Make Money While Being A Mom First

By Mattie Knight


Many women are willing to sacrifice their own ambitions in order to raise a family with complete devotion. They choose not to work - or at least not to have a demanding career that is all-consuming. However, there are ways to augment the family income and have job satisfaction even if you stay at home. You can make money while being a mom first.

Of course, you can do what many do and that's get a job. Lots of families have both parents working, sometimes even full-time. There is also the part-time option, when one parent will work when the children are in school, or when one parent works days and the other works nights. However, there is little doubt that the family suffers when both parents work outside the home.

Mom can stay home with the kids and still earn money - and have fun doing it. You may choose to care for other children while their parents are at work. This gives your own children playmates and can bring in a good income. It's a confining way of life, but so is any job. You can't do what you like or run errands if you work nine to five outside the home.

The computer age offers different opportunities to stay-at-home parents. Buying and selling online is one way people earn thousands of dollars yearly. This can be fun, if you enjoy shopping and are informed on the value of things people will buy. In addition, there is no costly commute, no need for extra clothes suitable for the office, and no daycare or after-school expenses for your own children.

There are other ways to make money online. People with popular blogs can attract advertisers that will pay to post ads on their site. There are companies which pay bloggers to direct traffic their way. People who follow the blog may pay for advice on setting up a blog of their own or on attracting advertisers.

Entrepreneurs have learned the value of the internet for their storefront businesses or even given up their physical addresses altogether. You can do the same if you have wares to sell: crafts, sewing or needlework patterns, recipes, artwork. Antique dealers have learned that online traffic can far outpace that which comes into a shop.

There are ways to earn with freelance writing. International companies solicit original writing that will be sold to magazines, blogs, and other outlets. Some of this work is fairly undemanding and therefore low paid, but it can be fun for those who love to write and are starved for adult conversation. Other work posted online requires skilled writers willing to do thorough research; these writers can be compensated handsomely.

Some people get the bare minimum out of working form home while others make millions. Like any other arena, talent and dedication pay off. However, almost anyone can find something to broaden their horizons, brighten their days, and bring in needed extra income by finding work-from-home opportunities. You should assess what you have to offer and go for it.
