Transcriptionist
I have, to be honest, that this isn’t the quickest way to earn money, but it is a legit way. You can also do it at your own leisure. If you’re quick at this job, you can make anywhere from $15-$20 an hour, sometimes more.
Bilingual Work
If you’re a bilingual mama, you’re in for a real treat when trying to work from home. These days, almost every company needs some type of bilingual person on their team. Whether it is writing, translation, or even a chat position with a company—it’s very valuable to the work world to be able to speak two languages.
Copywriter
Quite different from a freelance writer, a copywriter normally does copy for big companies. For example, newsletters or a sales pages are both something that a copywriter would complete.
Accountant
If you have the degree, you might as well use it. So many companies are seeking accountants to help them with their bookkeeping. Start by contacting local companies in your area to see if they need an accountant on their team. This might be one where you could work in the office one day a week and from home the rest of the week, or when you have additional hours to spare at home.
Graphic Designer
If you went to school to be a graphic designer or if you’re self-taught, this could be the perfect job for any busy mom. You can make your own schedule and work from the comfort of your own home. It’s rare that a company doesn’t need help with some sort of graphic design. Put your creative boots on and get to work.
Clothes Resaler
If you’re awesome at reselling clothes, then you can do this in your spare time from home. I don’t know about you, but my kids have a TON of clothes. I can easily resell some of their items on a Facebook Garage Sale Sight of even on Ebay! If I’m really feeling spunky, I’ll post my stuff on Craigslist to sell.
Direct Sales
In my opinion, some Direct Sales companies can be really awesome. You have to choose what’s right for you and you can always do it in your spare time. Keep in mind that direct sales are hard and not everyone is good at this type of work, but it’s worth it if you can make money. Always do your due diligence when looking for a direct sales company to partner with.
A Virtual Assistant
Think of things this way, most companies need some kind of an assistant. Instead of being a physical sit down secretary, there are virtual assistants. Virtual Assistants do things like invoicing, customer services, and all other kinds of tasks. Places like Fancy Hands will higher newbie virtual assistants or you could reach out to a Blogger or Website you love and see if they are hiring!
Start Your Own Business
If you are superior at something, why not start your own business? You can always do it from the comfort of your own home. When it comes to starting a business from the comfort of your own home, you want it to be a low-cost start up with a quick return on investment. For example, if you’re selling crafts, you want to make it worth your time and you don’t want to pay an arm and a leg for the craft supplies. Know your worth, but also know what someone is going to pay!
