Being a stay-at-home mom is not easy. For many of us, it was not in the plan. When I was five to six months pregnant, I had a job that I thought would soon transition into a career. Fortunately, that did not continue.
I say fortunately, because it was not my passion. It was not something that was bringing me complete happiness. Truth is, the job made me realize I had run my course by working for someone else. Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with a 9-5 or a part time, but it just wasn’t for me. With a newborn, it wasn’t ideal either.
So, if you are like me, you want to find ways to make money but not necessarily on someone else’s schedule.
Here are 5 ways stay-at-home moms can earn income on your own schedule:
- Blogging/ freelance writing
- Affiliate marketing
- Proofreading
- Create and Sell ebook.
- Photography
Blogging/ Freelance Writing
Have you ever thought about creating your own blog or freelance writing business? According to ZipRecruiter, annual salaries range as high as $133,000 and as low as $12,500 per year. But the sweet thing about having your own is there is no CAP! The more work and time YOU put in for your blog, the more income YOU can make.
Affiliate Marketing
This is one thing that is new to me, but old to so many. Affiliate marketing is a great way to earn passive income once worked up. Some best programs to work with for affiliate marketing are Amazon, Awin, and ShareASale. Check out https://bloggingwizard.com/affiliate-platforms-and-networks/ for more information!
Proofreading
Try some proofreading jobs. Websites such as Upwork, Flexjobs, Fiverr, Proofreading Pal, and Scribbr are great websites to start with as a beginner. Typically, freelance proofreaders range about $25-$45 per hour, but as a beginner, you can probably expect $12-$15 per hour. Either way, this is income you can make on your schedule.
Create and Sell Your Ebook
Do you have a business you’re ready to talk about? Are you a consultant or a coach? Do you have knowledge of a certain niche? Create an ebook and sell it. Ebooks are a great addition to passive income once the effort is made. Though it takes some marketing and sharing, this is something that is able to sell itself.
Photography
There is always going to be a reason for a photoshoot. Whether it’s for a baby, a wedding, or graduation, someone is looking to get their photos taken. Why not by you? Maybe you are wanting to tap into a new skill and profession of your own or revive a lost passion, photography can be it for you. Start up social platforms for your photography and put your content out there.
These are five ways you can earn income while building your own schedule. There is no time to get started like now. So, let me know how it goes for you! Until next time,
Peace, Love and Happiness!
