Sharon Davis is the founder of www.2Work-At-Home.com, www.WorkAtHomeArticles and the Editor of the site's three online publications.
A work-at-home mom of two girls, Sharon was formerly a sales training and management professional.
"After I had my second child, I was overwhelmed with the need to stay at home with my girls," says Sharon. "I felt that I was missing out on the most important part of my life. The deciding moment for me was seeing a picture of my older daughter on her first day of school. I was never able to be there, as my company held their annual meetings each year on that day. She looked so sad in that picture, it was devastating."
After being at home for some time, Sharon decided to look for a part-time job that she could do from her home office. "I realized that in addition to the extra income we would have, a job would provide me with the professional interaction that I was missing," she says. She embarked on an Internet job search and was frustrated to find the large number of scams targeting stay-at-home moms. "I knew there had to be legitimate jobs out there, but I just wasn't finding them," says Davis.
She knew that there were many others who were in the same situation and it was at this point, in September of 1999, that she was inspired to start 2Work-At-Home.com. Since then, 2Work-At-Home.com has grown into a major web presence with 100's of pages and over 2.5 million hits per month. Her site provides free job listings, resume posting and many resources for those who are looking to start a home business.
Even though they've grown tremendously, the entire site is still lovingly hand-coded by Sharon, mostly in the wee hours of the night.
Sharon runs her business from her home in a small town on the Northern California Coast. Says Sharon, "I'm living proof that you really can work from home. It's fulfilling to know that I am helping others to achieve their goals of working at home."
