When Joy Anderson suddenly found herself divorced with 3 kids and a mortgage, the clock started ticking. This stay-at-home mom had to find a way to earn some money…FAST!!!

Being a stay-at-home mom is hard and challenging work, but potential employers often have a hard time seeing how experience with changing diapers and organizing play dates will benefit them. It is not fair, but that is the reality that Joy faced.

Joy had tried a number of work-from-home ventures over the years. She thought about selling on eBay and reviving her Pampered Chef business, but neither job paid enough to survive. So, she looked elsewhere.

A friend had started a preschool in her home and Joy thought that might work for her, so she gave her a call and asked a lot of questions.

Running a home-based preschool turned out to be exactly what she needed. The work and the hours fit her life perfectly and within 30 days she was making the full-time income she needed.

The Internet provided tons of great resources for lesson plans and activities. While doing research for her school lessons, Joy came across an e-book about starting an in-home daycare. Running a preschool was a thousand times better than running a daycare and Joy searched to see if there were similar products

To her surprise, Joy discovered that no one was publishing information about how to run a home-based preschool. So, she made up her mind to write an ebook herself and teach others how to follow in her footsteps.

Info-Publishing the Hard Way…

Joy expected it to be easy to write and publish her e-book. She quickly outlined the e-book she planned to write, but the actual writing never seemed to get done…

…and the details involved in setting up the technical components of an online publishing business were a bit overwhelming – she’d spent the past 8 years as a stay-at-home mom and not as a web develper after all.

Eventually Joy shelved the whole idea of making extra money as an e-book publisher.

A Fateful Encounter…

Joy’s fortunes changed when she discovered a web-based publishing system that worked for her. Instead of ebooks, the system used a fixed length membership website that delivered video based training to her customers and lead them step-by-step through the process of starting their own home-based preschool.

Instead of staring at a blank screen and trying to force herself to write her ebook, Joy was able to use the outline she’d created and record short videos where she shared her insights on each topic. Sharing her ideas this way flowed much easier for her.

The system she followed helped her get her StartAPreschool.com website up and running. Within the first week she made 5 sales!

Joy isn’t exactly an overnight millionaire, but she is steadily building her new online business and still spending time with her kids – that’s a success in her eyes.
