Online Teaching- This is an industry that is really taking off, especially now since the pandemic forced many people to shift toward teaching online anyway! Whether you want to teach your favorite subject on outskool or teach English online earning from $15 an hour, it’s your decision! Typically the downside of online teaching is the hours are really early, so take that into consideration if your babe doesn’t sleep well or wakes early. Virtual Assistant- As a blogger I know the importance of virtual assistants, they are essential as your business begins to grow. Virtual assistants typically send emails, create graphics, and manage groups or pages. You can choose which roles you want to take on because it will be your business! Social Media Manager- Similar to a VA but directly focused on social media, a social media manager manages and runs social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Pinterest Manager- The same type of role as a social media manager, but solely focused on Pinterest. As a blogger, Pinterest is a beast of its own and many people invest in Pinterest managers to help grow their traffic. If you become familiar with the algorithm you can really help a lot of people. Graphic Designer- If you’re creative or even if you’re not but you are willing to learn, you can become a graphic designer. From making websites to creating graphics for social media or even logos, many businesses need graphic designers to keep their image fresh and new.

Photographer- Schedule your photoshoots in the evening and edit throughout the day, being a photographer is a high paying job that can be so rewarding! You’ll want to make sure you learn how to edit and invest in a good camera, but this job works for many moms who want to stay home. There are so many options, you can find the one that works best for your family. Run a day home- if you’re staying home with your babe, why not keep a few extra and charge for the week? It helps other mamas knowing their babies are safe with someone they trust and you get to be home with your babe while still making money. Make and Sell on Etsy- Get creative with physical goods or digital ones! Some popular items are signs for the home, jewelry, and shirts. There are so many other products though! Some great digital products to create are planners, schedules, and checklists. Tutor Online- Similar to teaching online, but focused on supporting skills instead of introducing them. Tutoring can sometimes pay more per hour, but the hours are typically in the evening. If any of these interest you and you’re ready to take the first step but want a little more information, contact me. My mission is to help mamas and I am here to discuss any of these option with you and help you decide which one would be the best fit for you!
