The industrial revolution and feminist movement saw many changes in the work place. Women left the home to work along side men. Women fought for equal rights and equal salaries. Now, however, some women want to also enjoy their role as a mother during the fleeting years of their children's youth. For decades, a woman has had to choose a satisfying career or a family, and often the choices did not coincide gracefully.

Gone are the days, though, when a woman had to kiss her family life goodbye in pursuit of a career. Thanks to online businesses and at home marketing schemes, women can be successful bread winners and still witness the first steps, ballet classes, and play groups that ask for so short a period of time.

Work at home moms have a lot of resources at their disposal. The Internet is the number one most effective tool for work at home moms. Successful women who work from home know how to utilize the Internet and make it work for them.

The Internet provides a source of communication and networking to stay at home moms. This tool connects them and offers them a forum in which to discuss their challenges and struggles, as well as to offer one another support and helpful ideas.

The Internet is also a source of business. This virtual community is a marketplace where the exchange of information and ideas is also the exchange of money. Work at home moms often run their own Internet businesses, maintaining their web pages and providing a variety of services and functions.

Programs such as affiliate programs make this avenue even more lucrative because a stay at home mom can earn two incomes: the first from her web site and the products or services she sells, and the second by providing a link to an affiliate's web site. The affiliate pays the site owner each time someone visits their site from the owner's link.

This program requires little maintenance, little initial effort, and provides continual income. Marketing opportunities also present mothers with ample chances to make money and succeed in business. These ventures require an outgoing personality and ability to look at a stranger and see a potential client. Mothers with these skills can effectively market for other people, make money when they bring new marketers into the corporation, and benefit from the connection they have to the world outside their home.

Work at home moms have the best of both worlds. They are able to be with their families and enjoy their time as a mother to the fullest. They are able to succeed in business and challenge their minds to grow and expand with knowledge. They are strong women with heart, who have the courage to demand that all of their heart's desires be met. These women refuse to just be one thing, but know they can be anything and succeed at everything.
