Interview with a Work at Home Mom, Interview 2
August 06, 2007 by
This is the second interview in my series on WAHM's. Shiloah is a Mom of seven children that she also home schools. You have to admire Shiloah's dedication to her family.
How long have you been a WAHM?
My entire married life. I chose to stay at home with my children and have always done things to make money at home such as babysitting, MLM home business, and now my own
business.
Tell me about your business?
My business is designed to support homemakers and share ideas needed to maintain a home and family. It is mostly articles on a website. I also feature eBooks, a free newsletter, and a Deluxe Edition. The Deluxe Edition contains over 817 articles in areas such as recipes, crafts, holiday ideas, taking care of yourself, family ideas, marriage help, and more.
What inspired you to start your work-at-home business?
I was a new homemaker with lots of ambition and interest in my new passion. I did lots of searching online. This was around 1997 that were very few places to find homemaking ideas or inspiration. I decided that it was because I needed to do it! I could combine my passion (home and family) into helping and encouraging women around the globe and they could in turn share and enrich my life.
What did you do before becoming a WAHM?
I was a manager at McDonalds and going to college.
How many children do you have at home and what are their ages?
There are seven: 11, 9, 8, 6, 4, 2, 6 months
How do you juggle family and your online business?
I never let the business run me! God and family are first, everything else comes second. If I keep to that mentality it is never a difficulty.
You also home school your 7 children, how do you manage to do all this?
My children are taught responsibility at an early age. Everyone helps. We have a great chore system, an organized home, and everyone knows what is expected of him/her. We have our down days, but for the most part, our home and school run fairly well!
Where and how do you advertise and promote your work at home business?

I decided it would be interesting to talk to some of these hard working Moms and find out they got these businesses going and how they manage working at home and being a parent and homemaker. I have interviewed some Moms and here is the first Mom in my series of interviews.

Unfortunately there are so many scams out there that was only the tip of the iceberg. The best advice I can give is to use common sense. If someone is telling you that you will make $10,000 a month, shut the door in there face.
