Work at Home Entrepreneur Mentor
in Work and Money
Work at Home Business Owner says...
"If I can do it, so can you!"
With 15+ years in the publishing industry our Principal (Laura Childs) heads up Smartzville, USA. Established since 1997, this small and enterprising company has helped many to give their online business the presence and success most work-at-home entrepreneurs only dream about.
Past Success of Laura Childs
While working with a variety of well known companies in their industry - Know, Inc. (Knowledge Management), Moebius Interactive, Inc. (Online Learning Specialists), Konverge (Custom Software Development), and many others - Laura and her team of professionals designed, restructured, assessed and brought to success, over 80 websites during 1998-2003.
"The internet was growing at an alarming rate, yet somehow we kept up with it..."
In 2003 Laura's personal focus changed - away from designing high profile corporate sites and into more relaxed and engaging sites 'for the people'.
And that's when site usability and visitor-friendly pages became a top priority.
"It was no longer a matter of creating sites that were eye candy. I had to learn how to capture and hold viewer's interest in many markets, and to make each one of those sites turn a profit."
What does all this have to do with you and being a work at home entrepreneur? I'll tell you...
If you're brand new to running an online business...
There is so much an entrepreneur needs to learn about running an online business. Website visitors, potential profit sources, visitor conversion, keyword research, search engine optimization - the list goes on and on.
Thankfully you can learn as your business grows.
On the other hand, if you're creating products or performing services while struggling over all the elements that make an online business a success - it becomes too easy to fall into the majority. The 90% who give up in the first year.
The most important truth I can pass on to anyone new, is this: "Build a website that you would like to visit."
Listen, you don't need formal training or to go through all the headaches I did over the years. You don't need a degree in copywriting or site design. And you certainly don't need to spend thousands of dollars getting your work at home business off the ground.
But you might need a helping hand...
Determine your passion, follow your heart, and create a website that you'd like to visit. If it doesn't work out as planned (you're not making sales or getting website visitors) I've got the hand to help you.
If you already have a website or an online business and it's not turning a profit...
Don't worry. You aren't alone. There are so many people trying everything under the sun to get their website making money - to no avail.
The most recent stats I found stated that 90% of online entrepreneurs give up in the first year.
All you may need is one small suggestion, one unbiased and honest opinion, one helping hand.
Work at Home Entrepreneur Mentorship Program
Whether your online business hasn't gotten off the ground or if it is well established but not earning what you'd like, I can help.
Working together by email, I will evaluate your site, your personal strengths, your competition, and outline a marketing strategy to turn your website into a lucrative work at home business.
Let's make no mistake here. You and I must be in alignment in values and morals in order to be effective. I choose the entrepreneurs I advise and mentor carefully. I also will not perform maintenance, edits, updates or work of any sort on your website. If you need a webmaster you've landed on the wrong page. My assistance stops at evaluation, recommendation training and strategizing.
If you need honest answers and caring help, don't hesitate to drop me a note. My current rates are $100 USD per hour. Average initial assessment, strategy and recommendations run approximately 3 hours.
To your success,
