It is very important to be comfortable online when working from home in this day and age. You can meet people that are local to you or anywhere around the world depending on where you network!
Find the places that will help you to meet the people that you want and need to meet!
Having profiles online helps you in a number of ways. It puts your "shingle" out so that people see you. It helps people to see if they want to know you better. It helps the SEO (being found on search engines like google) of your website that is mentioned on the profiles.
Fill out your profiles and always include a photo. Don't leave blanks in your profile, and go back and update them as you add to your expertise and learn more about how to describe yourself and your business.
I am not recommending that you do any profile upgrades unless you want to. You will get major benefits by using the free profiles and meeting people on the sites.
It is important to decide if you are an "open networker" or if you are going to be more selective in your connections. In building a business, consider being open. You never know who will be a great referral source, or a new friend. If you are not used to a lot of emails and announcements, you might want to get a new gmail account for networking sites so that you do not have a flood in your regular email account.
I am giving you my link to each of the sites so that you can start by connecting to me and have your first friend on the sites.
Important sites to start with:
1. Linkedin.com my page is http://www.linkedin.com/in/sallykwitt - I will write additional posts to teach you about using the different aspects of the site. You can ask people that know you to write references for you.
2. Facebook business page my page is http://www.facebook.com/pages/A-REAL-and-profitable-opportunity/125620737513110 Facebook is one of the biggest and busiest websites now. Make sure that you are seen there.
3. Visible.me used to be naymz http://visible.me/sallykwitt- get people that know you to write referrals for you.
4. Twitter.com Very important to get your word out! http://www.twitter.com/sallykwitt
5. My Linking Power Forum A wonderful place run by my good friend Vincent Wright. You will meet other people that love to connect and network. http://mylinkingpowerforum.ning.com/profile/SallyKWitt
6. CafeMom is a great place to share with other women and mothers. This might be a good fit for you. http://www.cafemom.com/home/sallykwitt
Make sure and join groups available on the sites, and be brave - get your message and your personality out there.
Ask about other people and what they do. Remember them to give referrals when appropriate, and ask them to do the same.
Networking online is a great way to build your business.

7 Tips for Working at Home for People with Disabilities

I am very passionate about helping people to overcome their hesitations on working and making a living from home. I have been home with physical problems and depression for over 3 years, and want to help others to feel proud and to give themselves an income during the difficult economic times.
Some things to think about while planning to work online:
1. Be honest with yourself and about your abilities, and what you can do. Itemize your strengths and skills. List the things that you might need help with.
2. Do you need a partner or an assistant? It may be that you need someone to drive your mail to the post office, or make phone calls for you, or type into the computer. What do you need, and how realistic is it for you to work with them. How will you pay them, or share the income?
3. Do you need any adaptive tools? I need headphones to hear well on the phone, and use an online phone to make that an easy solution for me. Do you need anything to help you see the screen better? There are so many adaptive devices now for computers, phones, and more.
4. Do you network online, or are you shy? Find the groups that you are comfortable in to get started, and move on from there as you build up your confidence. Everyone is just a few degrees away from someone with a disability of some kind. We are everywhere, and you should be welcomed.
5. Be creative. Whatever business you decide to do online, take advantage of the many free and low cost options to market yourself and your products or services. There is something to learn every day.
6. Don't spend a lot of money signing up for everything! Find a mentor, a group, or a team that will help you with ideas and tools to be successful. You don't have to waste a lot of money in order to make money.
7. Be proud of yourself and your products and services. Find something that makes you happy, and you will be successful!
I am always happy to discuss social media and marketing with people that want to work online, and to encourage them. If you or someone you know needs encouragement to work through their limitations, let me know!
Have a great day!
Sally Witt
I will coach you to make a great PT/FT income from home! No charge for training and coaching if you sign up for the business on our team!

Are you or someone that you care about disabled in any way, and frustrated about

I have been disabled for a long time. I struggled with my health, and kept working under great stress longer than I should have. I ended up not being able to do anything for more than 3 years.
I am still smart, I still have a lot of skills, but I don't know how I am going to feel in a few hours, or tomorrow.
I know that there are a LOT of people out there like me. We want to work, even if we are on disability programs, but our bodies and/or emotions are not up to the daily stress of a "job".
If you want to work, use the internet, can talk on the phone to answer prospects questions (or have assisted devices to help you with that), then you can build an online business with a great professional company that teaches you how to make it work.
My husband and I have found a way that working together as a team in a work at home business can be satisfying and is very healthy for me. YOU TOO can feel proud to work at your own pace, and work 5-10 hours or more a week from home.
You can build up a great business, learn the most efficient ways to be successful for very little monthly cost.
At the same time you will have access to hundreds of dollars of discounts a month!
If this sounds like it might be a good fit for you, and you become a member of our team, we will personally coach you to success at no charge to you. Training and the tools that you need are included with your affordable business program.
You can find the right balance to work on your career, and to work on your health at the same time while honoring your limitations.
