Work at Home business - Social Networking are you really effective?

When I first started my online career I was overwhelmed with the amount of learning to be done and the amount of invites received, to so many different wonderful social networks. My mind and my time were blown away.

I spent hours trying to join every group possible to post my information out to the world. I spent more time networking (or what I thought was networking) then I did on my own business. I spent more time trying to be something I just was not at this place in time. I was a square peg trying to fit into the circular world of the big guys! It’s great to have dreams and to think big, but every business needs to go through a series of stepping stones or growing pains. You must get there one step at a time. It is a very long process and after a long six months of this, I am just now feeling a though I finally have a few connections that are really worth having.

Is this you?

What I have learned over time is in order to truly network and make an impression on people you have to narrow it all down. Pick the networks where you really feel a connection, pick those that are truly going to help you in your business pursuits. Narrow the amount you join so that you can participate in each group effectively.

Throwing your business profile up and posting a few comments here and there will let people know you are alive. Will it really bring your business to the level your expecting? NO! How many sales have you truthfully received from sites you do not frequently visit?

People want and need to build a relationship and trust with someone they are going to buy from or refer others too. You must offer them something and they should have something to offer you. Helping each other is the quickest way to grow your contacts and business.

On sites that you participate and feel the connection, do you not have more relational type contacts? Are these not the people, that will refer people to you? Are these not the people that support you when you need something?

Think about what your trying to accomplish, a business name lost in the networking world, or long lasting relationships that over time will bring you customers again and again.

Wahm addicts may or may not be that place for you, we sure hope we are, but everyone has to find their own places to be comfortable and network effectively.

Which scenario are you?

The Social Site That Rises Above the Bad Economy

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE…

The Social Network That Rises Above the Bad Economy

Brooklyn, New York – December 26, 2009 – With the current economic climate being as bad as it is www.wahmaddictssocial.ning.com captures the hearts of many while offering a home, friendship, support and numerous resources to its members.

We all know that this very bad economy has turned people into scrooges this year and not by their own doing. People are very frustrated all around and to make matters even worse the new law that has been passed by George W. Bush this past month, The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 or ("CPSIA") is putting many out of business as well. While we all want our children to be safe, businesses that focus on children 12 years of age and under are at risk. So where does Wahm Addicts Social come into play here? While they can not help with what is happening with the economy and new laws being passed, they do offer a wide array of resources, classes, support, friendship, and so much more that it is capturing the attention of many, and with good reason.

Ellen Levinas, Executive Leader and Krista Clyburn, Owner/Executive Leader, www.wahmaddictssocial.ning.com, are very compassionate when it comes to helping people. Both of their missions in life are to assist people as best as humanely possible, and that is just what they are doing. This particular social Network has risen above the bad economy by offering individuals unparallel support, resources, a home to go to when things are rough, the tools to create even more business, and the opportunity to find new business ventures if they desire, the list is virtually endless.

www.wahmaddictssocial.ning.com has grown practically overnight in leaps and bounds. Yes it is completely free to join, but that is not the reason for its growth and success. The Executive team, team leaders and members alike are dedicated to helping one another in more ways than one. "We are so happy to have such a great group of members amongst us." Both Ellen and Krista said. "We are truly a rarity where we see people actually caring about one another, and helping each other. A very special social network to say the least and we are so proud to share it with everyone." Krista Clyburn, Ellen Levinas, Executive Leaders, www.wahmaddictssocial.ning.com.

Membership does have its privileges, and if someone is looking to join a Social Network with heart, then they will have struck gold with www.wahmaddictsocial.ning.com.

Founded in 2008, Wahm Addicts Social is dedicated to assisting individuals by providing a vast array of resources, tools and more. Membership is free to anyone. More information about Wahm Addicts Social can be found at www.wahmaddictssocial.ning.com.

A review of WAHM Addicts Social Network for Work at Home Women, Men, and Shoppers too

The work at home women and men network is a unique site where work at home women, men and shoppers alike, can meet and connect with one another. The site is full of great people that want to network with other like minded people. Everyone contributes to the site in one way or another. Everyone is so eager to help.

The site is becoming increasingly popular across the internet and is emerging as one of the premier sites to be a part of. With the economy the way it is people are realizing more than ever just how important it is to help one another.

The site features blogs, forums, your own page with your own url, e-mail address, a place to post videos and a place to post your events. There is also a place where one can gain some real world working knowledge of internet marketing. It’s called WAHM Addicts University. One can register for classes and really learn some techniques that will have your business out there and noticed in no time flat.

I really like the WAHM Addict’s mission statement. The WAHM Addicts mission statement reads: To provide women and men a complete business network. We are passionate in helping those who need advice, tips, and direction for their business. We are committed in offering you the best prices on advertising and helping you to seek out free and inexpensive ways to get your names out to the public. We are committed in bringing the public to your business. We are committed in helping you succeed in your business and personal life. This is a mission statement that the site was founded on and lives by.

The site was founded by Krista Clyburn and she is one woman that leads by example. Krista’s executive leadership and extraordinary vision have the site sitting on a solid foundation poised for some awesome growth. This is one site that everyone is proud to be a member of.

Most social sites are a spam fest for lack of better words. Well you won’t find that here at WAHM Addicts. Yes everyone has a business, and yes everyone would like to have you in their business or buy their products but this site is not solely about that. This site is a site where people can truly connect and help one another out.

When was the last time random members of a social site that you belonged to made public blog posts that were solely geared towards helping all the sites members without asking for anything in return? We have some truly dedicated members & leaders that really care about the sites members and the growth of their businesses.

Knowledge and leadership given unconditionally and purely of the heart! That’s what makes WAHM Addicts social site different from all the other social sites out there on the internet.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE...

WAHM Addicts Can Surely Satisfy Your Craving!

Brooklyn, New York – [October 17, 2008] – Wahm Addicts can get you addicted to their new social Networking site by giving its members, comprised of work-at-home mothers, a free Networking forum and resources. Yes there is an addiction!

Owners Krista Clyburn and Jean Tyler have joined forces with Ellen Levinas, owner of www.thesamplebag.com to bring to you Wahm Addicts, www.wahmaddicts.com, a wonderful resource site and their now new social Networking site, http://wahmaddictssocial.ning.com, which is geared completely towards work at home mothers. A Wahm, short for work-at-home mother or mom was always a big part of the Internet world, but now that economy is surely not at its best, we are seeing more and more work at home mothers come into the online environment on an everyday basis. The “Net” is becoming filled with people that are seeking to make an income or an extra income now more than ever. With these three very strong willed women that pack a power house of knowledge and experience, you can be sure that they are doing everything humanely possible to help fulfill the cravings or needs of these new work-at-home mothers, as well as other WAHM’s.

All three women are very experienced in many different business ventures, past or present, whether it be Web site creation, marketing and/or Networking, thus the three heads are better than one effect surely works very well in this particular instance. Krista Clyburn’s true passion is to provide women who work at home, the empowerment, motivation, and desire to succeed in their lives both professionally and personally, as shown by Ms. Clyburn’s first business venture, www.onceuponadiapercake.com, which is a diaper cake and baby gifts business. “If I can succeed from the ground up starting with my fabulous diaper cake business and expand to helping all work at home moms, anyone can, if they light that fire and passion within them.” Krista Clyburn - Executive Leader, www.wahmaddicts.com. “All three of us are work at home mothers, and have been involved in this area for quite some time, we want to help women become the very best that they can be, and we believe that it is totally possible.” Jean Tyler - Executive Leader, www.wahmaddicts.com “It is our hope and goal to be able to provide work-at-home mothers with a safe haven, or home if you will, and to have them belong to a team of women that have the same visions, goals and desires.” Ellen said, “Our social Networking site has definitely flown off the charts with new members, and we will continue to provide them with the resources and assistance that they need and deserve.” Ellen Levinas - Executive Leader, www.wahmaddicts.com, http://wahmaddictssocial.com.

The Wahm Addicts social Networking site is completely free to join, while providing numerous amounts of resources to choose from including discussions, contests, online festivals, teamwork, and so much more. Their slogan says it all, “We Satisfy the Craving” because once you join you do not want to leave, and new members are joining on an everyday basis. While other Social Networking sites might charge you a membership fee for the same thing, Wahm Addicts does not. It works, it’s addicting, and it’s completely free!

Founded in August 2007, Wahm Addicts and its associated websites are geared towards work-at-home mothers and empowerment at its best. More information about Wahm Addicts can be found at http://wahmaddictssocial.ning.com

Do You Have a Craving for...

SUCCESS? If you sincerely have a craving for success then you have surely come to the right place! Wahm Addicts can, and will help YOU succeed, because we are here for you every step of the way, but first, let's define what a WAHM is!

According to a WAHM study, source stated below, this is the definition of a WAHM:

WAHM Defined

April 22nd, 2008

Although its easy to say what WAHM stands for (Work At Home Mom), it’s a little bit harder to define exactly what WAHM means. After searching the Internet for a clear definition, we decided to come up with one of our own. For purposes of this site, a WAHM is the following:

A mom, with children of any age who are dependent on her, who earns some amount of income working at a job in which the primary amount of work time is spent based in the home.

This is definitely a broad statement. It does not stipulate the number of hours the mom has to work or how much she has to make. It also doesn’t require that the mom own her own business (which some other people do require in the definition).

The types of “jobs” that fit into the definition are extremely varied. Examples include moms who telecommute for corporations, moms who run home party businesses, and moms who run whole companies out of their homes. The definition of “WAHM” is only limited by the mom’s imagination.

In the coming months, we will endeavor to flesh out more how others define WAHM.

http://wahmstudy.com/2008/04/22/wahm-defined/

As you most certainly can see the actual "job" description a WAHM is very broad in its nature.

Here is another definition which includes the WAHP, or Work at Home Parent:

A work at home parent is an entrepreneur who works from home and integrates parenting into his or her business activities. They are sometimes referred as WAHM (work at home mom) or WAHD (work at home dad).

Entrepreneurs choose to run businesses from home for a variety of reasons, including lower business expenses, personal health limitations, eliminating commuting or in order to have a more flexible schedule. This flexibility can give an entrepreneur more options when planning tasks, business and non-business, including parenting duties. While some home-based entrepreneurs opt for childcare outside the home, others integrate child rearing into their work day and workspace. The latter are considered work-at-home parents.

Many WAHPs start home-based businesses in order to care for their children while still creating income. The desire to care for one's own children, the incompatibility of a 9-to-5 work day with school hours or sick days, and the expense of childcare prompt many parents to change or leave their job in the workforce in order to be available to their children. Many WAHPs build a business schedule that can be integrated with their parenting duties.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_at_home_parent

So what is the point of all of this you may be wondering. Simple Wahm Addicts, including our Wahm Addicts social site is geared toward the WAHM in all aspects. It is our mission and goal to help YOU succeed, and become the very best that you can be. Not everyone actually knows what a WAHM is, although they could be one! So we are taking it from the top in explaining everything in great detail. There are millions of WAHM's out there just like all of us that want to be part of team, they just do not know where to look.

Are you a WAHM? If you are, do not hesitate to join us! Our Social Networking site is completely free to join, filled with resources, ideas and more coming on a daily basis.

We welcome you to join us!
