It is sad that they try to scam moms. We are not asking for things to lose money. Who thinks that a mom can really afford to lose money. All we ever want is to make a little extra. Once you find that opportunity, then it makes it easier to make that little extra. I like to help show moms that they can make a little to a lot extra. It depends on how much time you are will to put towards a business or how long you are willing to let your business grow. Most people do not understand that a business needs time to grow to see that yes you can make money with it.

A business is not an overnight success or overnight miracle money maker. It does take some hard work to get it going and once it is, then you can treat it as a part time or full time business.

I agree, it feels like moms are being targeted because most people think "stay at home moms" are home all day and have a lot of time to devote to a business. While I don't think is true, this is a common perception.

I had the same problem with the tons of emails and even though I did unsubscribe from them, some of them honored my request, some didn't. I think, if anything, it confimed that my email address was a real one. I delete those first before reading my important ones. Otherwise my whole day would be spent on those and my computer is very slow as it is, lol.

Hi Herb,
still way too many. As I said, about 50 a day or so. And I do notice that it takes me a long time to go through the mails, taking time away from doing more important things like working on my business and social networking like on What's This Web Thing, to meet more people and generate traffic to my sites.

Hi Petra...how much email do you get?

I don't think that only we are targeted. The thing is, once you start looking on the internet for "work at home" or "make money online", you start signing up to lists and stuff because you think you can get great information, and after a while it usually gets a bit out of hand because you get bombarded with offers and new programs etc.
I get about 50 new emails a day right now, I have to do some serious unsubscribing!
What you shouldn't do is get suckered in into reading every single email and trying out everything that's out there. You end up working every free minute on your email inbox instead of creating an income online.
I have done a few posts on my blog on Information overload and productivity, if you are interested.

Does anyone feel that WAHM's get targeted by scammers? There seems to be a lot of hype directed toward moms. Most of us are just trying to find a good opportunity to supplement the family income.
