Mompreneur Expert: Internet Gives Options To Out Of Work Women
Men make up 82% of the recession’s job losses, which means countless women are out there looking for work to make up for the lost paycheck.
The problem is it’s almost impossible to find a job right now, so for many women their only hope is to get a home-based business up and running as quickly as possible. The internet provides these women with endless options and increased flexibility.
Kim DeYoung, an entrepreneur, business coach and the founder of Metromom.com, believes that having a website is now a necessity for every entrepreneur – even the mom working part-time in her basement. She is passionate about providing women with tools and training to make the extra money they desperately need.
DeYoung found herself in the same situation as thousands of other women when her husband was laid-off five months ago. She took a proactive stance and stepped up her commitment to her business and the various internet marketing options available to her.
Kim understands and explains the challenge facing work-at-home moms, “Most women I speak with are overwhelmed with the internet – they’ve heard about great tools like blogs, Twitter, Facebook, podcasts, and YouTube but don’t know where to start. They don’t want to waste time on things that won’t have a direct impact on their bottom line.” Due to the monumentally increased financial pressure on moms, these women need help figuring out how to use the internet to generate an income quickly.

Breath.
Mom’s are MORE than equipped to create a website; after all, they’ve created life!
The problem I see is that they want to do it all; and all at one time.
Start small. Create a site at Microsoft Office Live fore free and play around with the program for a year or so.
OR find a hosting company that also provides a “Build a Website” or “Site Builder” process. It makes adding pages to a website and adding content a breeze — becuase the built in “content managment” system looks just like a Microsoft Office file.
OR have a web designer build a site for you; and add Contribute or Drupal to it; again because that program can help you look like an MS document.

And finally, remember that when you need to learn a new thing; what you’re learning is 200 new words and their definitions.
Moms are MORE than prepared for that!
