Can a single parent really run a home business?
Want to give your kids a better life? Wonder if a home business is right for you?
Many single parents find themselves in a position where they can’t make enough money to pay all of the bills, put food on the table and give their children some of the extras that they would like to.
But, many times, working a second job isn’t an option because of time, health or just the fact that they would like to be able to spend some time with their kids before they grow up and start their own family.
Another deciding factor is money. Many single parents just don’t have the money that it takes to start a home business.
Many home businesses cost a lot just to join and then you have to buy stationary, business cards, advertising, letterhead, a desk, chair, printer, computer, fax machine, new phone line for your business and then there is the long distance charges that you are liable to run up in the course of building your business.
Who can afford all of that and take care of their kids too?
With many home businesses you end up filling your home with unwanted products and you run up your phone bill or spend time on conference calls, meetings, etc. Who wants that?
Single parents need a home business that is tried and true with no scams and no unwanted products piling up. They need to be able to earn money at home without having to invest and arm and a leg into all of the usual office equipment.
They need a home business where they can earn residual income (month after month) for work they did months, or even YEARS, ago.
They need to work with a company that has been around for many years, showing their stability, and that has NEVER had a late payment. This way they will KNOW that they will be paid.
Single parents usually don’t have a lot of money to invest in a home business so they need a company that provides a professional website already setup and hosting included with no extra charges.
So many home businesses might look like they are low cost and a good deal but you end up paying extra for a website and hosting and sometimes there are hidden fees you don’t even realize until it is too late.
Since many single parents don’t have a credit card. So then what do they do? Most businesses online require you to have a credit card. Your best bet is to find a home business that has more payment options like using a credit card or Paypal. This way the millions of people who don’t have a credit card can still start a home business..
Trying to raise a family alone is hard enough and then worrying about money too just makes a tough situation even worse.
So many single parents dream of the day that they have a home business where they will be able to spend more time with their family & not have to worry about money anymore. The best home business for most people but especially for single parents is the ability to work when YOU want to and to be able to do this with a small monthly fee and to only need to spend 1-2 hours a day on their home business. This way they can start their home business while they still work their J-O-B.
Many single parents are looking for a home business with the opportunity to make $3-10,000 a month. They need a home business that can start bringing in money in as little as 90 days. The opportunity to make that kind of income that quickly would make a big difference in the family of a single parent home.
Imagine for a moment, taking your loved ones on great vacations and living the life you are meant to instead of struggling for every penny? As a single parent you probably dream of the day when this is your reality instead of just a dream.
Ok, now it is time for a reality check. If you are thinking of starting a home business you need to realize that what you earn depends upon what you put into your home business. No business whether it is online or off, home based or not will not bring in money if you don’t work them. You cannot get something for nothing
Now, you are probably thinking…
Where on earth am I going to find a home business where I can work at home in my spare time, earn the money that I need to in order to support my family AND have it meet all of the guidelines listed here?
Think this sounds impossible? Would you like to find out more about choosing a home business, avoiding scams. and more?

Can a Single Parent Really Run a Home Business? Want to Give Your Kids a Better Life? Wonder if a Home Business is Right for You?
Saturday, May 29th, 2010Explaining SPARK – How It Helps Struggling Single Parents
Thursday, May 27th, 2010In 1970, 90% of all children under eighteen years of age lived in homes with two parents. In 2006, only 70% of children under eighteen years of age lived with two parents. Thus, the number of children living with one parent tripled from 8.5 million in 1970 to 20.6 million 2006. Clearly, single-parent families have become much more common across the United States. In highly urban areas, single parents lead a complex and difficult life. Concerns about crime, economic pressures, time demands, and the busy pace of life make single parenting a stressful challenge.
Single Parents Raising Kids, or SPARK, is an association of single parents living in Montgomery County in the State of Maryland in the United States. SPARK also covers single parents in areas near Montgomery County and Maryland.
SPARK was formed in 1987 by nine people who have successfully met the challenges of life as single parents. The founders’ goal was to give single parents the tools they need to deal with the stressful issues they already had faced and overcome.
About SPARK
Single Parents Raising Kids is a non-governmental organization whose mission is to build a community where single parents in the area can interact, build new friendships, and share their experiences.
SPARK provides a forum where single parents in Maryland can support each other, share their the lessons they’ve learned through their common experiences, and help members learn from their successes and their mistakes.
SPARK fulfills its mission by encouraging active participation of its members in a balanced program that fosters strong, happy families. The group offers social and educational opportunities for each member.
SPARK is an active organization that publishes a calendar of events each month to provide informal, friendly social gatherings where members can relax and enjoy building relationships with others who share their life experience.
Examples of such activities include concerts, movies, dinners, and classes that help members get to know each other and interact in comfortable, enjoyable surroundings.
SPARK Management and Operation
Not-for-profit SPARK exists solely to fulfill its advocacy role for and commitments to single parents. It is not involved in, nor does it support, any other causes or organizations.
SPARK exists as a social support group. It does not generate income for its founders, leaders, or members. Its only compensation is the satisfaction of knowing that it creates the opportunity for support, social interaction, and sharing of hard-earned wisdom for its single parent members.
SPARK is directed and operated by volunteers. Operating expenses are funded entirely through voluntary contributions from and raised by its single parent members.
Based in Maryland and covering nearby states, SPARK is open to all single parents with children under eighteen years of age, whether or not the parent has legal custody of the child or children.
SPARK’s Purpose
The Single Parents Raising Kids organization’s purpose is to give members practical, constructive ideas for resolving social, emotional, and monetary problems that come with single parenthood. SPARK provides social situations where single parents know they are not alone. With this in mind, SPARK gives single parents opportunities for:
• Participation with other single parents in wholesome and fun activities.
• Learning and generating more knowledge about problems and solutions for single parents.
• Sharing what they have learned that could benefit other single parents.
Reflections on Single Parenting
Today’s single parents are more fortunate than those in the past generations. The days when single parents were ostracized or looked down by the society have passed. Today, single parenthood doesn’t carry the stigma and social burden associated in the old days with a failing marriage or pregnancy out of wedlock.
The single parents of today are lucky to have available to them the opportunity to enjoy the support and issue-oriented groups and activities to help them out meet the burdens of raising children alone.
Organizations like SPARK could have helped many a single parent in the past. But it’s better late than never. Thank God, single parents can now get support from SPARK.
Having enjoyed success in making life better for single parents in the area, SPARK hopes the approach will expand from Maryland to the rest of the world.
