An Interview with a WAHM

Interview With:

Mom's Name Vannie Ryanes
Mom's Business Spices Plus Biz
Url
http://www.spicesplus.biz

Q. Mom, what is your business? Tell us a little bit about it.
A. My business is Watkins. I am an Independent Associate for Watkins products.
My Spices Plus Biz virtual magazine is for WAHM's and also for woman who want
to make the transition from working outside of the home to working at home. SPB
has recipes, mom space, helpful links, a really great consumer awareness section
and a full page explaining the Watkins home business opportunity. It gives full details,
the cost to sign up, etc. so women will know before hand exactly what they will
receive upon becoming an independent associate. I have been an associate for
about 6 or 7 years now. I built Spices Plus Biz E-Zine after I went on line is 2
years ago.

Q. How long has this business been around?

A. Watkins has been selling products for about 135 years and still going strong.

Q. Are you happy with your business or is there something different you
would like to do or add to your business?

A. I am extremely happy with my business. I like the products and use them myself.
I would love to add open market or craft show selling for my products.

Q. How do you feel your business can benefit others?
A. I feel that others can benefit from becoming a Watkins associate because the
products are excellent. The start up cost is very low, there are no quotas, stockpiling
or territories. These are products you can sell to neighbors. Watkins flavors are sought
after and people search for their liniments and salves. You won't get rich overnight
with Watkins but you can have extra money to bank, have nice vacations or start a
college savings because generally our customers remain loyal year after year. And
they tell their friends.


Q. Do you feel like your business is a success in your eyes. Is this the
business that truly makes you happy?

A. I do feel that I am a success. Every time someone asks 'Do you still sell Watkins?"
and I answer yes. They respond with a 'Great, I need...." and give me an order. I don't
think I would ever give up being a Watkins lady. I love what I do, it does truly make me happy.

Q. What advice can you give to other moms that want to work from home?
A.
Working from home takes dedication and some structure. Whether you are good at
crafting, cooking or whatever you decide to market, you must be willing to put some
time into it to make it a business. You have to put in extra time to make it a good and
profitable one. If you are not all that creative, direct marketing may be for you. It is
presently a $75 billion dollar industry. You see on TV that actor's and actress's have
jumped on board but people like us can benefit as well. Whether you decide to become
a Watkins associate or work with another business, Avon, etc. be ready to make it a
real business by getting business cards to pass out, keep catalogs in your car or a larg
e handbag. And use the product.

Work @ Home Article

10 Tips for Writing Better Articles
by Darlene Deere Bishop

Writing articles and submitting them to ezine publishers and webmasters for reprint
has proven to be my number one business marketing tactic. And it costs nothing
except my time!

Granted, I'm a professional writer who has been writing for nearly 20 years. I've
been published in a number of print magazines and newspapers, and have been
paid well for my writing. But you don't have to be a professional to write for the
Web!

Writing for the Internet is much more casual and less rigid than writing for print.
Most anyone with a basic understanding of English can craft helpful, readable
content for use in ezines and on Websites. Here are some things to keep in mind
as you do so...

1. Keep your sentences and paragraphs short. Readers, especially online, like small
"bytes" of information. Don't "choke" them with too much at once.

2. Don't fill your page too full, either. White space makes for a visually short, quick
read and time is certainly a high-priced commodity in today's world. Someone scanning
the page to decide if it's worth his/her time will be much more likely to read your article
if s/he sees plenty of white space surrounding the words.

3. Bulleted paragraphs provide a quick outline that will attract the reader's eye to the
most important points you want to make. Bullet points are also easy to scan and make
for quick reading by breaking up the copy in smaller pieces.

4. Numbering your paragraphs is another way to break up the page. Be sure you number
your paragraphs when your title demands it, as in "10 Tips for Writing Better Articles."

5. Proofread carefully! This is crucial when writing anything - for online publishing or print.
As a novice writer, no one expects you to know the proper placement of every comma
(few professionals would), but you ARE expected to do your best to eliminate spelling
errors and blatant mistakes in your writing.

6. Don't overdo the punctuation. It's better to use too few exclamation marks (!), asterisks
(*) or UPPERCASE letters than to use too many. Let the strength of your statements be in
the words you choose.

7. Decide what you want to say BEFORE you start to write! I've found myself many times
writing an article with no idea of how it should end, only to write a full page and give up in
frustration because I didn't know what I wanted to say. Don't waste your time sitting down
to write until you know what where your writing is headed.

8. With that said, keep in mind the well-known maxim about making a speech that says,
"Tell them what you're going to tell them; Tell them; Tell them what you told them." The
same format works well for an article.

Give a short summary of what the article is about, give the "meat" of the article, then
recap the main points for emphasis. You'll have a concise, well-targeted read that focuses
on what you intended to say.

9. Along the same lines, stick to your topic throughout your article. Don't try to write about
more than one thing in one article. Stay on target and save the off-topic information for
the next time.

10. Don't talk down to your readers! Share the information or tips you know, and share them
well. But do so without giving the impression that you believe yourself to be an expert on the
subject. Allow your readers to make that judgment for themselves. If what you've written is
worthwhile, they'll appreciate your honesty and humility, and will eagerly await your next article.

Writing for the Internet is different than writing for print, but it needn't be more difficult. And
it's a tremendous tool for increasing exposure for your Website or products online.
