Home Business Geeks provides a platform and a virtual home to support home-based entrepreneurial endeavors in a community of like-minded people.
Michelle Waters, founder of the site, is a big geek who loves Star Trek, cars, Sooner football, computers, home businesses and writing. Not necessarily in that order...
She spent more than a decade learning and honing her craft as a reporter and editor for school, collegiate, city and county newspapers. Upon learning she would be adding a third member to her family in 9 months, she left her reporting position to pursue a career as a stay at home mom.
Two years later, after struggling with mind-numbing boredom and a strong, emotional desire to stay home with her young son, she discovered web design. Michelle taught herself to design websites and soon opened her web design and hosting company.
After 7 years serving the work at home mom community, Michelle sold her business and took a much needed four month vacation. She slept, spent time with her children and ate copious amounts of chocolate.
Today, Michelle is reaching out again to the ecommerce community in an effort to provide Internet Marketing lessons for the geeky. She is also teaching web design classes at her local technology center and serving as a substitute teacher at the local high school and middle school.
