The Pajama Mama Online Employment book may become the Work-At-Home Success Bible-
Publishers are showing an interest in the Pajama Mama book only they
want an ultimate, mother-lode book on every possible way to make money
at home in a job or business, online and off. I'm excited about
the prospect even though a book this size will be 600 pages at least.
Mostly I'm happy that the book project is being considered by
major publishers. Me...The Pajama Mama, working in my little office in
the middle of rural Virginia may soon have a publisher. It goes to show
that if you study, work hard, and keep trying, you can make things
happen.
*****
How to Use WAHS Jobs and News: On occasion I get an email from someone who can't find the jobs posted in this newsletter, so I thought I'd give a quick overview on how to use the ezine. In the section above this one, you'll find the contents of this week's ezine. Each feature now has a link so you can easily find the information you are looking for. Each feature (Notes From Leslie, Tidbits, Jobs, etc) is separated by a color divider which the section contents indicated in the divider. For example, if you scroll down you'll find a blue divider that says, "Tips, Tidbits and Inspiration". Below that section you'll find a green divider that says "Work At Home Jobs".
I also want to point out that the only jobs (employment) listed in this ezine are listed in the Job section. Any other work-at-home opportunities you come across will be affiliate programs, home businesses or work-at-home resources. So if you are hear solely for the jobs, you'll want to stick to the Work-At-Home Job feature.
*****
Quick note
on ads... I
just want to remind readers that Work-At-Home Success does
accept advertising.
Every attempt is made to check ads to make sure they offer legitimate
opportunities. I have refunded or refused ads in the past that were
found to be suspect. The site also feeds ads from Google Adsense. I do try to
screen ads run through this service and block the scams; however, new
ads are added all the time and they rotate making it difficult to always find the duds. If you find an ad that is
questionable, please email me so I can remove it ASAP. Also, while WAHS
runs ads, that doesn't mean it endorses the product or service offered.
To learn more about WAHS's policies, visit WAHS Disclaimer Statement or see special notes below.

Are you Serious about Your Work at Home Business? by Nicole Dean
Are you treating your business like a Fortune 500 Company or like a Yard Sale? Take this quiz to find out.
How would you describe your Office?
a.) Corporate or b.) Chaos
Which word describes you personal appearance while you’re working?
a.) Success or b.) Mess
And, how would you describe your attitude towards your business?
a.) Winner or b.) Winging-it
If you chose only ‘a’ answers, then congratulations! You’re thinking like a Fortune 500 company!
If you chose even one ‘b’ answer, then keep reading…
We oftentimes think “What does it matter what my desk looks like? And, who cares what I look like in front of my computer at home. Nobody can see me.”
Well, it does matter. It matters, because you matter and because your business matters. And, if you treat your business like something of value and take care of it, it’ll take care of you. And why shouldn’t you? Your business is just as important as any Fortune 500 Company. It’s yours and it’s special.
Here are some steps to take today.
1. No more working in chaos.
Make your office a “no toy zone”. Your office is your turf. Protect it. If you have little office helpers, then establish one area that can have toys, perhaps a basket or drawer – and don’t let it spread.
2. No more working in jammies.
You wouldn’t show up to work at IBM or Microsoft in your fuzzy bunny slippers, would you? You don’t need to wear a suit, but simply feeling more professional will lead to more professional results.
3. No more amateur phone message
Review the outgoing message on your answering machine. Does it sound like the office of a professional or like chaos central? Rerecord it to make a good first impression upon clients when they call.
4. No more ‘winging it’.
Begin each day with a list of six jobs that you want to accomplish. If you make the list achievable with small goals, you’ll feel much better about at the end of the day.
Are you ready to treat your business like a valuable Fortune 500 company? I hope you’ll take your first step today towards success.

Top Ten Ways to Lose a Customer by Jill Hart, CWAHM.com
After days of searching online, I found a website that I thought sold the item I needed. Excited, I scoured the website for the price of the product and the payment. Unfortunately, I never found the information. After ten minutes of searching, I gave up.
No matter how many visitors you are able to attract to your website, there are still ways to lose them before making a sale. Below are the top 10 ways to lose a paying customer.
1. Navigation – One of the easiest ways to turn off a website visitor is create a complicated website. If a customer struggles to find their a product, they will more than likely get frustrated and leave the website before they buy.
When I first designed my website I had no idea about design. Looking back, I’m not sure I accomplished pretty and I did not create an easy website to navigate. Much like the one I mentioned earlier, my website was frustrating to visitors.
2. Busyness – The wrong type of website can turn off visitors and repel sales. Create a website designed for your target audience. For example, if you’re selling aromatherapy products, you’ll want a relaxing environment. However, if you’re a life coach you want to pump people up. Your website should be full of life and activity.
3. Sizing – Many websites make the mistake of sizing their design to fit their screen. Unfortunately, the standard resolution that most monitors are sized to (800 x 600) does not always match. When this happens, visitors must scroll not only up and down the page, but left and right as well. To eliminate this frustration, set you width to no more than 800 pixels.
4. Point of Contact – When visitors to your website have a question they want to be able to easily find your contact information. Many websites display their email address, phone number, or a link to their contact information either in their menu or at the top/bottom of their website, which makes it easy to find.
5. Hidden Pricing – Customers want to have all of the necessary information before they make a purchase. Make sure your prices are available up front. When customers have to dig for pricing information, there’s a good chance that they will get frustrated, give up and leave your website.
6. Customer Service – You can set your business apart from all the rest by offering fast, friendly and helpful service to your customers. Try to respond to emails and phone calls within twenty-fours hours. Smile while you type or talk on the phone because your customers will hear the lilt in your voice and respond.
7. Follow-up – If your customer asks a question about a product or service, follow up within 48 hours to see if they have further questions. Many times this follow-up can lead to a sale. Neglecting follow-up can lose you customers.
8. Spam – If you offer a newsletter or other type of mailing list, be careful with what you send to your subscribers. Avoid mailings that look like spam. Choose a template that works for you and that will be recognizable to your readers.
9. Professional Conduct – In the business world it’s important that you’re professional, especially when dealing with difficult clients. It’s imperative to be kind, courteous and take care of business. Refrain from any type of name calling or blame placing. Stand up for your business in a professional manner and treat your customers with respect at all times. Remember the old adage — the customer is always right.
10. Payment Options/Security – Customers want to know that they can trust you with their financial information. Choose a payment provider that offers a secure way to transit orders and credit card information. If possible, offer more than one payment option to give your customers the ability to choose how they will pay.
Creating a website that is customer-friendly isn’t as simple as one might think. There are many aspects to consider and the designer must choose carefully or risk losing sales. Avoid these ten no-no’s and make your website into a successful business venture.
