10 Work at Home Moms to Pay Attention To
One of the best ways to grow as a work at home mom is to learn from other wahms who have already been where you are. I don`t mean you should follow in their footsteps exactly, but why not learn from someone who already has the experience and who has made the mistakes you want to avoid? With that in mind, I`ve put together this list of work at home moms that you really should pay attention to if you`re looking to grow your business.
1. Wendy Piersall of Sparkplugging. I love Wendy. She`s real, down to earth and just an awesome woman all round. And on top of that, she`s also a great work at home mom who has built up a mini-empire based on home business. Her blog network (formerly known as eMoms) is a very important resource for anyone looking to work at home.

2. Lorna Brewer and Tamara Berry of Freelance Parent. Technically TWO moms, these ladies are two of the nicest work at home moms you`ll meet and they are dead set on sharing their journey as freelance writers with the world. Not only are we blog buddies, but they`ve actually given me work, which was much appreciated and I can tell you that they are great to work with. These two women have steadily built up their writing business over the past year and a bit and are sharing their success and mistakes as they go.

3. Kelly McCausey of WAHM 2.0. Kelly has been running online businesses for a while now and has an incredible wealth of information to share. She does this through several venues, including WAHM 2.0. I know her best from Twitter and MomMasterminds, myself. If you`re looking for some guidance on starting your own online business, Kelly is one of the most helpful women I`ve met.

4. Alice Seba of Internet Marketing Sweetie. Alice really is a sweetie. A wahm with three little ones, she never seems to stop. But she isn`t just about raking in cash, this mom is all about helping other work at home moms become successful. I can`t tell you how many times she`s given away some seriously top end products for no particular reason . . . just to help other women. She`s also a great source of home business information and even if you aren`t getting any of her products for free, they are well worth the price, I assure you!

5. Lynette Chandler of Tech-based Marketing. I “met” Lynette through MomMasterminds where she is always available to offer her technical expertise. A self-proclaimed nerd, this mom is making a living off her skills. What really impresses me about her, like many of the other work at home moms on this list is that Lynette is so open and willing to help other women.

6. Jackie of Internet Marketing Strategy for Beginners. Whether you have an online or offline business, Jackie can help you out. She`s open on her blog about how she earns money and as a Giant Squid on Squidoo, she has a lot of advice to offer on everything from affiliate marketing to linkbuilding.Her site also has some great info on keyword research, something every wahm online needs to know about.

7. Angela Wills of Marketer’s Mojo Talk Radio. Yet another mom from MomMasterminds (are you seeing a trend here?), Angela has a ton of resources on her site, including information on how to become a Virtual Assistent and lots of marketing tips. I highly recommend listening to her online radio show when you have the chance, it`s not just her, but also interviews with other successful women.

8. Lynn Terry of ClickNewz. Lynn is also an internet marketing expert and something of a guru in the field. She`s worked with big names like Ed Dale of the Thirty Day Challenge, but is well established in her own right. If you are at all interested in marketing online or learning more about affiliate marketing, I suggest you pop over to her site to learn more.

9. Naomi Dunford of IttyBiz. This woman is awesome. Her business blog is far from G-rated, but full of nuggets of wisdom. I actually interviewed her in the early days of At Home Mom and have followed her blog since then. She`s funny, rude, and an incredible business woman . . . her marketing advice is definitely something to pay attention to.

10. Deborah Ng of Freelance Writing Jobs. I read Deb`s blog every day, since it is the most useful freelance writing site that I`ve found. She`s recently expanded and now has a small blog network that is jam-packed with information for anyone interested in freelance writing, including a daily job roundup. Some of my best writing jobs have been found through her blog, so I definitely recommend checking it out.
