Note from Anita:

I've learned an important lesson about myself in the past two weeks. If
I'm not super-busy to the point that I feel as though I'm way behind in
my business ... I'm not happy. You've never heard me say busy is good,
have you? I can honestly say I've been that happy-go-super-busy person
I like so much in the past couple of weeks.

First of all, last time I told you to keep your eyes open to an
upcoming unique and fun way to help you get your website seen. If you haven't
seen it yet, check out http://www.OneMillionWahms.com and find out how
you can join our march to link up One Million Work at Home Moms.

In our next issue I'll have another project to announce that I've been
working on. In the meantime though, I'm looking for a few good
"newbies" to help me out. If you're new to working online, please email me at
mommyshelperonline@yahoo.com (and I promise ... it won't c0st you a
cent!) There's a little something in it for the both of us Wink

Till next time...

Note from Kara:

Over the past two weeks, I've become completely hooked on Etsy. If
you've never heard of Etsy, it's similar to eBay, except it allowes only
handmade items to be posted. No ebooks, no mass manufactured products, no
junk. A unique idea for sure, and I've been having fun listing candles.
You can see our store at:
http://prairiesoy.etsy.com/

In addition to adding listing and working on the candle site (which by
the way, I added two new pages), I've also been working on Idea Queen.
I saw a slight dip in visitors in between tomatoe season and apple
season. My problem? I didn't have enough back to school pages. Hoping the
problem has been fixed now for next year, although I'll be working on
more "any time" pages which will hopefully fill in the gaps for months to
come.

Until next time!

Do You Know Your Business?
While it's really common sense, some need to be reminded - know the
business you are representing before you try to sell.

It doesn't matter if you are talking about direct sales, information
websites, or selling your own product. Before jumping head first into
sales, you need to know your industry and market before pitching to
others.

Bargain Clothes Shopping
Kids grow out of clothes faster than we can buy them. If you are lucky,
you have family and friends who pass down clothes. Some aren't so lucky
though.

Idea Queen has made a list of some ideas for bargain clothes shopping
for those of you who have no choice but to buy clothes for your kids.
Make sure your kids have a nice closet full without breaking the bank!

Say What?

My three-year old son hasn't quite grasped the English language yet. I
never know what new word or phrase he's going to come up with.
