These are some great tips! I have had quite a bit of success with #6, and I am looking to get started with #4. I started my blog a couple of years ago, and that has helped quite a bit at bringing in additional income. If you are interested in starting a blog, check out this helpful article I created here: How to Start a WordPress Blog with Bluehost.
I am also interested in getting started with UpWork. I have read several blogs where folks are making over $100,000 a year writing content and copy for various blogs and products. I created my profile, and I am in the early stages of submitting for various proposals. We’ll see how it goes!
These are some pretty good home-based jobs and I would quickly add examples of people who have made it big on different social media platforms simply by gaining popularity after sharing their interests and hobbies. I’m not talking about vloggers who are now millionaires, because that target is pretty difficult to achieve, but I am talking about small time poets or comic artists who have put up with work on platforms like instagram and ended up gathering hunderds of thousands of followers. This led to book deals and what not…all while sharing things that they pursue as hobbies!
good ideas and I see that most of these have to do with writing and blogging. I like that. the reason I like blogging is that there is really no limit – you can have users of your content 24/7 / 365 all over the planet! can’t get much better than that.
A nicely compiled list of things that can be done online.
Here are a few more, data-entry, product reselling, translation work. Interestingly online tuition is something I myself have been considering.
Working online really helps find work a lot easier in this day and age; of course you would have to be computer-savvy for some of these.
I think it’s important to realize that there are two kinds of moms who work from home. There is one type whose primary job is to raise their children and do a little what I call a “side hustle” to bring in extra cash (like ebay, affiliate marketing, some blogging) and then there is another type of mom who is an entrepreneur but happens to run her business out of her home. While both are great – they are very different – and it’s important that you know which one you are.
I also think it’s worth mentioning that if you have very small children who are at home 24-7, it is very hard to get a lot done online. Many techie things have a learning curve that need your undivided attention and new moms or moms with really young kids just don’t have that type of time. But if you’re serious about this — hire a babysitter/nanny for a few hours:) That’s what I did when my kids were babies.
Now that my kids are school-aged I have almost as much time as someone who works outside the home to dedicate to my business and I have seen tremendous growth because of it. I love working at home now because I get a lot done while they are at school, but I am in the house when they get home at 3 to do homework, cook, and bond with them.
Blogging at home can be fun and lucrative – just know what you’re getting into and how much time you really want to devote into growing your community.
