That’s me - a WAHM - also known as a Work At Home Mom. I’ve been working at home on and off since 1997. I used to run a website for moms out of my house, then I sold that and got a “real” job for a few years, left that job to go to my current job, and here I am. My current job isn’t a typical work at home job - I have an office and I go there once a week or so, and telecommute the rest of the time. I feel that I know enough about working at home to be able to critique http://www.workfromhomefacts.com and offer them some tips on how to improve their content and attact more visitors.
1. Lose the cheesy looking Yahoo avatar on your main page. It doesn’t look professional, and I can’t take you seriously when I’m staring at a cartoon avatar Samuri guy.
2. Lose the ad at the top of your page - it’s confusing as to if it is part of your logo or an ad, and it’s a turn off. I realize that’s prime real estate for ads, but your header should reflect YOUR site, not lead me to someone elses.
3. Move the ad links and google search box to the bottom of the page. Let me read your content without being distracted by other links and a search box.
4. Lose the ads within articles - again, it’s really disctracting. It’s hard to focus on your content when you have 2 or 3 or 4 links in each article to other places. Or make the ads stand out less.
5. Speaking of your content - it’s good! It’s honest and laid out well. You’re not charging for the info - always a plus.
To sum things up - great content - work on the layout and “busy-ness” of the pages that content is on. Too many ads and such are a real turn off. Your content is MUCH better than sites like TheRichJerk.com (he sounds like an arrogant man) but his design is cleaner. You win hands down over 3500weekly.com - that site looks and reads like a scam, and the plain white design is downright boring.![]()
