Being a mom life is not that easy as it usually does. You have to do your chores, handle your kids, husband, and do everything that makes a life complete. Things go messy sometimes and may be it can become little tougher paying paychecks and your bills. However, this is not a usual case but you could be one of them. Working at home as a mom can be a great choice which can help you pay bills and save you some money for your beauty products. Still, with the time left, there are other several ways to make money.
And that’s exactly what we are going to discuss today.
Let’s dive into the top ways to make money as a stay at home mom:
Become a YouTube creator
Cooking, I assume, is a daily chore of yours. You need to do just that, but record while you do it. Make different dishes, prepare and present it nicely, and consistently upload your “How to” or such videos. Be patient because the cooking niche on YouTube is crowded yet rewarding.
If you are not interested in cooking, there are other niches too. Start v-logging about your daily life. Share beauty hacks– make-up tutorials, for example. Besides that, you can make exercise or yoga videos at home too.
Once your YouTube channel starts to take off, i.e., get enough subscribers and watch time, you will be qualified for monetization. That means YouTube will begin to show your ads on your videos, and you will be able to make money from them.
Moreover, if you can grow a substantial audience and build your influence, you can get sponsors too. Alternatively, affiliate marketing is an option, as well.
Freelancing
Freelancing is the most popular way to make money at home. If you are educated and qualified, you can easily make money online. As a freelancer, you can work with small or big companies temporarily and provide them your services
Many people with no skills make money for completing easy tasks, but if you have some skills, you can make much more– say graphic design, copywriting, programming, etc.
And to get started, freelancing platforms are an excellent choice. Start with Fiverr, Upwork, PPH, Freelancer, etc. like sites. Alternatively, online communities such as ones on Facebook and Linkedin are fantastic too.
Sell Products online
If you have some stuff or you can make something at home, you can sell it online. Start with established e-commerce stores such as Amazon, eBay, walmart and all others. Alternatively, if you are marketing savvy (and I know you won’t need me to tell this), try woo-commerce or Shopify. Just remember you have to manage all by yourself in case you don’t have money to spend. Sometimes it becomes quite unmanageable. Managing a business isn’t that easy as it sounds. So considering other Business ideas for stay at home moms can be a great choice.
Sell Food Products
Of course, you are a master at cooking. Why not sell it? For example, if you are an Indian, things like papad, pickle, khakhra, etc. come easy to you, and there’s a market for that– online and offline.
In the beginning, you can sell your food to your relatives, and they will tell their relatives, and this goes on– a good old’ word of mouth chain to be precise. If the food tastes good and remains fresh, then the customer will order again and also tell other people about you. Note that deliver the order at the time to your customer and don’t make them wait for so long.
