Dear Work-at-Home Mom or Dad:

"I can’t take it anymore," SR, a freelance copywriter and the mother of two young children, told me the other day.

"Nothing I do is ever right. If I have to meet with a client or work late to make a tight deadline, my family complains I am ignoring them.

"If I take care of my family and the house, clients feel neglected, flooding my e-mail in-box and voice mail with frantic messages asking where I am and when they are going to see their copy."

Do you have that same problem?

If so, you are not alone.

Many freelance copywriters and other self-employed professionals who have children – men as well as women – feel torn between their professional commitments and family obligations.

"Isn’t there a way I can balance my freelance copywriting business and my family life ... running a professional business while being there for my spouse and kids when they need me?" they ask.

That’s where my colleague Dianna Huff and I can help. We’ve both been where you are. And we both found a way to balance family life with project deadlines, carving out six-figure freelance copywriting incomes in the process.

Now we want to show you how to do the same ... if you will let us.

Freelance copywriting for work-at-home moms – and dads, too!

In our new audio program, Freelance Copywriting for Work-at-Home Moms and Dads, Dianna Huff and I share with you the secrets to running a successful freelance copywriting business ... while still having time for your spouse and kids.

In this program, you’ll discover:

• How to make a successful transition from corporate life to freelance life.
• The most costly and ineffective freelance marketing tool ever discovered. Ignore our warning to stay away from it at your peril.
• Can tele-commuting work for you? The answer may surprise you.
• How to rapidly grow an e-mail list of qualified potential clients for your freelance copywriting services at practically no cost.
• Starting from scratch: building a freelance copywriting practice – with zero clients and zero prospects -- after moving to another state ... even clear across the country.
• How to get more mileage out of every article you write to promote yourself and your business.
• You have a deadline. Your child gets sick and needs you to take care of him. What do you do?
• Getting the word out about your home-based freelance copywriting business with low-cost/no-cost viral marketing.
• Your local Chamber of Commerce – networking goldmine or an utter waste of your time?
• How and why to avoid being financially dependent on your spouse – even if they have a terrific income and benefits.
• Why being a work-at-home mom or dad is actually good for your child’s development rather than harmful.
• Think you can work at home without a helper because your child is an infant? Think again.
• The day care decision: how many hours a week ... from what ages?
• Should work-at-home moms or dads do housework while their spouse is at the office with a 9-to-5 job?
• When to finally stop marketing yourself and just live off your existing clients and reputation (hint: it’s not when you think).
• How volunteering can ruin your freelance copywriting business in no time flat – and how to say no gracefully but firmly.
• Avoiding "schedule busters" so they don’t cause you to miss deadlines, meetings, and other important business obligations.
• How to stop the guilt caused by work/family conflicts from tearing you apart.
• Where to get a list of potential clients ... and how to work the list so you get leads, appointments, and sales.
• How to let well-meaning relatives, friends, and neighbors know that "work at home" means you really are working – and do in fact have a real job.

• Managing taxes, bookkeeping, and finances for at-home freelance businesses.
• How to make sure every prospect you ever meet thinks of you at least once a month ... without spending a dime on postcards, sales letters, or advertising.
• Why copywriters – especially women with young children – should work at home.
• Eliminating the time, effort, and expense of mailing copywriting samples or an information kit with an "online inquiry fulfillment system."
• The most dangerous financial mistake women make ... and how to avoid it.

Dianna Huff is a happy and
successful work-at-home mom.

I was fascinated to hear how Dianna – who had never freelanced before – made the successful transition from busy marketing executive to successful work-at-home mom.

And maybe her story will be your story, some day soon...

"I worked a full-time corporate marcom job," says Dianna. "And I fully intended to keep working once my son was born.

"However, the reality was, he was in daycare 10+ hours a day. I would drop him off at 7:15am and pick him up at 5:45pm ... and it was killing me.

"My company agreed to let me work from home two days a week. However, when he was a baby, my son got sick a lot. I had to juggle my travel schedule with husband’s – who is also in marketing.

"The worst experience was when we both had to attend the same trade show. I had to have my friend babysit our son, we were both gone for three days, my son got the flu, I had to come home, and my employer got very upset. It was just too stressful.

"Right after this experience, my husband took a job on the east coast. I used the move as the impetus to quit my job and open my business – with no east coast contacts, network, clients, prospects, nothing"

Dianna Huff started freelancing in August 1998, when her son James was only 12 months old. Working at home so she could look after James, Dianna built her freelance copywriting business from scratch.

"My first paying client – with whom I’m still doing business – paid me $65 to write a flyer for him," she says. "I framed the first dollar and still have it here on my bookshelf.

"It was very hard going in the early years, and there were many days when I wanted to give up. I made a ton of mistakes – you name it, I probably made it. I weathered 9/11 and its aftermath, when huge agencies were closing and everyone was out of work.

"I put almost every penny I earned back into my business marketing myself. Nothing happened. A colleague told me, ‘You’re planting seeds. Be patient.’

"Once the recession passed, my business really took off – thanks to all the marketing. I still put a ton of money and time into marketing myself. It really pays off."

Write, stay home, make
money, and enjoy your family!

Dianna Huff and I have helped dozens of freelancers take their freelance careers to the next level of success. You’ll find comments from just a sampling of them at left.

Of course, you could hire a coach to help you work toward your dream of staying home and writing.

It’ll cost you, though: coaching fees can run $1,000 or more a month ... and long-term coaching programs can cost $4,000 and up ... with no guarantee of success.

But Freelance Copywriting for Work-at-Home Moms won’t cost you $4,000 or $1,000 or even $100.

Our convenient home-study audio program is yours for only $97 -- less than I charge for just 15 minutes of my time.

And that’s what it costs you ONLY when our ideas work for you.

If they don’t, the cost is zero. Zip. Zilch. Nada....
