Five Habits of a Successful WAHM


98% of the Sellers at The Baby Burp are WAHMs. Isn't that amazing? We love our sellers and support these moms as they do their best to help support their families and give back to the community. Whether full-time or part time the life of a WAHM has it's ups and downs. Here are five habits of a successful WAHM.

They make lists.
Yes, a to-do list. Everything that needs to get done for the day. A list for the family and home. A list for what needs to get done with their business for the day. Successful WAHM are list makers to make sure everything gets done and in a timely manner.

They have a workspace.
A business person needs a workspace. Whether it be a desk, a table, a workroom or a sewing room a successful WAHM needs to have space to work to concentrate on business.

They keep a schedule.
A successful WAHM runs a tight ship and has to find balance between work and family. Calendars and business planners are filled up with lists and dates for things to do. A successful WAHM will know what they are doing, what they are cooking, when to clean, what time the kids are going to practice, and where they will be going for anytime of the day anytime of the week. 

They are highly organized.
This goes with making lists and keeping a schedule. A successful WAHM makes this a priority without even knowing it. In order to have balance and get things done on time and when they should be, a successful WAHM is a highly organized person.

They are motivated.
Why are they so motivated? Extra income? A desire to keep working after kids? Even when they are trying to sleep their minds are wondering about what they have to do and when they are going to do it. 

Oh yeah, and caffeine helps too! 

Are you a WAHM? What are some tips you have to add?

Why Shop From A Marketplace Website Like The Baby Burp?


Marketplace websites are a great platform for individual, home-based, and new companies to sell their products. So why would you shop a marketplace website vs retail? Here are some good reasons marketplace websites such as The Baby Burp have more to offer than shopping retail.

The Best Customer Support
You have direct access to the Seller who is CEO of their own company. You can email the Seller directly if you have any questions or need custom or personalized products. Most Sellers take custom requests and listen to suggestions on their products. Where else are you going to get to talk to the head honcho of the company and request a product in a certain color or size? You are getting the best customer service especially when you are talking to the founder of the company who cares the most about their products. 

One-Of-A-Kind Products
When you shop The Baby Burp you will find one of kind products that you won't find at any major retailers. Let's face it, people like to brag about having something unique, personalized and tailored to their liking. When you purchase custom handcrafted products- you are getting something handmade and not mass marketed which has a lot of value in that itself. 

New Products
The Baby Burp is a great venue to find new products that you won't find in retail stores- yet. New businesses working on getting into retail will list their products for sale at The Baby Burp before retailers pick up on them. This is a great way to find new and emerging products that you can't find anywhere else! You get to brag about finding them at The Baby Burp first! 

Supporting Small Business and Families
When you shop at The Baby Burp you are supporting small businesses and families. 98% of our Sellers are moms themselves who are working from home or started a business after becoming a SAHM. Some are moms that have grown children and have time to work on a hobby and make an income. This money provides and is an income source for their families. Also- did you know that most small businesses including many found on The Baby Burp, give back to charity? So not only are you supporting small businesses and families- your giving to charity. It's a win- win!
