I'm a work at home mom in Lincoln, CA and a few friends of mine and I have recently started a local networking group for moms with all different home based businesses. Any suggestions of ways to find other WAHMs in the area? What are helpful trainings that we could provide to moms regardless of type of business?

I would think that recruiting women to be work at home moms would be a start. I, for one, would love to work at home, but would have no idea where to start or if a company was legit.

Also, create a facebook account for already existing WAHMs. By people suggesting friends, etc, you could build a large base. Also, a blog would likely be helpful. What about asking on here if there are other WAHMs in your area? Send out fliers with contact info on it.

- Good luck - you are fortunate to be able to work from home. I envy you!

I would also suggest looking in to Cafe Mom. You can set up a group that is local and can specify. I recently found a group in my area and it has been really cool meeting these ladies for coffee, play times etc.

What a great idea. A group with home based businesses would be great. I am a work at home mom with Scentsy wickless candles. A facebook group of WAHM's would be great, but I'm not sure how you would confine it to your area. Love the idea!

I would use Meetup.com and see if there's much interest. I'm a WAHM, but I'm in a professional field, so my interests are a bit different from those selling makeup or candles (I don't host parties or need to recruit new people into the business, for instance). I would define the goal for the group -- is it to sell your services/products to other WAHMs, share business strategies, discuss telecommuting challenges or create a way for WAHMs to connect around our busy work schedules and meet other moms?

Good luck!

I think that is such a great idea. There is so much stuff out there to sort through. I love this site too. I want to promote my own way of making money on the side without taking any time away from my son. A few months ago I joined a group and it is working. It isn't fast but it is growing and steady. I enter car tags into a database. Then I tell others about it. That's it. No products, no services to sell. I can write them down with my 15 month old in the car. A completely legit company (I did research) has created a way to store information to help find missing children and those who have stolen cars or failed to make their payments. If even one child is found, I am so glad to be a part of it. I have already received multiple checks. I told 3 friends, then they told and so on. Yes, like multi-level or Arbonne, only no products or services. Just 10 tags a month. I'm almost to my 4th level of people. Once you reach 5 levels, it is $4,500 a month. Please feel free to call me on my cell, you can sign up from anywhere around the country. This isn't a junk response, I really am a Mom on here that loves to talk to other Moms, you can read all about my posts as I've been on here for a while. Call me, A., at ###-###-####. My Web site is amcglothlin.narcthatcar.com I will also check out some of the sites on this post!
