Notes from Leslie
Are you a mom who wants to stay or work at home? Moms At Home Success has been moved and changed to offer helpful hints, tips and tools for moms. You can check it out here.
Here’s one from the home front. I’m trying to expand my writing career to include magazine articles. I submitted an essay this week to a major news magazine and after hitting the submit button, I realized I had an error in the magazine’s name. Of all the writing no-no’s, that’s got to be the biggest!
WAHS Challenge: I’m challenging readers to take steps to earn money using a free blog with a topic of your choice and the free Adsense program. While you do need to invest your time, using a blog and Adsense is an affordable way to set up a money making system online. Here’s how to participate:
1) Read the WAHS Challenge Post and follow the steps outlined there.
2) Contact WAHS and let me know the URL (website address) of your blog. I will list it on a special WAHS Challenge page at Work-At-Home Success (free advertising) and in a special blogroll at WAHS Blog.
3) Stick with your blog for 6 months (November 2008) and share your results with WAHS.
I’m looking at offering some prizes….that will be announced later!
Work-At-Home Tips, Tools and Inspiration
Make the Leap to Home Business Success
By Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy
If you are going to have a successful home business, you need 3 “intangibles.” These are things that must come from WITHIN you.
===> Intangible 1 <===
First, you must have a strong WHY.
Why MUST you have a successful home business? What is driving you? What is it that you CAN’T have in your life anymore and/or what is it that you absolutely MUST HAVE now?
For me, I couldn’t stand working 12+ hours a day anymore and missing the experience of my children growing up. I also absolutely HAD TO HAVE the freedom of being able to control my life and finances through a little box (laptop computer) that I could carry with me anywhere in the world and not be tied to anyone’s time pressures or demands but my own. That was my carrot and my stick. I felt a great pain deep in my gut of missing out on my children’s lives and the incredible freedom that succeeding in a home business would provide for me. I found my why. You MUST find yours.

Marketing Your Business
Marketing With Squidoo - Spotlight Your Successes For Traffic
By Angela Booth
In these tough times, the traffic and sales generated from your business’s Web site can make the difference between a healthy profit and a mass of red in the company accounts.
Unfortunately, if you’ve just created a Web site, you’ve left your run a little late. Web sites take time to index, and to start appearing for searches in the major search engines. A Web site which went live a year ago for example, should now start appearing in the search engine results’ pages.
Here’s a little tip which has worked wonders for my marketing clients, resulting in getting their new sites indexed in double-quick time: use Squidoo. Currently Squidoo has a PageRank of 7, so a link from Squidoo to your site ensures that your site is spidered.
The brainchild of consummate marketer Seth Godin, Squidoo is free advertising for your business. Google likes Squidoo, and you’ll see Squidoo lenses ranking well for some highly popular and desirable keywords.
Squidoo lenses do well on Google, so a collection of lenses can drag your new Web site into the Google index if the site is new, and can bring you traffic if your site’s established.
Most businesses are still clueless about Squidoo, so you should be able to build a presence there easily.
Here’s how to market with Squidoo:
1. Create a lens for your company
You can create a Squidoo lens for anything at all. (A page on Squidoo is called a “lens”.) Start by creating a lens about your company, and link it to your site, of course.
Build the lens over time. A tiny lens that you create and forget will get you no results. Make your lens useful, and your lens will get traffic, and so will your Web site.
The term “lens” is a clue which tells you that each lens you create must be sharply focused - focus your company lens on what your company does for your customers, from the customers’ point of view. Provide information, rather than trying to sell on your lenses.
Create a white paper or report, and offer it on your lens for free, in return for visitors’ email addresses giving you permission to stay in touch with them.
Tip: do a search for your competitors on Squidoo. You may be surprised that some already have Squidoo lenses. If not, congratulate yourself on your own prescience, and build your lenses.
2. Create a lens for each product
A single lens is just a page, so create a lens for each product you sell, or service you provide. Again, ensure that these lenses are informational, rather than simple advertising. Your goal is to capture your audience, and send them to your site, where you can do all the selling you want to do.
Post audio files and videos to your lenses: make each lens as interactive, and information-rich as possible.
3. Staff spotlight - have each member of staff create their own lens
Encourage your staff to create lenses too. The more lenses aimed at your site, the more traffic you will generate for the site.
Staff could create lenses in their own area of interest, linking back to your site. Lenses are meant to be fun, so give staff their head: let them be creative.

How to Use WAHS Jobs and News: On occasion I get an email from someone who can’t find the jobs posted in this newsletter, so I thought I’d give a quick overview on how to use the ezine. Each feature is marked by a header describing it. The jobs are under the header that says “Work-At-Home Jobs”. Any other opportunities listed elsewhere in the newsletter will be affiliate programs, home
businesses or work-at-home resources. So if you are hear solely for the jobs, you’ll want to stick to the Work-At-Home Job feature.
Important Reminders:
If you share an email account with someone, please let them know you have subscribed to this ezine. It is a double opt-in newsletter yet some seem to wonder how they got on the list. It’s usually because
someone who shares the account subscribed but didn’t let others know.
Spam filters can filter out the email you want so be sure to set your filters to accept email from workathomesuccess.com.
Many jobs and other links in this newsletter are set to open in new browsers. Some pop-up blockers prevent these windows from opening. Turn your blocker’s to “off” or set your blocker protection to
accept this webpage’s opening of a new browser window.
Quick note on ads: I just want to remind readers that Work-At-Home Success does accept advertising. Every attempt is made to check ads to make sure they offer legitimate opportunities. I have refunded or refused ads in the past that were found to be suspect. The site also feeds ads from
Google Adsense. I do try to screen ads run through this service and block the scams; however, new ads are added all the time and they rotate making it difficult to always find the duds. If you find an ad
that is questionable, please email me so I can remove it ASAP. Also, while WAHS runs ads, that doesn’t mean it endorses the product or service offered.
Disclaimer: Work-At-Home Success is a free website and ezine providing information and resources to people who want to work at home in a home business or job. Work-At-Home Success does receive compensation through advertising as well as affiliate programs. While every attempt is made to insure the quality and legitimacy of offers, listing here does NOT constitute an endorsement by Work-At-Home Success unless otherwise stated. You are encouraged to research any product or program you see here. Further, Work-At-Home Success and Leslie Truex make no guarantees that you will work from home. If you have questions about the site, newsletter or this disclaimer, contact Leslie.
Advertising Policy: Work-At-Home Success is committed to helping small and home based businesses by offering affordable advertising on the website and in the ezine. However, Work-At-Home Success does reserve the right to refuse advertising. Ad that will not be accepted include those that involve known scams or questionable work-at-home programs such as envelope stuffing and assembly work. Other ads that will be refused include jobs that require fees (it is understood that home businesses may require an investment), programs with a history of complaints on consumer
protection sites, or other programs WAHS feels are in contradiction to legitimate work-at-home opportunities. Further, Work-At-Home Success will not send ads that suggest they are personally from WAHS or endorsed by WAHS. Any program that WAHS endorses or recommends will be clearly identified.
