I have been dabbling in different ventures on an off for about 3 years now and I figured I would share with world what I found works and doesn’t work. I’m no expert, just a regular girl from South trying to be a stay at home mom.

I will tell you that I do make enough, FINALLY, every month to compensate for what I would make at a regular 40 hour a week job. This pleases me and my family because it is also eliminates a $1000 a month daycare bill. (Sound familiar)

In beginning, which is probably where you are now, I worked my regular job and then came home and did more work for another 4 or 5 hours every night trying different things.

That is how I started and it was grueling. There is no magic wand and work is work, regardless of where and how it is done. Working from home is no different.

There are several main goals to achieve to make a decent living from home.

You know how it goes.

You put up a web page and throw in some stock.

Your page begets another and another and another until one day you’re looking at a site that’s got more stock than Bloomingdales.

But you can’t stop…

The old sourcing skills are making a comeback, sharpening their talons, and coaxing you to duck and dive, bob and weave to find still more stock at even better prices.

So you build another virtual retail store and then another and another and another until you’re looking at an empire.

Then you diversify.

If you are upmarket, you go downmarket.

Why not?

There no shareholders breathing down your neck or smart ass vice presidents demanding that you pull in reins.

And so you build a bargain basement store and another and another until you’re looking at Wal-Mart.
