Generating Income from home

I’ve always been an advocate of stay at home moms or dads. I understand it is not always possible for one parent to stay at home with their child, and with such a high rate of single parents, it is almost impossible.

But, now with the Internet there are amazing new opportunities for the stay at home parent, who would like (or needs) to generate some income. I would have loved some of these programs when I was a young, stay at home mom.

Actually, I was a stay at home mom who worked from home, because I had my own business. When my children were a little older, I had an office downtown (in the small mountain village where we were living). Across the street was the elementary school, and next door was the Montessori Nursery School. Our son was in the elementary school, so after school he could walk to my office, and my daughter was next door at the nursery school. Not only could I walk next door to get her, I could look out my office window and watch her play. For the time, it was a great compromise.

For those stay at home parents, and even for those who simply wish to work from home and avoid long commutes and high gas prices, check out http://www.workplacelikehome.com . It is a great site with loads of valuable information, cutting through the scams and spam.

P.S. - And yes, I understand that parents who stay home to raise a family are working, even if they aren't generating income from that job!
