It can be a bitter pill to swallow as an independent woman, leaving a good career to focus on your kids. Not only do we lose our financial independence, but we can also go crazy if we don’t have an outlet to focus on whilst we spend our days at home. Picking something that can both earn you money and keep you from going stir-crazy at home is a great idea. I know lots of stay at home moms who now earn more than they did in their careers thanks to a successful side hustle. Here are just some of the ways they do so.
Freelance Writing
This is a side hustle that requires very little set up cost. As long as you have a computer and the internet, you can write online. Writing for blogs is one popular method; publishing e-books is another. The easiest way to get started is to pick a topic you are interested in, write an article on something you love and then check you haven’t accidentally copied anyone else’s writing by using this website. Next, send it to a blog that is related to your topic and if they like it, they are likely to pay you to write more.
I know of people who earn 6-figure salaries writing content for websites. It is a massive industry.
Facebook AD Manager
There are nearly 30 million businesses across the country. Every month over 400,000 companies go into the start-up stage. Facebook ads are one of the most effective methods for bringing in potential customers to these businesses. Learning how to manage these ad campaigns can be a great side hustle. There are hundreds of free courses on YouTube on how to do so and several amazing paid ones.
Taking 1-2 clients can easily result in an extra $1000 a month income for you while you are sat at home.
People who take it seriously can take multiple clients on, with 10 clients having the potential to earn you $10,000 a month, it is easy to see why.
Start a Blog
There are hundreds of success stories on the internet of mothers who have started blogs that have gone on to earn them serious money. Blogging is easy to get into, and you can start a blog with little to no knowledge. You need to be highly motivated to make it pay well however. If you can commit to writing on your blog every day, and people like your writing, you can monetize it.
By selling ad space and using affiliate links, every single reader that comes to your blog could be earning you money.
There we go, 3 simple and easy to start side hustles for the restless stay at home mom. All of these methods have been proven to help people make extra income from home. There are no tricks like lots of the “online money-making schemes” you see online. They all require two things. Motivation and hard work if you have that, what are you waiting for?
