Being a working mum is no easy walk. Not only do you have to do everythig a stay-at-home mum does before and after work, but you also have to spend your energy at work, balance the need to pay bills with the guilt that you are not spending as much time with your child as you would like to.

Having an online business won’t take all of that away, but it can help you change your lifestyle if you know how to make it a success.

If you equip yourself with the knowledge and skills to build your online business the right way, it could start to generate enough income for you to leave your full-time job, or at least go part time.

You can run it on your own terms – and if you are smart, you’ll make as many things automated as possible so you can spend time growing your business and not doing the mundane things.

If you have 20 minutes to spare, these videos on creating a successful online business will give you an insight into:

– What running an online business involves
– How to make it successful
– How to get started
– How to promote it
– How to start getting customers
– Whether an online business is for you!

Becoming a single parent (or lone parent, as the government calls it) can bring about mixed feelings – relief for some and panic for others, especially when the realisation that you are now in full and sole control of your finances and that of your children come into play.

Often the panic stems from thoughts about how are you going to cope, and then what about work – will you quit and become a full-time mum, will you reduce your hours so you can spend more time with your children and get some financial assistance through state benefits, or will you continue or start working full-time because you need the money?

Whatever you decide, there will still be bills to pay and a family to feed, so you will still need to earn money. So what are the best options out there for single parents to make money, while raising a family?

We’ve produced a 10-page guide that will help single mums find out whether they should go back to work, and if not see how else they can make money while raising their children.

Tax credit claimants are reminded today by tax credit claimants have one week to renew their tax credit claims before the 31 July deadline, or your payments will stop.

Clamping down on tax credit applications and cheats

As part of a clampdown on tax credit error and fraud, HMRC is examining claims very closely this year. The focus is on claimants’ statements on employment, self-employment, hours worked, childcare and children as well as any details that have changed since previous years’ claims.

You must let HMRC know of any changes in your circumstances that they haven’t already reported during the year. These could be changes in your working hours, childcare costs or pay.

Anyone who has ever started an online business knows that getting traffic is key to success.

Without traffic, you can’t get customers – how can they buy your products if they don’t even know you exist? Every day millions of people are searching for products and services just like yours on search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing, but if your website doesn’t come up in the search results you might as well not exist.

These short video tutorials will show you how to get your website listed on Google quickly, so that you can start making money.

Congrats to David and Victoria Beckham on the birth of their baby girl, Harper Seven. No doubt, David and Victoria (and their sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz) are looking forward to getting to know their new family member, and want to sound as much time as possible with her.

But what about running her fashion label, and other business commitments? This is a difficult situation that a lot of business mums find themselves in when they have a new baby, and many mumpreneurs are unable to take more than a few weeks off (often less than that) because they fall into at least one of the following categories:

Facebook is a great tool for staying in touch with friends, and it’s also a great tool for connecting with your business’ customers. But it can also be a little tricky to use it for both business and yournprivate life at the same time, without getting some crossover between the two.

Your personal updates, for example, probably won’t be of interest to your customers, and your friends and family might get sick of seeing posts and updates about your business. So how do you keep the two separate?

Balancing work and raising a family seems like a lot of stress for some mums. But then so can the thought of setting up a business – even one that can be run from home.
