Joe Hauckes — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 11:52:03 +0000

As you may be aware, I was interviewed for the Speakers in the Park series last Wednesday.

We talked about various reasons and applications for Anti-virus , Anti-spyware programs and even hit on how Phishing scas work.

We also discussed the advantages and disadvatages of Blog vs Websites for use in a business environment and different ways to set them up for different entreprenuerial endeavours.

My Interview at Speakers in the Park

The MP3 is a little long at an hour 15 minutes, but you may want to take a listen anyway, I think you may be able to get something out if it.

If this works the way it is supposed to, you should be able to download it to listen at your leisure.

Check Out Wendy Piersall’s Interview on the Today Show

Joe Hauckes — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 18:09:10 +0000

Did you see Wendy and Terri on the Today Show this morning?

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22425001/vp/29613344#29613344

This is the Bi-line from NBC:

The big business of digital moms
March 10: Millions of moms are using the Internet to save and make money. Advertising executive Terri Walter and Wendy Piersall, founder of Sparkplugging.com, give tips on creating a business online.

I thought they both did a great job explaining how the online relationship between Consumers and Advertisers has changed from the old way of doing things.

I did try the embed but for some reason the Script wouldn’t work. The link should be fine though.

Interview: Wendy Piersall of eMoms at Home

Joe Hauckes — Wed, 04 Apr 2007 11:33:25 +0000

Wendy Piersall of eMoms at Home is a Work at Home Mom who has a lot more to offer than what you might see at first glance, before you get to know her. She is a very successful Internet Entrepreneur and Business Person, an Accomplished Speaker and an Inspiration for anyone who has aspirations of Making a Living on the Internet.

So, without further adieu, here’s Wendy’s Interview…

Me… What was the major factor in the decision for you to become an e-Mom?

Wendy… Well, first and foremost, it was a desire to be with my kids more often and get more work life balance. But secondly, I’m such a stereotypical A.D.D. entrepreneur, I get bored awfully quickly in a regular “job”.

Me… Could you give us an idea of what your typical day is like?

Wendy… Morning is up and getting the kids to school. Then I work all day blogging and marketing my sites. I pick up the kids from school in the afternoon, and if it’s nice out, we’ll walk. Then I’m back on the computer until dinner time. I try to make sure we get family time in the evening, but lately I’ve been knee deep in some big projects. But no matter what, after the kids are asleep I’m back on the computer for a couple of hours before I go to bed!

Me… Do you have separate office space in the house, or is it shared with the family?

Wendy… I have a separate office space, which certainly makes work more productive. But sometimes I move around with my laptop for a change of scenery.

Me… You have been blogging for a while now, do you think it helps you with your daily WAHM life?

Wendy… It helps because I would be a claustrophobic mess if I didn’t have the internet and blogging community to visit every day. If I wasn’t blogging, I don’t think I could handle the loneliness of working at home I’m such a social person both online and offline! I think a lot of moms want to work at home, but realize that it can be quite isolating. So I always recommend that any work at home endeavors are balanced with lots of adult time. I could go on and on about blogging, though. Most of my writing is dedicated to the craft.

Me… How do you find time to devote to writing articles for eMoms at Home and the other projects you have going?

Wendy… Since my kids are mostly in school, and this is my full time business, it’s pretty easy to find the time! But I don’t know how part-time bloggers pull it off blogging is a time consuming job!

Me… What do you do when you need a break from the daily routine or to just get away?

Wendy… It’s easier in the summer time, because we have a boat and are close to the Fox River west of Chicago. This may sound funny, but I find that some of my BEST business ideas come to me while I am cleaning! So even though I really dislike cleaning, I will break from work and go clean to clear my head and let my brain work through ideas.

Me… Could you give us an example of the advantages of Working at Home? Any drawbacks?

Wendy… Too much to write about here. But I have a few articles that answer this question perfectly!
Top Ten Working from Home Mistakes
10 Signs that You are Ready to Start a Home Based Business
Top Ten Key Success Ingredients for Home Based Businesses

Me… Ok, Wendy last question. Do you have any special advice for other eMoms (and eDads)?

Wendy… JUMP IN. I used to be a single mom living off of food stamps in my parent’s basement when I started my first home business. You don’t need a great degree or an established career to work from home. You just need to follow your heart and do what it takes to succeed (and learn as much as you can as fast as you can along the way!).

Wendy, Thanks so much for taking the time to do this interview. I know it will be very helpful to my readers since I don’t really write too much about eMoms and WHAMs. (I have no personal experience being a mom) It has certainly given me some insight into the Working Life of the Premier eMom.

If you would like to find out more about Wendy Piersall and being an eMom (read Entrepreneur), go visit her at eMoms at Home. I know she would like to see you there and have you join in the conversation.

Wendy will be one of the Featured Speakers at SOBCon 07 in Chicago May 11-12.
