I like this idea, my mom ran many small businesses while myself and my siblings were young. She still sells quite a lot on the micro-stock photography websites.

However, to be successful, you'd need to find part-time work that mom's where inherently better at. Or to put it better work that can't easily be done, by single guys in developing countries.

If you can't figure out a way to do this, the target demographic will be crowded out by people from countries with very low cost of living (which is starting to happen with stock photography).

Before someone says it, I don't mean to imply that developed countries deserve these jobs any more than developing countries. I'm just pointing out that a job site for moms fails if moms can't compete.
