It was an easy weekend with our first Halloween party. We were never into such celebrations but this year, our five year old got an invitation and so, we were there to have a little fun while catching up with some friends. These days, I try to refrain from spending too much time in the home office on the weekends and even if I have to, it would be a short moment of checking emails and clearing some stuff. I try in my best ability to be a balanced mom working from home and not wanting to make my child think that work is all that matters.

Of course there were errands to run such as grocery shopping, touching up the home office and even searching forterm life quotes online. Lately, I was preparing for my trip to down under end of this month. I find myself needing some space and I’m craving to be in the outdoors of clean air and serene environment. Living in an urban can be demanding for the mind and body for all women working from home.

So that was my little update for the weekend. I wonder what went on in your home office. I hope you take time to rest, have a coffee with a friend, take a picnic with your family or even just relaxing in your lounge for a good movie.

Many online marketers use article directories to build back links to their websites. When a page has many links back to it it helps to find favor with search engines - a SEO expert will tell you that. An article directory which has a high page rank is the best place to submit articles to as this helps to boost your page’s rank such as Ezinearticles. How it works is that, when people like your articles, they will publish them on their websites and that will grant you (the author) more back links and publicity.

Writing articles is something every work at home mom can do. Having said this, don’t writing a bunch of articles for your home office projects in one day and submit them to a few directories in one day. Doing that can alert Google on your sudden surge of traffic and that may cause your websites to be de-index for a while. Go easy with your submissions.

Last but not least, be careful about using PLR articles for your projects. Make sure you edit them and not copy them exactly as duplicated content is never a good thing in SEO. According to some SEO experts, Google would consider the site which is higher ranking to be the originator of the article and your site’s page rank may suffer. Besides, duplicate articles could be rejected by the article directories and your account can be banned.

Since the whole idea is to build links for your websites, use anchor text that relates to the keywords you are targeting. This will help you attain a better position in the SERP’s (search engine result pages). For instance, if your home office business is on business insurance, then you want to make sure that the keyword is present in your article. But don’t overdo this.

These are some basic tips on article directory submssion for every work at home mom who want their websites to rank well in the worldwide web. If you put in sufficient efforts in article marketing by learning how to write decent quality articles, it will bring in terrific long term results if you don’t give up.

So what exactly is niche marketing? Niche marketing is selling specific products or services to a limited audience. One person with a computer, an internet connection and a good idea can go into business for himself on the Internet and target the people who would be most interested in what he has to sell and do all of the above on a very limited advertising budget.

For example, if you have concocted a shampoo formula that will take chlorine out of a person’s hair, you can’t compete with giant companies that sell shampoo but you can narrow your market down to a niche and target sales to those who have swimming pools. You buy a domain, get a server, and build a website to advertise your product JUST to people who have swimming pools. Or it may be a niche on colon cleanse and you need to target those who are real serious about health issues.

Finding the right niche for what you have to sell isn’t really all that difficult if you are working to earn money from home. Just think about who the people are who would be most interested in what you have to sell.

A mother has a lot of work from home choices, ranging from eBay to selling real estate. Selling products on eBay can become an overwhelming task. Dealing with negative feedback, which can shut down your account. Not supplying shipping insurance and having to store inventory. If you try drop shipping, you might find that it is hard to compete, with the distributors who already sell on eBay. Also, you may like to look at setting up affiliate stores to sell products for a niche of your interest.

The easiest way I have found to make money and work from home, is promoting digital products that really work. They must have a good money back guarantee and they must produce fast results. The money back guarantee should be long enough, to test the product and the email support is essential! Keep in mind, results will vary from person to person, but if you are good with a computer, willing to learn, then you can have success online with hard work and efforts. What is nice about having an online or internet business is that you can take your Outer Banks vacations anytime of the year while still be ‘at work’. Then again, it may be better to balance between work and play too.
