5 Money Making Ideas For Stay At Home MomsBeing a stay at home mom has a lot of rewards for a mother, but most women think this means sacrificing an income or even a career. This is simply not true. In today’s age of the Internet, more people than ever before are working from their homes. There are many advantages to this such as convenience, saving on transportation and saving on commuting time. For mothers, it means saving on day care expenses as well. Many jobs that are done from home offer flexible hours, and they can be done part time or full time.

Audio transcriptions

There is a whole field devoted to taking audio recordings and creating manuscripts out of them. You need to know how to type and have access to a good set of headphones. The audio files are downloaded to your computer, and you type what you hear. This job often takes a good ear as there can be a wide range of accents used in a recording. Examples of audio files that transcripts are needed for include speeches and lectures. Insurance companies also have a need for transcriptions of interviews.

Freelance writing

There is a great need for the written word especially on the Internet. Businesses need quality content for their websites. Examples of quality content are blog posts and articles relating to a business’s product or service. For the beginning writer, there are websites that hire writers for their clients. These writing sites are a good place to start a writing career. After this, you can begin to branch out and get your own clients.

Selling your own products

If you are a crafter, you may find that there is a market for the things that you make. There are several websites on the Internet where you can list your crafts with a description and a photo. Many people are making a good income from things they already do for a hobby.

Affiliate sales

Many companies with a product to sell recruit their salespeople directly from the Internet. All you have to do is sign up for their affiliate program, and they give you an account number that is unique and assigned to you. You simply use this number in a link that goes to the company’s website. If a sale is made, the company will know who made the sale and you will earn a commission. Often, affiliate sales people will operate from a blog and use this to drive people to the product on the company website. The sky is the limit for how much money can be made with affiliate sales commissions.

Insurance sales

Along the lines of affiliate sells is the work that can be done selling insurance. Although you are selling another company’s product, you are a separate company. Commissions are paid to you as an independent contractor insurance coordinator. Insurance sales represents a great opportunity. Once you have all of the legal qualifications fulfilled, you can sell insurance right out of your own home. You can use both the Internet and the phone to make your sells. You can also work for an insurance company right out of your own home. An example of this type of company can be found at econtractorsinsurance.com.

These are only five ideas. There are many possibilities for the stay at home mom, but you can get an idea from the above opportunities that it is possible, and many mothers are making money from their home everyday.

    Have you done any freelance writing Alexa? What is the typical rate for a freelance writer? Textbroker pays ~$10-14 for an article but I’ve also seen rates of $20-$40 on other sites. If writing comes naturally to you then this could be a great way to make some extra cash.

    Ladies, I am a stay-at-home mom with an infant and two 2-yr olds at home all day. If I can do this with 3 little ones to care for, you can definitely do it too!!! So, here is my recent success story with stay-at-home income! Through a friend’s recommendation, I became an independent consultant for Jamberry Nail Wraps a couple months ago. Within 2 weeks, I had already earned back my $99 joining fee. From that point on, everything I have earned has been profit. If you are not familiar with Jamberry Nails, I recommend taking a look at my website: tarahickey.jamberrynails.net. Long story short, it’s the type of business where you can sell these hot/trendy/fashionable nail wraps through “Facebook parties”, “In-home parties”, or directly off your website. (Don’t let the personal website intimidate you. All consultants are automatically set up with a website so you don’t have to be into computer stuff at all to do this successfully.) This is a perfect way to earn money from home without interruption to family/kids/life. It costs $99 to join the company, which includes a bunch of samples, materials, set-up of your own personal website, etc. (If you visit my website tarahickey.jamberrynails.net and send me a message, I would love to email you the full details on joining, including details on commissions, $$, etc) They give you all the “tools” needed to succeed. Please feel free to “google” the company, it’s 100% legitimate. You get paid weekly. I have several friends now in the business as well. **The best part about this business is that these nail wraps almost sell themselves. Just by wearing them, I have had people get interested, buy the product, and even join my team as a consultant. Besides earning money from your personal sales, you earn a percentage of the sales from people “on your team” or “below” you. (Also, although there are hundreds of designs, you don’t have to stock “inventory”. Product is shipped directly to the purchaser) I just wanted to give you ladies at least ONE real life example of a business you can do from home. Please go to my website and message me if you are interested in any further details!! Thanks, Tara tarahickey.jamberrynails.net
