Moneymaking Moms: How Work at Home Can Work for You

I looked at them all, but no book addressed the issues of a mother working from home as well as Moneymaking Moms. I recently left a fulltime job to be home with my 2 children Ryan and Sydney, although we struggle somewhat financially I know we made the right decision. Moneymaking Moms helped me conclude that by taking their quiz "How much does your job cost?" It was a real eyeopener. The step by step manner and the realistic approach to handling a business and family is very helpful and the warm manner in which the authors approach the reader is much appreciated. This book is the "What to Expect if You're Expecting" book for owning a home business. You wouldn't want to be caught without it. Thank you Caroline Hull and Tanya Wallace, you will undoubtedly turn many moms into Moneymaking Moms.

I like Moneymaking Moms because it took me step by step through what I found an intimidating process - deciding what to do, how to do it, etc. It also spoke to me as a "mom" - I'm working from home because I want to spend more time with my kids rather than less, and this is one of the few books I've found that actually talks about working from home in those terms. I also found the Marketing section invaluable. This is one area I have no experience in at all and I felt like the authors held my hand and walked me through the basics. I think this is an excellent book for moms who want to spend more time with their kids, but need an income in order to do that.

I found this book incredibly helpful because it simplifies the process of going into business into logical steps that are easy to follow. I bought the book because I wanted to find a way to be home with my children, and I really appreciate the emphasis on combining mothering and business roles. I especially liked the way the authors incorporated real-life "moneymaking moms" and their individual experiences into the book because those personal stories helped to inspire and motivate me! Any mom who wants to make money at home will benefit from this practical book, and find another mom in its pages she can relate to.

I bought a copy of Moneymaking Moms three weeks ago on the recommendation of a friend who really liked it. I can see why! I have worked through the first two phases of the book, completed the checklists, and my new business is now up and running! I had been thinking about starting my own business for ages but before reading Moneymaking Moms I hadn't had the courage to actually get started. This book is written in such a way that it gives you confidence to move forward. Now I feel that I have a blueprint for home-based business success and can find strategies in the book to help me cope with three young children and a business at home. I am so thrilled that I have finally been able to take the plunge, and grateful to the authors that they have given the rest of us a manual to work from.

I found this book to be more useful than I had anticipated! I have been researching to start a home business in the near future, and I am real glad that I read this book first. It gave me better insight to pricing my products, it gave me some more tools for advertising on a budget, and many other ideas that either backed me up on my business assumptions or pushed me along with more ideas that I hadn't thought of yet. I have already folded the corners of certain pages that I know I will go back to over and over again as I begin and run my business. This will truly be used as a reference book in my home office!
