United WAHM Alliance a much needed resource
It's been awhile since I added anything to this blog. I do have some very exciting news to share. Let me first explain why I even ventured into creating yet another website. My friend and I have been with a group for some time and talking about some of the rules that didn't make sense to us got us thinking. We're partnering to create a niche business for the work at home Mom's. A business that took 2 years of research.
Anyway, the past few months have been pretty frustrating for the both of us. We created an ebook and allowed other work at home Mom's to advertise in it. However, this ebook was to be given away for free. When this ebook was completed, we wanted to allow other work at home Mom's to give this away for free on their website. Thinking that this group we were both in advertises that they help Mom's in business we should post a message in the group. I also noticed months before that my messages weren't being approved so I asked my friend and partner to send a message through. Her message wasn't approved. It was a very simple message stating that she had an ebook that others can give away from their website. No name of the ebook, not even a description or a link was provided. Her message did not get approved!
She was told that it was against the rule to advertise an ebook that had advertisement of other websites. There was no way of for them to know what was contained in this ebook nor away to find out if there was even advertisement. But, it was denied on this basis.
Emails went back and forth with my friend and the owner of this group. Final decision the ebook could not be given away even though it was revealed that 95% of the ads belonged to members of this group.
The idea of United WAHM Alliance was borne from this frustration and of course as I research our niche business I also found that many Work at Home resources for Mom's were missing one or more thing. I guess we've been on-line long enough to know that it was time to do something about this.
United WAHM Alliance is starting out with two groups. One is Google Groups and one in Yahoo Groups, of course both is just to help generate membership.
Our Groups allow for advertising on Mondays Only. Yes, a bit restrictive however, members can submit one ad message per type of ad on Mondays. So, if a member has several websites, have different types of sales, these ads can be submitted on Mondays with a message per type of advertisement.
It's pretty much like most wahm groups, lol . . possible, lol . . read on . .
Our group members can add their numerous website links to our Member's Directory as well as submit their Member Profile to be added to our Member Showcase. This is just the beginning member benefits for membership within our groups.
The groups are just the tip of the iceberg.
The main featue of United WAHM Alliance will be our website! It will provide more information and resource than any other WAHM site on-line. Information is key to helping one succeed with business especially on-line. We plan to provide 4+ topics each month with each topic containing 30+ articles, topics are niche businesses, family oriented, health and fitness and more! This article repository will grow each month as new topics are added each containing 30+ articles.
We will also create bulletin boards for every possible type of networking needed. Yes, we plan to allow our members to dictate what type of bulletin boards they will need and created as needed. Member's will also be able to request for private boards. We have creatively made it possible for certain bulletin boards to be available to our non-member visitors, this will help our members gain exposure to certain aspects of their business to everyone that visits the website.
What else will we provide, an ebook repository. We have several hundreds that members will be able to download for free. We also have webmaster tools and business tools that members will be able to download and keep for free. We will also put up ebooks & tools that our members can purchase at a discount to resell and make money with. A library filled with copy and paste scripts for website development.
A Classified Ad section to inclue garage sales and bartering. Auction Site for our members. Chat Room for holding virtual on-line home parties and more!
We will also provide discount on Advertisement in our Network of websites, we own more than a dozen at last count. We will also partner with other WAHM websites to help provide more venues for affordable advertisements for our members.
Monthly Awards will feature not one but as many members as we have websites. All winners will be featured on the homepages of our network of websites as well as in an on-line virtual magazine that is sent out on a monthly basis to over 500+ subscribers. We also create ebooks so when one is in the process of being made we will feature yet again another member to be added into the new ebook creation.
United WAHM Alliance is truly dedicated to providing the needs of work at home Mom's and any Mom wishing to become a work at home Mom.
Is it free? The groups are free to join, we however require a link on each member's website or in an email signature.
The website membership, that won't be free. Yikes, you say! Well, we are not an organization and we are not claiming non-profit. This is a business but we do promise to provide what we say we will provide. How many wahm site's out there will provide Member Profile's where the member tells us what to put down in a full page profile? This allows each of our members to add links to each of their on-line business for free exposure!
How much do you think you'd pay to gain 24 hour access 7 days a week to a growing library of information on your type of niche business or any other type of niche business? How much would you pay to learn how to create your own website? How much would you pay to purchase all the free ebooks, web tools and business tools that we will provide for free? Do other wahm websites provide this? Well, some do provide a few of what we will be offering our members, but what they cannot provide is the multitude of exposure and resources that United WAHM Alliance will provide.
So how much will it cost? We're not quite sure yet, lol . .sorry we do know one thing! As work at home Mom's ourselves we know that many Mom's do not have a budget and when we feel we find something that will be worth the money we shell out it better be affordable and worth every penny or more or we won't let go of our money. The membership fee will be between $25 - $50 per year. We're not quite sure yet if we plan to do yearly subscriptions or monthly. We will however, offer a 7 day free trial. This is the tentavie introductory pricing that we're thinking of. This pricing of course will increase as resource increases, meaning our expense for keeping the site going.
Our group members will of course receive a discount and of course from our groups we will find our Founding Members.
Are you curious yet? Stay tuned for more news on United WAHM Alliance or just visit the developing website to see what is slowly taking shape. If you want to get more information about the development of our website you may want to join our Group. If you are interested in becoming a crucial part of this website your group membership will allow you to apply for the Founding Members positions. It will be limited and we will screen applicants to make sure that each of our founding members will indeed share our view of providing valuable time and resources to help build and grow each of our member's businesses.
