Help- I’m a Broke Cloth Diaper Wahm!
Mon, Nov 12, 2007
The good news is, you make beautiful cloth diapers and your baby looks just adorable in them. The bad news is, you’re not making many sales and if things go on like this, the diaper will be all baby is wearing. Here’s some advice to help you grow your cloth diaper business.
1) Take your cloth diaper business online
If you haven’t done so already, start a website and let the world be your customer.
Did you know that hundreds of people each month search online for cloth diapers and other baby products made by work at home Moms? Moms like quality stuff for their babe, and they also like to support the efforts of work at home Mothers. Why shouldn’t they find your product when they search?
Building a website has never been easier. For around $20 a month you can host a full featured website complete with shopping cart and built in payment processing system, message board, newsletter to keep in touch with customers, etc.
2) If you’ve done that, learn how to market your business with articles
Article marketing is something all successful online business owners do. The idea is to write articles and at the end, include your bio with your site link.
Add the articles to your site to get you more traffic, then submit them to free content sites. Other website owners publish your article. If you think it won’t work, ask yourself: What am I reading right now?
What do you write about? Anything that relates to your business. Some ideas:
How to wash cloth diapers
How to sew your own cloth diapers
Why use cloth diapers?
The different cloth diaper systems
Benefits to baby of cloth diapers
Benefits to the environment of cloth diapers
Benefits to the budget of cloth diapers
What native people used for diapers
How to potty train your cloth diapered baby
I could go on….
3) Learn how to optimize your website for search engine traffic
Search engine optimization (SEO) is an awesome way to get totally free (and more importantly) targeted traffic. Remember the people searching for wahm cloth diapers I spoke of earlier? You can find out exactly what words they’re searching for by using keyword research tools that are totally free online. It’s a shame to have talent and not earn any money from it! I hope these tips help you make more money with your cloth diaper business.

Sounds like a great idea epecially if you are on the budget. Our parents were raised with cloth diapers and grew just as healthy as we did.

There’s some really good advice on here. My sister started a home business a few years ago and had a lot of debt problems in the beginning. You have to work really hard and make smart business decisions to stay afloat. Good luck!
Great site, lots of useful information. I was very nervous about using them at first. It seemed like a lot of work. I wish I would have been able to use them longer, and with my first child. Plus being enviornmentally concious to help teach my childern.
We have a child who was born with Hirschprungs disease, (a problem that affects the growth of certain cells in the bowel that aid the moveent of waste).e had his large colon removed that meant he had very little control over his waste management (he’s a great toilet trained 6 year old now thank goodness!).
Cloth nappies (diapers) saved us what would have cost thousands if we used disposables.
The reason I’m saying this is because there are more angles for promoting cloth diapers than you think!
Yeah SEO is the best way to drive targeted traffic to your site. You can also use PPC and get more control over your traffic but you may end up paying too much if you don’t know what you are doing there.
Nice blog!
It never ceases to amaze me … the niche markets you come across on the web! … WAHM is a big market with plenty of opportunities to work from home during the hours they choose.
