Looking for Inexpensive and Quality Outsourcing? Hire a WAHM
Work at home moms (WAHM) make up a huge portion of service providers online.
Because they work from home themselves, WAHMs know what it's like to build a business on a tight budget.
This is the perfect scenario and a win-win for both parties.
The moms need the work and you need someone committed to your business who is reliable and understands your situation.
What types of things can these work at home moms do? The talents of these ladies are endless actually, but here is a nice size list to give you an idea of the types of things you can hire a WAHM for: Virtual Assistants - VAs provide a variety of services and many specialize in certain areas.
You can find a virtual assistant who handles customer service, writes, and creates audio and video material and tons more.
Many get paid hourly for their services, but are well worth more than their hourly rate.
Technical Gurus - From HTML to software creation there are tons of moms who love the techie side of things.
Blog Installations & Maintenance - This is a growing service with the emergence of WordPress especially.
You can find WAHMs who specialize in not only installing your blog but even managing your content too.
Ghostwriters - From articles to eBooks and everything in between there are tons of moms who have turned their love of writing into a business.
Transcriptionists - Many moms build an entire business around transcribing audio for website owners.
If you're looking for someone to transcribe a report, podcast or interview, look for a WAHM transcriptionist.
Editors and Proofreaders - Tired of looking over every single word your ghostwriter sends you? Hire a mom to do it for you! Affiliate Managers - The services of some affiliate managers can cost a fortune.
From recruiting and training affiliates to paying them and creating tools and resources for your affiliates, there's probably a WAHM who can do it for less than the big dogs and do it well too! Copywriters - It's no secret that many online business owners don't write their own copy, but if you think paying a professional copywriter is cheap think again.
Some charge in the thousands just for one sales page.
Save some money and hire a WAHM copywriter instead.
Press & Media Specialists - If you're looking to get your business noticed you'll need some PR.
There are mom business owners who focus their efforts on just that.
From press releases to social media outlets, these ladies can get you noticed by the right people.
As with anyone you consider outsourcing to, do your research before hiring a WAHM.
There are unfortunately a few bad apples out there so ask around in your circle of friends and business partners for their recommendations.
I'll be willing to bet that many of those you associate with have worked with or currently work with at least one work at home mom service provider.
