developing online business

[Guest guest]

Good Friday morning to all! My husband moves our family around the country

frequently with relocation and I've decided to consider an online business so I

don't have to try and find a job for sometimes only a year at a time.

Any advice anyone can give me to get started would be great. I have a strong

culinary interest and have had the advantage of being a certified personal

trainer as well as working in a wellness facility. I only work part-time now,

and with a young family with one on the way, I want to keep any business I

develop to just a part-time basis.

Thanks, in advance, to anyone who can help.

You may want to consult with Margie Geiser, RD. She's also a personal

trainer, but does a significant amount of work via telephone coaching. Coaching

skills are really the next thing any RD working with clients should learn (I

have plenty more to learn in this area!)

Check her out at _www.megfit.com_ (http://www.megfit.com)

Check out RDs that have their own websites! Interview them! Some are even

providing opportunities for other RDs to market USING their websites!

I've managed to work from home, nearly fulltime, for 2 years now! Took a

while to get it to that. I moved to the mountains 8 years ago. 30 miles from

the nearest grocery store/gas station, so went " looking " for work online. (I've

got 6 inches of SNOW on the ground this afternoon, by the way!)

Managed to find wonderful work with a great company. Via telephone, IM,

email/efax, conference call, 3 way calling, PowerPoint, speaker phones and

occasional travel, I'm able to do most everything I do from a home office.

Client

counseling, web writing, consulting, training/inservicing RDs,

physicians/office staff, sales, marketing, magazine writing . . hmmm, probably

a few other

things as well. My presentations at conferences/state meetings? For that, I

DO have to get in my car/on a plane and travel! ;-)

So, it's out there. . . but takes some sleuthing. With gas prices at

$3.00/gallon and the sad state of our air quality, it only makes sense to work

from

home if you choose/can.

PS. Do check out the NE dpg. . . Hey, besides coaching, how about recipe

development? Work for a website or newspaper that desires your culinary/RD

skills? Develop a syndicated culinary/health newspaper column if you write too?
