Stay At Home, Mom: Even if You're Single!
()
About this ebook
Being a stay at home mom (SAHM) is a challenge in this 2-income world. For the single parent it can seem almost impossible. How in Heaven's name can one be at home with the kids and still pay the bills?
Thanks to modern technology and a global workplace it is not only possible, it isn't very hard to do. Except for a brief job I took out of boredom I have worked from home since 2008. I have supported my daughter as a single stay at home mother with passive income (I’ll explain this term in a bit) from my blog and book sales alone for over a year now. Before that I supported us through freelance work, telecommuting positions and even a computer repair business.
These days I don't really have to work; I take days and sometimes weeks off to enjoy the weather or to hang out with my kid. Once I removed the necessity to work it became enjoyable so now I write because I love what I do.
Anyone can do this; it doesn't take any special skills or education. I have little more than a high school diploma myself. Regardless of your education level YOU can do this too! You actually have an edge over your fellow parents. How? You are reading this book. That demonstrates that you have a strong desire to improve your life and that you are willing to learn, grow and do what it takes to make it happen.
Within these pages you will find the same method I used to become a single stay at home mom with an income that arrives every month whether I do anything or not. I know that your personality and situation may be different so I am going to offer some options for you to consider but the focus of this book will be on the area that I know best; that of selling information.
Inside you will find:

Note:
This book is not just about moms; it is about anyone raising a family who wants to spend more time with them. I refer to moms in this book because they are the largest demographic that currently raise children solo but this book can also be used by couples, single dads, grandparents, or anyone else interested in working from home.
I have written a number of other books that may make your dream of becoming a stay at home mom even easier. Rather than overwhelm you with information, I refer to these books where appropriate.

Dedication
To the children who wish their working parents were able to be at home for them. I hope this helps your dream come true.
