All moms should have the opportunity to stay at home with their children if they choose to do so. Mothers are the key in building their children's future, and the more time they have at home, the more opportunities they have to educate their children and teach them family morals and togetherness.

 


Free WAHM Classifieds

The classifieds section was made to help mothers advertise their home business products. Typically, advertising can add more overhead than a small business can afford. The intention of the classifieds section is to provide a free advertising medium and also to attract all types of mothers, not just WAHMs. Networking is more successful if the circle of friends continually grows.

Self Employed Persons and Home Business

" About one-third of persons who usually worked at home in May 2004 were self-employed. Of the 7.0 million self-employed persons who worked at home, two-thirds had a home-based business--that is, a business run from their home and no other location. Nearly half of self-employed persons with a home-based business worked at least 8 hours per week at home, and almost 22 percent put in 35 hours or more at home. On average, self- employed persons with a home-based business worked 25 hours per week at home. (See tables 1 and 5.) About 45 percent of self-employed persons with home-based businesses were in management, professional, and related occupations in May 2004. Sixteen percent were employed in sales and related occupations. On an industry basis, about 1 in 4 self-employed persons with a home-based business worked in professional and business services. Some 18 percent of persons with a home-based business were employed in the construction industry."
