Mompreneurs is a MUST HAVE resource for anyone wanting a home-based business. Everyone from start-ups to savvy entrepreneurs will benefit from their practical advice on working from home. It covers everything from discovering your passion, finding the right business, telecommuting, marketing, and work-from-home survival tips. Their "slice of life" interviews with real work at home moms offer valuable insight into conquering the challenges of working from home. Keep this one on your desktop for handy reference - you'll use it often!

Moms on the go need this book. As a syndicated family/parentng columnist and author of Mommy-CEO, Revised Edition, I am always online. I spend between 4 to 5 hours a day writing and submitting articles and columns online to various websites, newspapers and magazines. Needless to say, I needed valuable tips to help me plug into my daily plans. I get many copies of books and this one is a keeper.

I'd like to also recommend another new book called, The Entrepreneurial Parent, which similar to Mompreneurs, has doable and practical tips on making the most of working from home. Together, they make a great backup system to many unanswered questions.

Pat and Ellen have done a great job bringing valuable resources and tips to Work from home business owners.

This book has something for everyone. Those thinking of starting a business, those just starting out and those who have been in business for a time will be able to find tips and ideas that can only help make their business better.

I know that even though my business is now almost a year old I found several things I will be implementing to my site to make it even better. Many Thanks from By Our ShoeStrings and Networking Direct.

Congratulation Pat and Ellen keep up the good work.

Best Wishes,

Mompreneurs Online is a great book for those who want to work from home but just don't know where to start and what to do. It is full of resources and success stories! A definite must-have if you want to join the Mompreneur industry!

If you are looking for a serious tool to assist you with online success this second Mompreneurs book is for you. Whether you are a newbie (there is a wonderful glossary for those of us who need help with our computer terms), have an existing web business, or are hoping to find at home work you will be turning to this book time and again. Ms. Cobe and Ms. Parlapiano have a personal and easy style that makes the book a joy to read.
I was very impressed with how complete this book is. They have covered every angle.
If working from home is your dream they show you credible online resources, as well as how to spot scams. If you dream of a web business they step you through selecting an idea, to building a site and marketing it to the world. Another area I have found unique to this book is the in-depth information on how to protect your ideas, product and site. Also, I have spent hours going through their Dot.Com Directory: Resource Guide and still haven't visited all of the sites listed!
The one last feature that can't go without mention is that through the entire book are examples of women that are making it work. They share their advice and experience freely. It's such an inspiration to go out and visit them all on the web!

Pat and Ellen have once again proven their expertise in the Work at Home field! This book is incredible in it's Internet resources and websites and just great advice for all of us who are trying to make a living on the Internet. They cover everything from the crying baby to incorporating your business to networking online. The real-life stories from other work at home moms gives the book a deeper credibility and hope for those of us struggling in the start-up stages. I recommend this book to ANY mom or woman starting a business...especially an online business!

Although this book has a lot of good information in it, this type of book should be updated frequently in order to keep up with the times. Most web sites are no longer in exsistance, and a lot of them are not legitimate either. The book tells you never to pay for information or in order to gain employment, however, most sites or potential employers listed require just that.

I purchased this book because I wanted to add an online component to my home decorating business (and I am a mom of two great boys). This book has been very useful. Now that my online business is flourishing, I continue to look through the book for more ideas. It is the kind of book that the first read through you get the plans to implement, then you read it again and get different ideas to use. Because the publish date was 2001 and the Internet evolves ultra fast, some of the information is a little old but that is only for a small portion of the book. This book is also useful for moms trying to decide if an online business is right for them and what it really means to work from home, (like we don't work already). I also keep this book handy for the inspirational stories of moms like me.

Almost ALL of the web-sites recommended in this book are no longer working.

The book was BOING

It gives children the chance to speak out without the noise while driving. It's a safe interactive program for wireless acess. Home networking and studying tips for children is awesome. My children love to be creative and has submitted request in childrens magazine that offers this type of program. It is good for mom's on the road.
