Online Jobs for Stay at Home Moms

Being a stay-at-home mom is never easy, but there are more and more moms around us who are trying to find different ways to earn money this way. The global pandemic inspired people to think of unique and proven ways to earn money while working from home, and the same goes for stay-at-home moms. There are so many ways to earn some extra cash and whether you have older children who can play by themselves or toddlers who need all your attention, you’ll have so many options to choose from. Based on your free time and energy, you can find an idea that will suit your needs, so here are a few suggestions you might want to check out.

Resell things

This is an idea that requires you to be creative and to research the market to find out the right angle for you and your future business. Many moms started buying different things from thrift shops or flea markets and reselling them online, so that’s a great way to go. If you know a bit about DIY projects, you can even buy pieces of furniture and decor and, after a small makeover, sell them for much more money than you spent on them. With a bit of imagination, you can turn this into a lucrative business and eventually end up starting your own company.

Passion for writing?

If you have writing skills and don’t have a problem writing for someone else, there are many writing jobs you can apply for. One of the most common is writing for people’s blogs and websites since many bloggers like to present someone else’s content on their site. In addition to that, people search for professional resume writers who can help them create the best resume so they really stand out amongst other job applicants. Recently, ghostwriting has become popular and there are opportunities to write anything from a small love note to even a book instead of someone else.

Tutor

Any mom knows that a child sometimes needs help with all the homework and catching up on school activities. If you’re passionate about learning and are a calm and patient person, this is the perfect job for you. If you want to become even more employable, though, you can take things to a new level. Start by investing in a whiteboard in order to have the right tool for the job and a safe fiber internet connection which is a must if you want to be online all the time. You’ll need a quiet place to set up your workspace so make sure you organize everything based on your kids’ schedule.

Virtual assistant

You’ll be surprised that a virtual assistant is a very popular job which is why there are so many options for moms to thrive in this field. Both startups and big businesses are constantly looking for someone to help them organize their schedule and take care of all the tasks they have on a daily basis. You can even have more clients, depending on your free time and desire to dedicate your time to organizing someone else’s life, but this is certainly an idea that will affect your monthly earnings. 

Test apps and websites

Companies need user experience when they create an app or when they need feedback on their website. This is a real job and there are real tasks you’ll need to do, but it mostly means that you’ll simply have to check how things work and give your opinion on how to make them better. If you have enough time, you can always enroll in an online course to take your skills to a new level and apply for more demanding testing jobs. This is great for moms who aren’t looking for something that requires a lot of time and attention, but it brings an extra income.

Just because you’re a stay-at-home mom doesn’t mean you can’t find something to do and earn something on the side. Based on your preferences, you can always find something, no matter how demanding it is, and be proud of what you did after you’ve received your paycheck.
