As a stay at home mom, you likely are faced with many financial burdens due to only having your hubbies source of income coming in at the current time.
Trust me, I know exactly how you must feel about now, as I was in a situation just like this with my ex-wife and I know this can be quite frustrating.
Sometimes you feel like you just want to get out there and help them out with your share of the monthly responsibilities, but it’s not possible for you to work a job outside of your house.
What do you do in this type of a situation?
Well, over the years the internet has evolved and there have been millions of people who have utilized this to its full potential to earn a full time living online.
Are you a stay at home mom yourself, or do you know someone who is?
If so, then I would encourage you to stick around as I’ll be sharing 3 of the most profitable ways for you to earn money online as a stay at home mom.
Take Online Surveys
Taking surveys is one of the easiest ways to earn some decent cash or gift cards for doing something as simple as offering your opinion on several different topics of interest.
Depending on the types of surveys you take will determine how much you could potentially earn from each one.
Here are a few that I’ve had the most luck with:
I have earned anywhere from $1 per survey all the way up to $5 per survey by combining all of these panels together.
Just last week, I earned over $5 completing surveys and this didn’t take me longer than 15-20 minutes top, which I think is definitely worth my time.
What do you guys think?
When was the last time you got paid $5 to complete a 15 minute survey?
Some people don’t even bother with surveys as they feel like it’s a waste of their time and trust me, at least 85% of all survey panels out there is a waste of your time.
However, I have personally screened these 4 survey panels above and I have put my seal of approval on them.
Become A Freelancer
As more and more people start to learn how to use the internet to their advantage and learn how to build an online passion based business, the demand for quality freelancers will naturally be on the rise as well.
If you’re the type of person who enjoys writing and would like to start getting paid for your freelancing skills you definitely shouldn’t look over this.
You can go to places like
- Upwork.com
- Freelancer.com
- Fiverr.com
You would need to signup and fill out a few demographics of what type of skills you have and what you excel at the most (Your most valuable skill)
You could post your qualifications and list the type of jobs you’re looking for on their job board to get the best results.
This way other people who are currently searching for freelancers will be able to find your post, read over your qualifications, and determine if you would be the right person for the job or not.
You’ll get paid on a per job basis and how much money you’ll earn here will vary depending on what all the job entails.
Freelancers can make anywhere from $15 an article up to $500 an article depending on the complexity and the amount of research required to write a detailed article.
This would be an ideal job for any stay at home mom who is looking to earn some great money by unleashing their creativity and using it to their advantage.
Become A Blogger
Blogging has become a really popular way to earn some really good money by sharing your thoughts on a particular hobby of yours and getting paid for it.
This is also referred to as affiliate marketing and it happens to be my #1 source of income that has been earning me a full time living since 2014.
Basically how this works is you would write about a particular topic of interest on your blog/website and join affiliate programs to promote relevant products that are related to this topic.
When people read your blog and purchase the products you recommended on your blog, you earn a commission.
Are you guys following me so far?
Over the past decade, blogging has really taken off and this happens to be a multi billion dollar industry a year which is growing more by the minute.
My Closing Thoughts
If you’re a stay at home mom who is either looking to supplement your income completing surveys or create a full-time income blogging, this is definitely possible.
It will take a good amount of time and lots of hard work in order for you to create anything substantial here but if you stick with it and don’t give up this would definitely be worth your time.
I think we can all agree that anything worthwhile out there doesn’t come easy and will require a great amount of hard work and effort on your part in order for you to have any kind of success with it, right?
When I first started out here back in late 2012- early 2013, I didn’t know that it was even possible to make money online and I was almost certain that everything was a scam. (Due to losing several thousands of dollars in the past)
It wasn’t until I stumbled across a program called Wealthy Affiliate, that I started to change my tune and the way I looked at things.
It’s because of their comprehensive step by step task based lessons and expert help and support that I’ve been so successful in the online world.
If you’re a stay at home mom, who’s also new to making money online and you’re looking for the right place that will provide you with the truth and show you how all of this works and even allow you to get started for free, then you should seriously check WA out for yourself and see what they can do for you.
I really hope this article has helped you guys out and given you guys a few ideas on how you can earn extra money online in your spare time.
Have you guys attempted any of the things I’ve listed above before?
