My name is Angie Nelson. That’s my smiling mug up there in the header. There was a time where I was probably right where you are now. I’d had enough of the cubicle farm, and I was going to find a way to escape. Jumping to another corporate job wasn’t going to make me happy. I wanted to be in control of my future. I needed to get out of the office politics. I started a hunt to learn how to make money from home legitimately and for the long run. I read and researched and read some more and finally decided starting my online business was the way to go. I started my Virtual Assistant business in 2007.
After receiving a number of emails from people each week asking me how to start their own business or if I was hiring, I started blogging about my home business journey as a one-stop shop for those seeking help.
As a business owner, time is money. I loved blogging. But if I was going to be able to continue with it, I needed to find a way for it to produce an income. And that is where blogging and owning a home business combine. You don’t have to choose one or the other. Blogging is a great way to generate a second income to get you through those ebbs and flows of being a service provider. That is why you will find information on both home business and blogging here on The Work at Home Wife.
Whether you are looking for home business ideas, marketing information or how to earn an income from blogging, you will find it here. I aim to provide valuable information about how to make money from home, valuable tools of the trade and how to reach those goals that will provide you will the means to earn a living online without having to live online.
What you will also find out is that I can be terribly frugal (cheap). I bootstrapped my business, and I was a bootstrapper when it came to blogging. Sure, I earn a good income online now. But, I am still careful with what I reinvest in my business. You could easily spend every cent you will make online buying up unnecessary tools.
That doesn’t mean you won’t need or want tools as you go along. There are some fabulous things out there that can boost your bottom line. The recommendations you will find here are ones I use myself and that I find save me time or make me money. Those are the two most important reasons for owning your own business. Right? You will also find most are well within a bootstrapper’s budget.
I invite you to join me as my journey continues. Every moment of working at home is a learning process. The online world changes daily. I try to keep my readers up to date.
I’m always open to your questions or concerns. If I don’t know the answer, I likely know someone who does. Never be afraid to ask.
