Posted by James Brightman on May 12th, 2019

Knowing how to make money at home can be intimidating to new parents. It is even harder to moms who are working but want to rest or take a maternity leave. There are loads of opportunities you can do at home while taking care of your baby.

If you have a fussy baby, you can look for a baby playpen (check out this article on mombabybest) to keep your baby engaged and secured as you take a plunge into the online opportunities.

Most of them are not demanding and you can do them when your baby is having a rest and after the household chores.

The most popular ones include:

Designer

Before a maternity leave, you can take a short technical course on DIY projects. Naturally, most people have this talent so there will be no need to attend a technical school.

To combat the boring life at home, identify a DIY project you can do at home like designing mats and skirts. The most popular is the designing of Ankara handbags. Identify your passion and build on it.

Online

There are a host of opportunities online. Every day, clients and webmasters are looking for passionate bloggers who are savvy in article writing on SEO contents. If articles are not your taste then you could also try academic writing after getting some training from academic trainers. To get a trainer, there are lots of groups on social media that engage in academic writing. Join one and identify a reliable trainer.

Aside from writing, you can be a virtual assistant, social media manager or a graphic designer. Other jobs you could do are data entry, transcription and video editing.

With the explosive rise in unemployment, most stay-at-home moms are engaging in blogging and affiliate marketing. The best thing is to identify your passion and start from that.

Baby sitting

Baby-sitting entails taking care of other babies especially for working moms. Start with a few babies and progressively add more.

The babies will keep you busy, plus, your baby will have an opportunity to interact with other kids.

In conclusion, being a stay-at-home doesn’t have to be boring. With the intense use of social media, it’s easier to market your skills and have people coming to look for you at home.
