What Exactly is WAHM-Trade?

W-T is a membership website offering online business promotional services and tools for all home-based and small business owners who themselves own websites and/or run their own online businesses. W-T members are provided with a variety of creative and effective advertising and marketing tools & services. (You don’t need to be a “Mom” to join, we have lots of members who are men, grandparents and even singles!)

The key to the effectiveness of our service for your business is to be an active member and utilize the variety of tools and services available to you through your membership with W-T. Your website exposure is not automatic at W-T just because you joined; or just because you added websites and ads into our rotations. But when our members take advantage of and use their membership services often and using more than one single service or tool, they get stellar results.

What is a Traffic Exchange (TE)?

Very simply, it is a member based program where you visit other members’ websites and earn advertising credits to use towards getting visitors to your websites. Specifically, this means that when you join our membership, you need to surf via our special surfbar and preview the websites of other members within this exchange, thus you earn hit credits for your own sites to be seen by the other members when they in turn surf. How much your sites get seen depends upon how much you surf.

NOTE: You will not see your own sites when you are surfing. This program is set up so that you do not see your own sites and waste your valuable credits. Other people surfing WILL see your site. Your member’s Website Tools page will show you how many views your websites have received.


Getting Your Account Activated & “Live”?

1. You join W-T.

2. You receive a “Welcome/Validation” email from W-T which verifies that the email address you used for your account is real. You validate your account by clicking the link in this initial email you receive from us immediately after signing up.

Many times this email will go into your bulk/junk mail folder since it is the first time you receive an email from our address which is: MakeMeSeen@wahm-trade.com.

3. Login to your account, read the Welcome and Getting Started information & tips provided to you on your main Member’s Page.

4. Activate your account by surfing the initial required sites (as noted in the message box at the very top of your Member’s Page) by clicking your “Surf & Earn Hits” button which is located in your Tools & Services section in the bottom half of your Member’s Page.
