More Options in Modernity Than Ever
If you wanted to be a work-from-home, stay-at-home mom in the past, about your only option was cooking or crafting. You might make a shirt or sow socks, and your husband might sell them. You might cook, and someone else in the family might sell what you had cooked.
You might even do something like babysitting; having customers drop their kids off at your house—many stay at home moms eventually managed preschools for reasons like this. Certainly, options like this are as valid now as they were before, the difference is, today you’ve got more options than you did.
If you make things at home, you can sell them using an eCommerce platform and reach a global audience. So with this reality in mind, following we’ll briefly explore several jobs that are perfect for moms who want to work and mother from the comfort of their own homes.
1. Creation of Content Through YouTube and Other Methods
Tweets, images, paintings, edited videos, articles of the marketing variety, journalistic articles, short stories, novels—what do all these things have in common? They’re all “content”. Content is something that will always be in demand, and indeed it’s in hot demand today. If you’re a content creator, you can make a killing without ever leaving your house.
Look into platforms that offer marketing solutions, if you’re imaginative and industrious, you can start your own YouTube channel and become monetized by advertisers. You might do one sort of at-home content creation until you can branch out into something more lucrative. There are many options to consider here.
2. Remote Work Utilizing Zoom Options
Beyond content creation, the ability to talk with people in real-time through software like Zoom is totally revitalizing the working world. For example, if you’re just a mom looking for some lactation help, you can follow this link to the best breastfeeding positions and book a live appointment with a certified lactation consultant that never requires you to leave home.
Well, you can teach foreigners how to speak English like this without much qualification; you’ve just got to sign up for the ESL (English as a Second Language) program and follow the rules. Zoom and similar software make this sort of thing more feasible and profitable than it’s ever been.
3. Reconfiguring Existing Work to Remote Productivity
If you’re not interested in changing your job, you can also work with your employers to secure remote operational productivity. About 64% of U.S. workers are working from home now, so this is realistically tangible; especially if you’re a new mom who’s already on maternity leave.
Helping Yourself and Your Children Out
Reconfiguring existing work to be remote, exploring Zoom-based opportunities, and creating content are some of the best options for the stay-at-home mom who also wants to increase her income. Hopefully some of these ideas get your imagination going.
