1. Start a blog
Moms are the perfect blog writers. You write when you want (nap time and bedtime are great times to write!), and about what you want. Whether you write about caring for your children, staying organized, avoiding loneliness as a stay at home mom, or about something unrelated to parenting, the sky is the limit.
It takes time to build an audience and start making money from your blog, but when you write about something you love, it’s a fun way to bring in some cash!
2. Be a transcriptionist
Like to type? Transcribing audio into text is an excellent option to make money from home, especially for moms who stay home to care for their children.
You pick and choose which jobs you want to do and set your own ours to fit your daily schedule. When you learn how to be a transcriptionist, anything is possible.
3. Write or proofread
If you were an ‘A’ student in English class, use those skills to make side money. Freelance writing and proofreading are great to do in your free time. You set your rates and the turnaround time, so you are in control.
You can write blogs for entrepreneurs or small business owners and create web content for new businesses. Many business owners either don’t have time or don’t have the skills to write – giving you an easy way to make some cash.
4. Teach English Online
If you have a teaching certificate, or at least a Bachelor’s degree (in anything!) and enjoy teaching, you can teach English online to Chinese students.
The hours are great since it’s Beijing time, you can work while your kids are sleeping.
5. Sell photographs
If you have a knack for photography, take photos and sell them online. iStockphoto and Shutterstock are two popular sites, but there are many other platforms too.
Selling photography is nice because you can earn money on the same photo repeatedly since they’re offered as digital downloads.
6. Be a travel agent
If you love to travel, why not help others who may not have as much knowledge or experience? It’s fun to help people plan their trips. You get to live vicariously through them while making money from home.
7. Sell your crafty items
Make money on your crafty hobbies by selling your handmade goods. Whether you set up a shop on Etsy, sell on social media, or just word-of-mouth, there’s always an audience for handmade goods.
