Start a blog 

One of the things many moms are trying is blogging. They use what they have and their current life situation of being a parent and they share their real life experiences helping other moms in similar situations. Most have gone on to make real success of this and make a lot of money from their blog. Something they can do from home on their own schedule. 

Working for yourself

If you like the idea of striking a balance and being skilled then working for yourself could be the answer. There are so many different options you could consider and many of them can be done from home. You could train in beauty services, perhaps lash extensions at places like BELO Lash or you could look at studying in social media or digital marketing and then offer up these services in your local community with small businesses. You could even go back to university and train in psychology or holistic therapies and these are also things you can then offer online or in person. Working for yourself in a skilled profession is possible around your family. 

Create your own online shop

Maybe you have a passion for a particular type of product, be that skincare, makeup or even clothing. Then why not open up your own online store. Websites can be created fairly easily these days and website themes often have an ecommerce option built in. You can run your own little boutique shop from home, giving your the flexibility of striking that balance just right. 

Take on some online side hustles

If you are still unsure about what to do and want more flexibility with many different avenues of income then explore some of the online side hustles that are available online. You could perform mystery shops, fill out online surveys, and test websites. There are so many different avenues that you could try that you may find that doing them each day is a day job in itself while diversifying your income all the more. 

Sell items online

Finally, you could take on some inspiration from your own home and declutter and sell things online. Websites like eBay are great for this.However, you could specifically source to sell online to make quick profits and by turning your ebay account into a business, it could be very lucrative. 

Let’s hope that this has given you some motivation to consider some of the career options you have from home.
