There are many busy moms out there who have the desire to stay home and care for their children, but their financial situation doesn't allow them to. Some of these moms work just because it is an absolute necessity, and are looking for that perfect work from home job to make extra money to pay the bills:
Ways to Make Extra Money at Home:
1. Blog: If you are patient and consistent, you will eventually earn extra income from blogging. The key is to advertise! Google AdSense is a great tool, and there are others as well. You will start off slow, but some of the best bloggers make thousands of dollars a month.
2. Turn your hobby into cash: I am a photographer on the side, but recently have been using my photography skills to earn some extra income. Vistaprint will host a website for $4.99 a month (its very user friendly) where you can showcase your work. Place an ad in Craig's List and order some business cards with the website listed, and you are in business. I know a mom who also did this and she shoots about 2-3 weddings a month now, for about $1-2k a pop!
3. Add another kid. No, I don't mean make another baby and pray for a tax break. If you are able to, offer childcare services to another mom who may not be so lucky as you to stay home. Just make sure you comply with your state's laws about the number of children you are allowed to watch.
4. Start a home-based business, and sell your products to local specialty stores. I know a mom who makes specialized and personalized hair bows, and sells them to her friends and family. It was expanded to local stores, and she is on her way to a successful business. Do you make the best cookies in the world? Try selling them to local bakeries or restaurants. Every woman has a talent, you just have to search for yours.
5. Some companies have work from home/alternate work options. Look into the policies of your company to see if this is an option for you.
