A Listing of Business Resources for the Work at Home Mom
Having been a work at home mom (aka wahm) for 5 years now I've used and researched a lot of products and services for my business. I have seen countless times on message boards and emails where a wahm is looking for a particular product or service to help her business...so I thought "Hey, I should put a listing of all the resources a wahm might need all in one place so it's easy to find". And the great thing about this resource list is that you, the work at home mom (or dad!), can add to the list and vote on which service or product is your favorite. How cool (and handy) is that?!
I will be adding new categories and links as often as possible. Feel free to add your favorite links and to vote for your favorite link. If you have an idea for a new category please leave a comment in the guestbook. Also, please note, I do not mind if you add an affiliate link if, and ONLY IF, you have used the product or service and truly believe it's of value to the WAHM. I will remove links that are deemed to be spam. To add links you need to have a Squidoo account...if you do not want an account you can email me the link to bstanden@shaw.ca and I will add them to the site. Thanks!

- for some reason it won't let me add a website to the tools section. http://www.websitepromotionjournal.com helps you to keep track of your sites, keywords for those sites, and your link in sites, so that you can go up in the search engine ranks.
