From the Author
Moneymaking Moms - a complete recipe for home business success!
Take a great idea, add a pinch of careful planning, a generous helping of time management, a handful of ripe marketing ideas and you may just be the proud creator of a successful home-based business!

Moneymaking Moms is a practical step-by-step guide that tackles the countless issues a work-at home-mom is likely to face. It will help you keep your entrepreneurial efforts on track, and be a faithful ally when the going gets rough. Time management tricks, proven marketing ideas, and tips for running a first class operation are all included in this invaluable tool.

Moneymaking Moms is a tribute to home-based working moms everywhere. We (the authors!) have both worked from home for the past ten years and experienced most of the challenges and problems unique to this workstyle. With the help of 29 other moms in the book, we have covered all types of home-based business situations, ranging from how to choose the right business to dealing with problem customers to knowing whether it's time to expand. Other real-life issues such as staying motivated, setting pricing, devising a marketing plan and how to cope with a less than enthusiastic spouse are handled with positive solutions and tips.

We wrote Moneymaking Moms with the busy mom in mind , and especially for mothers yearning to spend less time away from their children. We hope it will help you develop your own recipe for success as you manage the juggling act we call motherhood.

Customer Reviews

This is the BEST book for mothers who want to work at home!
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.

A great resource for stay-at-home moms who need an income
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.

A perfect home-based business companion for moms
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.
