The "Math Trick" Every Business Woman Needs to Know ~ How to Make Extra Money from Home!

I’m not a numbers girl. Let’s just get that straight.

I squeaked through 10th-grade math with a D+ .. a gift from my teacher who probably wanted me to graduate more than I did at the time. I did great in Art, the library was my best friend .. but me and math just didn't "click" .. So, when I say this kind of math is for every woman, I mean it. If I can love this math, you absolutely can too.

Especially when it helps you finally see traction in your business.

If you’re a woman trying to figure out how to make extra money from home, juggling all the things - groceries, bills, the sandwich generation of raising kids, and caring for our aging parents, community commitments, volunteering, pets - you know how chaotic it can feel to even think about numbers.

But this isn’t scary math. I promise you .. This is clarity math. It’s confidence-building math.

Because what if you stopped guessing and knew what to do each day to move the dial to more bless less stress AND of course greater success in your business?

Whether you’re building a digital marketing side hustle, growing your affiliate, network marketing biz, or just trying to bring in a little extra income from home - you need this kind of math. The kind that helps you reverse-engineer your success and bless.

Guesswork Keeps You Stuck

I have met and coached soo many women trying to make extra money from home who are just winging it. The video's, the posting and praying, chatting, wishing and waiting. But without tracking, we’re in a constant loop of:

• Confusion (“Why isn’t anything working?”)
• Comparison (“She’s getting sign-ups, why not me?”)
• Burnout (“I’m doing everything, and still nothing.”)

The truth is, we often feel like we’re doing a lot. But the numbers might tell a different story — and the numbers never lie. Because hope is not a plan.

That’s where this math comes in. The right numbers tell the story of success (or not) Simple. Powerful. Clarifying.

You Can’t Improve What You Don’t Track

Imagine Jane wants to sign up one new teammate or customer per week. Here’s what her numbers might look like:

• She needs 5 conversations to get 1 person to be open to checking out her offer.
• It takes about 8 exposures (views of her link or service and follow up conversations) to get 1 person to join or buy.

So, to reach her weekly goal, Jane needs:

• 40 conversations per week.

That sounds like a lot - until you realize those conversations can happen in just a few messages a day. But without tracking, Jane might only be having 10–15 convos per week and wondering why things feel stuck.

Math tells the truth. It shows us what’s really happening, not what you think is happening.

And when we track these numbers, we begin to take back your power.

We go from confusion to confidence.

From hoping… to knowing.

Making the Math Work for You

This isn’t about pressure. It’s about power.

This math works for anything you want to grow:

• New followers and friends on Social Media
• Email subscribers
• Sales
• Sign-ups into your Network Marketing Business
• Webinar attendees

Start here:

1. Look back at last month.
2. Ask yourself:
   • How many people did I talk to?
   • How many actually took a look?
   • How many joined or bought?
3. Do the math. Find your ratios.

This gives you a baseline .. your benchmark to build upward from. From here, you can track improvements and adjust. As you get better, your ratios will improve. You’ll have fewer convos and get better results.

And you’ll be able to CELEBRATE that growth. 🙌

Let's Make It Personal: Who This Works For

This tracking method is ideal for:

• Women with a digital side hustle (affiliate marketing, social retail/MLM ect, direct sales, digital products)
• Moms building from home during nap time
• Burnt-out business owners craving simplicity
• Women over 40 starting fresh and youthful grandma's like me (yes, it’s not too late!)
• Nice girls who have been burned with the slick, the ick .. who don’t want to spam, chase, or cold DM

This should be part of every quarterly business review — just like checking your bank account or planning your goals. Because your business deserves data, not just vibes.

Bonus Tips to Maximize This Math

• Use a notebook or Google Sheet to track daily activity.
• Celebrate micro-wins - like improving your response rate.
• Reverse-engineer your goals: Want 4 signups/new sales this month? Break it down.
• Review weekly: Are you moving the needle?
• Teach your team: Empower them with this system too.

What to Do When the Numbers Feel Discouraging

Sometimes you’ll look at your tracker and think, “Is this even worth it?”

Here’s the truth: the numbers are never here to shame you. No shame, no blame, just claim!! They’re here to teach you. Every action can bring a reaction aka result that you can track. And every week you track, you learn more about your patterns, your audience, and your business. And YES, even yourself!

If a number feels low, ask: What could I shift? Did I post about my business? A video/reel? In my social media stories? In my email? In my blog? On different social media platforms? Pin on Pinterest?

Did I have real conversations or just scroll? Did I invite or just hint?

Numbers are guideposts, not grades.

Keep learning. Keep leading. Keep tracking. Keep growing!

Why It Works (Even If You Hate Sales)

Because this math builds confidence. It removes emotion and shows you progress.

And here’s the secret: What you lack in skill, you can make up for in numbers. If your messaging is still improving, simply talk to more people. As you grow, you’ll need fewer convos to get the results you desire.

AND ... you will discover where you are getting your "biggest bang" for your time and efforts.. Posts? Pins? Videos? Blogs? So you can then focus where your steady wins are and scale your business even faster!

And when you apply this to a done-for-you system — like the digital marketing system I use — the results multiply even faster. No cold messages. No parties. No spam.

Just clarity, momentum, and money made from home. 💰
