your post is about or what you are promoting/selling/taking about. Take time and think about who you are trying to attract and your audience. Keywords are very important for getting new people to your site. One way to know which keywords are most popular is by typing in what your post is about in the Pinterest search bar. That will bring up the most searched words related to your pin.
 *Make sure your Pins are linked back to YOUR website and not someone else’s.
 *Add a Pinterest “Pin It” Button to your website so people can easily pin your posts/pictures/articles
 *Have boards devoted to your business
 *Make sure your pins are 80/20. 80% need to be non business related, and 20% business. That will keep followers from getting bored and help them to engage with you more.
 *Incorporate hashtags to describe your pin and business
 *Aim to have about 10-20 pins put up a day. Have ALL of them go to your website to boost traffic.
 *Follow other people interested in what you are selling, and often they will follow you back.
 *Quality pins are way more important than having a lot of pins.
 *Follow other boards, especially large boards that have a similar interest to the market you are trying to reach
 *Share your Pins to Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. (make sure to shorten the url before posting to Twitter)

Remember it takes time to build a following on any social media account and to start getting sales from it. Be consistent each day and you will get there. One way to get started is set apart a time each day just for Pinterest. That way you won’t forget to do it!

Getting Paid To Share Products

March 27, 2015 | Leave a Comment

One problem many people encounter when trying to work from home, is finding what to do! The most popular option, especially for Mom’s, is working for a direct sales company. But how do you pick one??? My number one suggestion is find a product you LOVE! The key to being successful with this type of job is loving the product you are sharing. That way talking about it does not feel like work, and your passion and love for the product shows. When you love the product, you also will use it all the time and that is the BEST way to share it with others.

Sometimes you do have to shop around and try a few different products. The great things is many companies allow you to sample the products with a money back guarantee if you don’t like them! That way you can find out if this product will be a great fit for you or not. Also make sure and look at your friends and family and see if this is something they might be interested in. You don’t have to share it with them, you can do online parties, go to events, and meet people online who might want to try your product. You have so many options!!!

You can find a company with any type of product!!! There are so many great options!!! Here are some to check out. For more options and information on business opportunities, check out our Work From Home Directory.

For A Love Of Jewelry

February 27, 2015 | 1 Comment

Before having children, I was the QUEEN of accessories. I’m talking at least 5 different pairs of earnings for each color possible, and of course necklaces, bracelets, rings, purses etc to match everything. My friends use to joke and say they need to go shop at “Dana’s Closet” whenever they needed an outfit for a fun event. I might have had a small obsession with shopping haha. Once my oldest son was born, I traded those necklaces for burp clothes. The long dangling earrings were replaced with pearl studs. The fancy purses in all different colors were packed away in place of one diaper bag. It was a whole new world and I loved it!!!! I didn’t miss the accessories as having a babies arms around my neck were far more precious!

Five years later, and now 3 kids, I still wear very few accessories. I learned the hard way that getting your earrings yanked out is not a fun experience haha. Especially since my youngest who is 8 months LOVES pulling on my hair and ears all the time. But I still enjoy having a few pieces of jewelry so when I was approached by one of my friends to try out her bracelets from Origami Owl, I was overjoyed at the opportunity!!!! Bracelets are one item I have found I can get away with and actually they serve a double purpose as they can keep kids entertained too haha!!!

The first thing that impressed me about Origami Owl was how cute all their packaging was! It arrived in adorable little boxes and each piece was separate so I could choose what to use and when. For those who aren’t familiar with Origami Owl, they are a company that has locket based items such as necklaces and bracelets, but they have also expanded and have other great jewelry items! What I love is you can design your own locket and fill it with things special to you. Such as your kids birthstones, or your favorite sports or hobbies. The lockets can be used as a necklace or a bracelet too!

I got the bracelet myself and love it! My friend Liane also sent me a second option, which is great too! I love the wrap bracelet, how fun and stylish it is, and that I have more than one option with how to use it!! I can also get more charms and change them out whenever I want. How cool is that?!?! This is perfect for Moms like myself who love jewelry, but needs items that are kids friendly. Another thought I had is these are GREAT for grandparents too! How fun for a grandmother to get a necklace or bracelet with all her kids birthstones in it! I know I have searched for items like that before and they are hard to find. Especially to find ones that are cute like this and where birthstones can be added as the family grows!

If you are a jewelry lover, I highly suggest giving these cute products a look! Liane is wonderful to chat with and she has a lot of opportunities to help you earn free jewelry, or get started in this business!!! Jewelry is one of those items that people are always going to like, and the compensation plan for this company is very generous! Here are the things I thought were awesome about this companies business plan:

*You earn 30-50% commission on product sales (that’s a high commission which is AWESOME!)

*You get paid weekly on Fridays

*You can host parties online

*You can do events

*You can do home parties (see all these great options?!?!)

*Leaders earn 4%-15% of their team sales (that’s a good bonus!)

*Company is open in United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico

*You can earn your own free products

*Children at the age of 12 can join with their parents. This right here is something I have never seen before and such a fabulous idea! I know when I was a child, I was big into being a business owner and earning money, but there are so few options!! With these, the kids partner with their parent and can make money by creating jewelry!!

These products are not only gorgeous and so much fun, but this is a great way for us busy Moms to make an extra dollar! Please check out Lianes page and let her know if you have any questions. She is so wonderful and VERY helpful! Thanks Liane for these wonderful bracelets and for introducing me to Origami Owl!
