The #1 Question asked by Work at Home Moms is ...

A few weeks ago, I asked for questions on anything & everything related to working from home. The response was great! Keep the questions coming.

There was a very obvious trend in the questions as I read through them. The #1 most asked question was... (drumroll please)

"HOW do I get traffic to my website?"

Let's get started.

Those of you who have taken or are currently taking my"ShowMomtheMoney 101" course will see some repetition here, but I think it's all good reminders with new ideas added in. You'll hear me get into more depth about topics like article marketing, blogs, contests, press releases , link exchanges, joint promotion among other things.

So, how DO you get visitors to your website? Without traffic, nothing else matters. You won't get sales or leads or income. Traffic makes the online world go round. Right?

There are many ways to get visitors to your website. I'll be sending you a series of messages highlighting my favorite methods.

I'm not going to cover things like posting ads in free classifieds. I'll be sharing the ways I personally get traffic to all my websites as well as paid and free resources that I use and recommend. All legit stuff that actually works. There's no siver bullet -- and anyone who tells you otherwise is either mistaken or lying.

I'm going to focus on what I consider the more effective methods. It may be scary to step outside the comfort zone of posting ads, but you'll be so glad you did. And, no, I'm not saying posting ads is wrong, but you need a well-rounded approach to marketing your website for the best results.

In the meantime, if you'd like to get a head start, here's a freee book that I enjoyed. It's not really filled with "secrets" like it says, but it does have lots of good ideas.

Keep those questions coming.

Here's an exerpt from an article I recently wrote for the WC -

Life is Boring in that Bubble

From Seinfeld -
Jerry: He's a bubble boy.
George: A bubble boy?!
Susan: What's a bubble boy?!
Jerry: He lives in a bubble!
George: BOY!

When I consider everything good that’s happened in my life, it’s all been due to taking risks. When you look at your dreams, do they require you to sometimes be uncomfortable? To stretch outside of your safe zone – outside of your ‘bubble’? Absolutely!

Do you want to hear a confession?

The first few times Kelly McCausey asked me to be on WAHMTalkRadio.com, I made excuses! I tried to hide in my bubble….

“I have Boy Scouts that night.”
“I’m not feeling well.”

BAWK! BAWK! I was terrified to record with her. I admired her so much and didn’t want to make a fool out of myself.

After this happened a few times, I was getting embarrassed. My friend Annette Yen and I dared each other to do one thing we were scared to do. She promised to write an article and I agreed to go on Kelly’s show. We shoved each other out of our bubbles. Now, Annette is an article-writing machine – and Kelly can’t get rid of me!

Consider one of the biggest risks in life – parenthood. If we had been too scared to take the chance to become Moms, think of everything we’d be missing.

Yes, it caused considerable agony at times.

Being naked in a room of doctors? NOT fun.
Dealing with a screaming baby in an airplane? Absolutely awkward.
Driving your 4 year old to the emergency room with a broken leg? Downright terrifying.

The rewards of parenthood? Priceless. Thank God for risks and rewards.

Your business is the same way. Yes, it’s hard to reach out and to take risks, but that’s where the payoff is.

Think about it.

I hope that this year brings you rewards and joy beyond anything you can imagine. Dream big and set your goals high.

You deserve every happiness.
