Potty Training

Much of my business now consists of helping parents across the globe with potty training. The website is an established one being around for several years. The book has been revised and I am currently working to revise it as well as adding two new ones for parents with children who have developmental delays as well as parents of multiples.

Every week I send emails out filled with Potty training Tips that come directly from the e-book.

I also have an affiliate program that pays 50% commissions for every book sold. This is coordinated through Clickbank.com.

There is also an established blog: http://pottytrainingsite.blogspot.com

Currently I am looking for three families preparing to potty train their child to review the website, blog and the book all for free. This offer is good through June 1st, 2009.

All you have to do is send me an email HERE requesting the Free Offer.

Jeep

I Love my Jeep Cherokee. It is the first vehicle I have been happy with since I was 16. Even my kids love her. In fact, we have affectionately named her Princess (Of the Mud). There has been a lot of work done on her to be reliable transportation.

Even before I did some minor modifications I was taking her off roading. A few months after buying her my best friend put a 3" lift on for me. Six months after I got her in Lakeland, Florida off Ebay I put in another motor from a 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee I bought from my uncle. I also put on Maxxis Buckshot Mudders.

Another six months later for a belated birthday present I got rock rails also known as rock sliders. 

My next goal: A locker.

Stress

As a single mom of three kids and a full time college student I am prone to stress. 

What I have learned in the past three years from mentors, a life coach, counselor and the pastor of my church is that I have to take care of myself first and foremost. Otherwise I will not be able to take care of anyone especially my kids.

December 2006 taught me a lesson I won't soon forget. I had been feeling ill off and on for a few weeks including my Asthma bothering me. I started to feel like I had the flu so I was taking an over the counter Flu medication. For a short time it would relieve my aching. A friend of mine had a spare inhaler she gave me which also helped. I kept pushing along for a couple of days until my oldest daughter started complaining of a bad sore throat and then my middle child complaining of his ear hurting. Since it was a Saturday I decided to take us all straight to the Emergency Room.

For hours we sat in the waiting room. Actually, I started laying down with my kids and by myself. There were so many people in the waiting area. Finally we get called and sent to a triage room. Eight hours after we arrived my daughter was diagnosed with Strep Throat and my son had a bad ear infection. As for me, I had double pneumonia. 

My mom and step dad were too involved with taking care of my sisters kids to come up and get my oldest two. Luckily the youngest was still at his dads for a visit. The doctor and nurse were pleading with me not to leave the hospital. In fact, they had an EMT come in offering to take my kids to a neighbors who was willing to take care of them for a few days. 

I finally convinced them I was willing to sign the AMA papers, get their meds, clothes, email my professors (last week of semester and finals) and take them to a neighbors and I would come right back within an hour. They were not completely happy but they understood I had to do what I had to do.

Within an hour I was back at the hospital and for four days I laid up in the hospital with countless other people who had pneumonia. Breathing treatments, IV, shots to keep me from getting blood clots were routine. The worst part about the entire stay was that there was No shower or bath! The first thing I did when I got home was take a shower.

Stress can kill. More than anything though it affects everyone around you. They can easily pick up your vibes. Allow others to help you when they offer. Ask for help because many people won't offer and want you to ask.

Make money online

With the economy the way it is and classified ads in newspapers falling short of most peoples expectations, making money online is the wave of the future.

Most people by now are surfing the internet everyday. They are looking for bargains to buy the things they want or need as well as those who are looking to supplement their income or just to make money and stay at home.

I am looking for some seriously motivated people who want to make money. It does take some effort and yes, it does require selling. However, you have access to a catalog and to the internet so you can show your customers the products. These are everyday products such as ecofriendly household cleaning products, cosmetics, health and nutrition products and more. The company has been in business since 1992.

Here are just some of the questions you may be asking:

1)Q: Is there a cost?

A: No. All I am looking for are some people willing to get these great products out there while helping themselves.

2)Q: How will I get paid?

A: You can be paid by PayPal which is recommended because it will be instant. I can also mail a check to you.

3)Q: How do I earn money?

A: Since this is a sales position you will be paid based on a commission. Each product you sell is priced in the catalog and website at retail cost. You will be paid the difference between the wholesale and retail cost. Each product has a variable difference. You can earn anywhere from $2.50 to $100 for each product you sell. It is up to you to push the products.

4)Q: Do I have to go door to door in order to sell the products?

A: No you don't. I recommend you show it to your family and friends. In fact, I recommend hosting parties. Encourage your friends and family to have parties as well. The more people you show the products to and get them to buy, the more money you will earn. Also, the more people who order at the same time, the cheaper their total cost will be. If you do one big order there is just one shipping cost as well as sales tax. 

5)Q: Do I have to work directly for you or can I go out on my own?

A: You can work with me which I recommend in order for you to see if this is what you like to do. If so we can work together to help get you going on your own.

6)Q: What payment options can I accept for sales?

A: I recommend payments be made either through PayPal or Personal check. Cash is too risky and with the recommended payment options you have a receipt for payment. I do recommend using the sales receipt sheets I will mail with the getting started packet.

7)Q: How often will I get paid?

A: I want to get you paid as quickly as possible. Once I receive payment for the order(s) I will calculate up the products retail costs and subtract the wholesale costs. If you chose the pay by PayPal option I will PayPal your money within 24 hours. If you choose to be paid by check I will mail it to you within 1 business day.  

8)Q: Do I have to collect any sales tax or shipping costs?

A: Yes you do. As I mentioned in another question the bigger the order the less each person will have to pay with shipping costs. Tax is based on what your state is charging. Each time I place an order to the company I get charged tax.

9) What is the turn around with orders?

A: The quicker I receive the order and payment the quicker it will get shipped out to you.  To make it quicker and easier each person who works with me will be a preferred customer so the orders will be shipped directly to you.

10) Q: Are there any bonuses to this sales job opportunity?

A: Yes! Since you will be listed as a preferred customer, every product you sell you earn points from the company. These points are great towards getting products for free which means you make even more money.

For example: You have earned enough points to get 2 free laundry detergents. Your neighbor wants to order the laundry detergent and a friend also wants to order one. They pay the retail price for the laundry detergents, thus you have earned $21 instead of the usual $2.50 for each sale ($5).  

11)Q: Okay, this all sounds great and everything so how do I know you are legitimate? 

A: I have refrences available upon request. I also have an office located on an established,state accredited community college campus in my hometown in their small business incubator. I have been in this office for almost 1 yr now and I have established a presence in the building.  Once you request the getting started packet I will include my personal cell phone number, direct email I check multiple times on a daily basis, business and personal mailing addresses, and fax number. Below you can also follow me on Twitter and Facebook.

12)Q: I still feel a little leary about this though I want to try it out. Is that possible?

A: Absolutely! I recommend trying it out to see if this is for you. This is a great way to earn some money from a real home business. You have the opportunity to supplement your income or just work at home. You create your hours.
