Why I Started The Work at Home Woman<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since the day my daughter was born, I\u2019ve been a stay-at-home mom. But after a few months of play-dates, mommy and me classes, and a dwindling bank account, I felt the urge to make some money and exercise my brain. So I looked online for different work at home opportunities, but most of my time was spent weeding through scams and sifting through the onslaught of information to find what I really needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I continued looking for online work, I told a friend about my dilemma of finding a position that was flexible, legitimate, and paid well, and she suggested I start a blog. I had always enjoyed writing and dreamed of one day writing a novel; however, I never considered blogging as a career option. In fact, my previous job experience was in nursing! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To fund my blogging business, I started freelancing part-time. For 15 months, I researched ideas, wrote content, and hired a graphic designer to set up my blog for me. In March 2009, I launched The Work at Home Woman to help others who, like me, wanted to make money from home on their own terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Am I Qualified to Teach You? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Through my unconventional career path of holding over 30 jobs and obtaining two college degrees (a Bachelor’s Degree in Cultural Anthropology and an Associate’s Degree in Nursing), I’ve been able to figure out how to find a career path that you’re truly passionate about, and I love sharing this knowledge with others!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been working from home since 2007 and know how to find legitimate work from home jobs and business opportunities. The Work at Home Woman has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau<\/a>, and you can read reviews<\/a> from real-life job seekers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of sharing my career expertise with big-name publications like CNN<\/a>, Forbes<\/a>, MoneyTalksNews<\/a>, Woman\u2019s Day Magazine<\/a>, Real Simple<\/a>, and many others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of the content on The Work at Home Woman is researched and written by real writers who are successfully working from home. The Work at Home Woman does not use AI-generated content; however, we do use AI tools for editing purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a personal note, I live in Austin, Texas, with my husband, Jeff, our daughter, Hadley, and our cat, Love. My passions include reading, blogging, traveling, and doing yoga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
