Stay at home moms are in a unique position because they are already technically working at home, and have a schedule that is just as limited as people who work outside the home full time. That means anything you do from home will likely be in between naps and bedtimes.
That fact alone can make it seem far too daunting to start your own home business. While it can seem overwhelming, it's time to brush those fears away! There are definitely ways for you to earn a great income from home without taking any time away from your kids or from handling household tasks.
The best way for any mom to earn money from home is through affiliate marketing which is an easy and proven money-making endeavor on the Internet. Because it is a very flexible way to make money online, moms can do it any time of the day like at night when their children are already asleep or when all household chores are done.
An obvious job for a stay at home mom would be to be an article writer. This is an ever growing industry and one that can use part time writers all the time. Even if mom only has a few hours a day, she can add at least $100 a week to the family till. If she is able to free herself up for 6 hours or more each day, she could easily earn $300-$400 writing articles in her spare time.
Host your own garage sale to earn money. Stay at home moms can invite other friends to join in with their own items to sell. Advertise by placing signs around your community and post detailed listings on Craigslist. Have a large selection, advertise well, and price items to sell. If you do those things, you should earn lots of money.
Something else that mom can do is something that she does every day, baby-sitting! This may require a little research as certain areas have limits on how many kids can be in a home, but it is definitely something that is worth looking into. If successful, this can be a viable business long after your child grows up.
A stay at home mom might elect for a job as a pet walker. This can be a fun and exciting job. Pet walking jobs offer a great deal of flexibility for the stay at home mom. Not only can you decide who your ''customers'' are, you can get in a great deal of exercise and have fun doing it. For the stay at home mom who already has pets, this can be a great job.
