Summary: The journey of work-at-home moms is filled with opportunities and challenges. Laila's story exemplifies how determination and the right resources can transform a stay-at-home mom into a successful web entrepreneur. From selling pickle recipes online to planning her next venture, Laila's experience highlights the potential of web businesses for moms seeking a balance between work and family life.
"Web business is contagious," Laila says with a mischievous glint in her eyes. I couldn't agree more. Her next venture involves launching another informational website to share her extensive marketing knowledge.
If it weren't for Laila, I wouldn't have discovered that mango pickle can also have a bitter taste. I enjoy bitter-sweet pickles, so this revelation was a triumph for me. I persuaded her to start her pickle business online. Laila wasn't your typical homemaker idling away her time. She worked confidently in a multinational corporation (MNC) until she decided to dedicate herself full-time to her one-year-old daughter's needs. That was a year ago. Now that her toddler is more comfortable at a nearby play school, Laila finds herself with ample spare time she doesn't want to waste. I asked if she would consider joining the growing community of work-at-home moms. She was more than willing but preferred to proceed with caution.
Laila had observed work-at-home moms engaged in mundane tasks like taking calls, filling envelopes, managing small business cash flows, and selling unremarkable items. She didn't want to do any of these. "They are too ordinary for my liking," she would say. That's when I suggested she read the highly acclaimed e-book for work-at-home moms, WAHM IT! The Masters Course.
Not long after, I received an enthusiastic call from Laila. When we met, she was bubbling with excitement. She thanked me profusely, saying the e-book was a real eye-opener. Although she was already an avid internet user, she hadn't considered starting a web business from home. WAHM IT! had dramatically changed her perspective. After repeatedly reading Michelle Schill's success story, Laila felt she could also become a successful web business owner without neglecting her daily home chores. After all, her mother had been a successful work-at-home mom selling homemade pickles during her childhood. Ah, pickles! A great idea for a web business, Laila thought.
But Laila didn't want to sell pickles. "Why not sell the recipes?" I suggested. Soon, Laila launched her first web business focused on pickle recipes. As a busy work-at-home mom, she dedicated whatever time she could to improving her web business. Success began to trickle in as her website visitors wanted to know more about the pickles she wrote about. Even better, they were willing to pay for the information. Laila realized it was time to monetize her web business efforts.
Laila isn't stopping here. "Web business is contagious," she says with a sly twinkle in her eyes. I couldn't agree more. Her next plan is to launch another informational website to share her marketing knowledge. Before leaving her job, Laila was a senior marketing executive in the MNC, so marketing insights are well within her grasp. She continues to praise the "WAHM IT!" e-book (and me, of course!) because it helped her make her mark as a work-at-home mom. Wouldn't you agree?
Laila's journey from a corporate job to a successful work-at-home mom is a testament to the potential of web businesses. With the right resources and determination, work-at-home moms can achieve remarkable success while balancing their family responsibilities. The rise of remote work and the increasing number of women-owned businesses highlight the growing opportunities for moms to thrive in the digital age.

Would You Copy Or Write Yourself?
I've often wondered what it is like for other content writers. Do they get their desired 'dues' writing for others? I say so because though there's a wide acknowledgement that unique readable content does matter for better ranking at SERPs, the reality is content writers still do not cut much ice. One reason may be that there are already enough contents available on the net, making it easy for new website owners to copy-paste them as it suits. You may feel I’m skeptical. But I know this is true from my experience.
Would You Blog? But Of Course!
There are many reasons why you should blog. For some it's a pleasure, for others a necessity. Whatever it may be, it's a fact that blogs are gradually taking the shape of mainstream media. Which means if you can really hit it well, there is every chance of your recognition allover.
