For most of us moms, who, by choice, stay at home to care for our children, life doesn't end being homemakers. God created us with talents and capabilities unique to ourselves. We should continue to live our calling despite motherhood.
That's why the internet is a very popular way to involve ourselves into. Even if it doesn't make us money, we still continue to utilize its use. The internet gives us the channel to improve, develop, and learn new ways.
There are many areas where we can make money through the internet, though we must be wary of scams. How to know? Read thoroughly and skeptically. Ask questions. Research on the internet. Make the most out of Google. It is always the case that if something sounds too good, then it is not true.
Mothers know that caring for their kids on their own is the most ideal way to bring up a child. And it is. Helping out in the finances come second. If you are a single mom, just like the case of Holly Mann, author of Honest Riches, and to whom this blog is inspired by, then you really should be committed. Being a work-at-home-mom is not without its difficulty but if you start out right, then you will avoid the pain of wasting your time and money.
Do not underestimate the power of education. If you are educated enough on what you want to do, then you will succeed. Yes, you will. There is a Holly Mann to prove that.

Top of Google
Today, I searched the Hollymannia blog and was surprised to see that it is now on the top page of Google using the keyword Holly Mann.
Creating this blog back in December, it took eight months for it to reach the top. This would have been exciting if I have also been on top of the game (of internet marketing). But I'm not, right now. I'm just re-starting all over again. It puzzles me though that MSN and Yahoo do not index it as high as Google. I'm wondering if it's because this is a Blogger blog and as we all know, Blogger is owned by Google.
But I could not complain. I should be thankful, and I am.
This blog is proof that what Holly Mann said in it's ebook, Honest Riches is true: you have to put as many keywords in your site as you can so the search engines would pick it. That's what I did in the beginning of this blog. But as you see, it took a lot of posts and writing before it happened. I don't really know exactly when this blog reached the top. But I'm sure it is on the eighth month -- which is now.
This is one effort rewarded in my internet marketing endeavor and it gives me reason to go on.

Back to Internet Marketing
Today, I resolved to read Holly Mann's ebook, Honest Riches all over again. I want to rekindle my passion on internet marketing. As a mom taking care of an 18-month old, the only recourse for me to develop my skills and be financially productive is through the internet. The internet is right in my home, 24-hours a day, and it's just there for the taking -- as soon and as long as the needs of my child are met.
So, I'm coming back. This time, I will really put my mind into it. It's not that I didn't last time. It's just that my eyes were just set on the prize and not the process. I think, too,that did not read Holly Mann's eBook word by word. Though I took Honest Riches to heart, I did not take it to mind. I mean, I need more skills; more knowledge. This time, I'll take my emotion out of it. I'll do it by the book and see what happens.

Gap
I don't know about you but I haven't been active with all my internet endeavors for over a month now. There has been a long gap between me posting anything substantial to this blog. More often, I just write things that do not make any sense with internet marketing. I've been into other things and been planning of moving on to something real and tangible.
But I'm not giving up the Holly Mann blog for any reason. I have this started and I will hold on to it. Anyway, it doesn't cost anything to maintain a blog. Maybe just your time.
I often say to myself, words are cheap and blog is free. But actually, they are both free and words are not cheap. Words come with a price and they can cost you a lot if you are not careful with them. That's why there are these terms called libel and slander -- journalism jargons that are household terms. Sometimes, people misuse these words not understanding the fact they can really be complicated and difficult to establish.
Anyway, my point is, I will continue this blog for as long as I could. I'm heading to a different direction at this point in time in my life. But still, I may change my mind. As Judge Judy says, women change their minds -- that's what they do. For that, I have the prerogative to go to any direction at any time as I see fit.
