9 creative ways to earn money as a stay at home mom

 

                THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE,                                             RULES THE WORLD. 

Firstly being a STAY AT HOME mom is the greatest job, Don't ever let yourself down thinking that you are doing something shameful. Nurturing your children and being a homemaker is something to be proud of. You are raising the future of the country and you are sacrificing your career for it (maybe temporarily.) I congratulate you for this amazing opportunity to shape the lives of your children. No childcare or Montessori can ever do that amazing of a job. Forming attachments and building resilience are imperative in the critical developmental period.

Without any further ado, I would like to share few side hustles that I did and do in order to support my family.

                                      

1-   PALFISH   

Palfish (app) is amazing, you can easily make up to 500$ a month, if u speak good English and love to teach and talk on the phone, then this job is for you. You simply download the app and send your details and a video of yourself talking. Once they approve, you are all set and ready to get students.

2 - REV

Rev is so interesting if you are good at grammar and typing. Rev basically offers 2 type of jobs       
1. Transcriber and 2. Captioning. You just take a test and if approved you are in (the hiring process takes up to a week). you can earn up to 20$ an hour.

3 - Start a reselling business.

If you are good at making something (like home decor, furniture etc,) you can sell just about anything and make a huge profit. These are my favorite selling apps.

1. Offerup- Great for selling furniture and home decor, NO selling fees.

2.Varagesale- Local selling and quick sales. Porch pick-ups are a huge time-saver. 

3. 5miles- Great for selling services and finding huge orders (if u cook or do crafts.)

4. Mercari- Statewide selling,  shipping and fees applicable.  

5. Amazon- FBA, Fulfillment by Amazon, gets your product to ALL of Amazon buyers. 

6. Poshmark- Great for selling brand name items.

7. eBay- Selling just about anything and everything, auction site as well as immediate purchasing. 

8. Letgo- Local sales.

9. Craigslist- Very well-known but not very safe apparently. Beware of scammers.
10 Etsy- Sell your handmade items. 

4 - Couponing.

If you are savvy and love to buy items in bulk when on sale, then you can make a huge profit selling them on the sites I mentioned in point 3.

5. Give a Hobby class.

 

If you have a talent for painting, playing piano, dancing, teaching crafts, sewing, cooking or if you even know Cricut, then you can advertise in your community and start a class on a small, recurring basis.

6. VIPKID

If you have a bachelors degree and love teaching, then you have to apply for VIPKID. You teach English online to the students in China. They pay around $16/hr and have amazing teaching tools which you can apply to your own kids as well.

7. Auctions

If you have some extra cash and love a thrill, then you can check out auctions. Buy a storage locker and sell the items acquired for profit. A keen eye and some knowledge of antiques can take you a long way.

8. Become a Personal Shopper 

If you love shopping, then you can run errands for other people and get the things on their list and earn some $$$.. usually, personal shoppers charge around $30-$40/hr, dependant on the task.


9.Become a Virtual Assistant


A lot of businesses need virtual assistants to go through their emails, manage their schedules, do some Microsoft excel tasks and help them stay on track. click here to find more about how to become a virtual assistant Become a virtual assistant.
