Being a mother is indeed a full-time job. But, there's no rule that says you can't be a stay-at-home mom and make your own money on the side just like you would with any other full-time job.
Let's look at some side hustles that empower you to put your children first while making a living.
1) Become a Virtual Assistant: You can help busy professionals manage their workload and offer administrative support from the comfort of your own home. You get to choose the jobs and responsibilities that are right for your personal situation. For example, if you have young children you may want to opt-out of phone work where you'll need a quiet background to maintain your client's professional image. You get to set your schedule and offerings to make it make sense for your lifestyle. You're able to set your own hourly rate to fit your financial goals. And the start-up costs are minimal if you already have a computer, a phone, and internet access.
2) Freelance Writing: If you’re a skilled writer, you can offer your services to businesses and publications in need of content! There are freelancing hubs that allow users to request content about different topics. This cuts down on the marketing you have to do. But it also limits your income potential. Take your writing in your own hands and start reaching out to business owners and offering your services. It's also a good idea to have your own website/blog where prospective clients can see your work. Content is king! There will always be a market for it.
3) Photography: Whether you specialize in family photos or take stunning landscapes, there is money to be made in photography. It also offers you flexible scheduling and the ability to decline and or reschedule appointments (with tact) to take care of unforeseen family issues. Not only can you make money taking pictures for clients, there's also income potential in selling your photos online. With the proper contracts in place of course.
4) Coaching: If you’re knowledgeable in an industry, you can coach people online in a variety of subjects. The freedom to schedule appointments at your leisure, while building and scaling your brand is there. The challenge would be getting your start in such a saturated industry if you haven't already begun to build your personal brand. Challenging not impossible. Women Funding Women has an amazing program for women entrepreneurs who are interested in becoming a mentor and coach. Not only would you be starting your career as a coach, but you'd also receive training, experience, visibility, and a platform created just for you. Get started today!
5) Etsy Shop: Creating and selling handmade items on Etsy is great way to make some extra cash. But it's important to remember that success in this business means meeting a product quota and fulfilling orders. And to get to the point where there's a demand for what you create you have to be prepared to market, market, MARKET your product. Social media is a great place to get started. If you need assistance marketing your product of starting your business, HHM's "Market Her Hustle" Team would be more than happy to help.
