When I first signed up to Mom Masterminds I was pretty ‘green’ to online business, copywriting, sales process, affiliate marketing and all things online marketing.
I spent my first little while jumping around from business to business:
2006 – Selling Soap:
Alice Seba critiqued this site and it really helped my Copywriting skills (something you can’t really put a $$ amount on).
2006 – Money Making Scents:
I was a member of a candle MLM type business and when I joined Mom Masterminds I asked for advice on how to promote the company and recruit new members to my team online.
When it was said and done at the advice of members at MM I sold my site for $500, not a bad little sum for moving to the next thing.
mid-2006 – Star VA:
This is where things really started to pick up for me.
In 2006 I started my VA business and gained 11 clients in 24 hours and they all came from Mom Masterminds.
The reason I got those clients so fast was that I was willing to work for $5/hr. I know it was crazy but it got me attention and work.
The best thing was it really built a business that allowed me to quit my job and gave me a full time income for almost three years.
I’m doing my best to explain what it’s really like to be a member of Mom Masterminds but the true experience comes from getting in there and being a part of the community.
I have lifelong friends in Mom Masterminds. There are ladies I’ve met in person from the group and there are people I can’t wait to meet one day.
Did I mention the resources?
Oh my goodness, let me see what I can remember:
- Learned how to do Adwords from the videos in the members area
- Learned how to edit sites using Frontpage
- Learned how to start a podcast from the Shoestring Radio resource
- Learned the basics of WordPress setup, installation & customization from Lynette Chandlers Blogging Starter Pack also from the resource area
- Used the Sales Page Builder many times to really understand and ‘get’ copywriting
This is years of learning and those are just some that stand out but everytime there’s a new resource added I either check it out right away or know it’s there later when I need it.
Mom Masterminds offers a free preview so there’s absolutely no obligation to check it out:
Check it out here and I’ll see you on the inside!
I second Angela’s recommendation – Mom Masterminds rocks! The resources there are outstanding!!!
I with you guys. Mom Mastermind is the best place ever. I am so glad I came across this site and I’m apart of it. Angela you really hit home about being a VA. I have been wanting to be one for about 2-3 years now. However, I have been afraid to start and don’t even know where to begin. I am new to the internet world, started blogging in October after I started my maternity leave, and I love it. Now that I am a part of Mom Mastermind my mind goes a hundred miles a minute. I did a little work with Kelly and it really made me realize that I can do this. I can manage my job, my children, and my marriage. My ultimate goal is to become a WAHM and I would love to be a life coach. So being a VA would be a good way to make some extra cash to invest into what I need to become a coach. Anyway, you are an inspiration. Keep up the work.
