MY STORY
Like many of you, I am a single mom trying to raise kids in a tough economy. In 2002, I began to look for ways to make extra money from home. I worked full time, but themoney just wasn’t enough to make ends meets. After many hours of searching online for the perfect work at home opportunity, I decided to sell Avon and create gift baskets withthe Avon products.After selling Avon a few months and getting frustrated with the fact that I had become myown best customer, I decided to do more research and find another home business idea. Ihad already gotten my website http://www.danasgiftbasketexpress.com, so I had to stay with something along the lines of gift baskets. I wanted something unique so I did asearch on Google.com for the term “unique gift baskets”. At some point I discovered baby diaper cakes. I had never seen anything like it. I thought they were so adorable. Iknew at that moment that this was what I wanted to do! It was time for more research. Istudied websites and found a diaper cake recipe online. As I read it, I thought “Wow, IPage 2 of 7Preview of Make Money Making Diaper Cakes from Home

can do this”. That was it. I purchased the supplies I needed to make my first cake. I’lladmit my first diaper cake wasn’t that cute, but with a little practice, I got better and better each time.Starting out, I didn’t have any start up money for my business, but I had thedetermination I needed to make my business work. After perfecting my technique, it wastime to put my cakes online to sell. Without money for professional web hosting, Idecided to sign up for a free website from Yahoo. I love Yahoo. They have a free softwarethat you can download called Pagebuilder. Pagebuilder was so user-friendly. I did a littleresearch online and with a little creativity and a lot of patience, designed my ownwebsite. Although I started out with a free website, within about two months, I was ableto purchase professional web hosting. This means I got a “dot com”. My web addresswent fromhttp://geocities.com/danasgiftbasketexpresstohttp://www.danasgiftbasketexpress.com; a necessary change that showed I was seriousabout my business and was not a fly-by-night company. This is vital to online businesssuccess. We’ll get more into web hosting later on in the ebook.I wanted to be able to accept credit cards. So I opened an account withPaypal.com– again for free. But since some people still have a phobia about ordering online, it’salways a good idea to be able to take orders by phone too. I opened an account withPropay.com. It was only $35 per year. A very small price for that added ability to be ableto cater to my potential customers. Although I do not recommend this, you may alsodecide to accept checks. These days most bank accounts come with a check card with theVisa and MasterCard logo, which enables anyone to purchase online, just like using acredit card. If you decide to accept checks, you might try a company calledPaybyCheck ,a provider of internet check processing. An alternative to this and for customers with nocredit card, you might consider accepting money orders. Be sure to let your customersknow that using this payment will delay their order.I also got a toll free number, which you can get cheaper than most people think. Kall8is the company I use. I paid only $2 to get my service activated and you get to choose your own toll free number from the list of available numbers. There is a recurring fee of $2 per month whether you use the service or not each month, but still – the price is unbeatable.To market my business, I submitted my site to the search engines and soon was #1 onGoogle.com . I got my business cards free from a company called VistaPrint. You may have heard that they give free business cards. You only pay for shipping. Quite a nicedeal. You choose from different designs and enter your business information. Your cardsare delivered in about three weeks or sooner.Pretty soon after putting my website online, the orders starting flowing in. I couldn’t believe it! People were actually ordering from me. That was a great feeling.Page 3 of 7Preview of Make Money Making Diaper Cakes from Home
