Stay at Home Moms (SAHMs) are usually giving up a regular paycheck by staying at home with the kids. What are good ways to still make money while staying at home?
UnfollowI started couponing and it's been saving us about $100/week on groceries. That's like having a job!

I am able to work when my kids are napping and in the evening if necessary. Such a huge blessing from God to be able to be home with my kids and still earn some extra money!

If you can find a legitimate job working from home do it. Daycare, typing, proofreading etc... I am a work at home mom. I am a hanwriting analyst and do forensic document work from my home office as well as personal analysis for people struggling with issues in their life. I also do geneological profiles from people's ancestors handwriting as well as transcribing old hard to decipher handwriting. I schedule appointments with lawyers and clients while my kids are at school and can adjust my work schedule for PA days, school trips etc... I have the best of both worlds can be there for my children and still maintain my income. Working from home does take a lot of discipline to meet deadlines etc.. and sometimes means working late at night after the kids are in bed.
Another way to save money if you aren't working or getting a form of paycheck is to shop at second hand stores, especially those that swap store credit for your kids outgrown clothes, shop frugally for groceries, sales and coupons etc. cutting out some household expenses. like running the waher/dryer during off peak times, line drying clothes, turning off tv's less lights etc... it all add up to savings. good luck.

I like how strong u are and how u manage everything
I clean houses 1-2 days a week. I make 15-20 dollars an hour and work 5-6 hours a day. My mom watches my daughter, so they get time together and no child care fees!
Lisa - commented on Oct 18, 2011
Wow you are so lucky to have your mum look after your little one. The cost of daycare makes it pointless for me to work for the time being.
Heather - commented on Oct 18, 2011
You're right! I know if I didn't have her help I couldn't work outside of my home unless I we t back to work as a teacher or some other full time job. I'm really appreciative of her and my 2 sisters, who also help if I need it. I used to work more days a week, but have doubled up so I can work less days.

I sell on craigslist or ebay and do a couple rummages throughout the year. It doesn't make a ton of money, but it will make enough so we can enjoy a weekend getaway or dinner out with the family!
Phyllis - commented on Sep 13, 2012

If you like check out my website: www.shoni10online.biz. The website will show you 5 home based internet businesses. One of them you can sign up for free and you can sell your stuff in more places than craigslist and ebay. You can also buy stuff at a very low cost.
I also run my own company from home. Its http://www.SarahsFleeces.co.uk
We make quality fleece garments that keep you warm whatever the weather!
I have a team of up to 12 people who all sew for me from their own homes.
We:-
- Save you money - turn your heating down whilst wearing our thermals
- Help the environment - our polar fleece is partially made from recycled water bottles
- Help our economy - all our garments are 100% made in England
Having said all that running your own business is not necessarily an easy thing as it demands alot of time, money and attention. It can be very addictive so you have to set your boundaries of when and where you're going to work very early on or it can be a slippery slope to eating up all your time, thoughts and energy!
Typing from home. Making up hampers for gifts...making things up for car boot sales. Baking..

Hi Ann, you seem to like what you do, what if I told you that you can get free gasoline or save on gasoline and make bonus checks would you be interested? If so check out this online business, they have a proven track record. www.911gascard.com/truetither. Phyllis

I started a travel agency in 2006 and work from a home office as a travel agent. Pretty fun job and when we decide to take the family on vacation, I get great discounts.
Tianna - commented on Feb 11, 2012
Did you have any formal training to start your travel agency?
Christine - commented on Feb 11, 2012
I worked for an agency that trained me for 15 years before going on my own but there are host agencies such as Nexion that will help new agents with training and you can work from home because you are an independent agent.
Phyllis - commented on Sep 13, 2012
That is awesome what you do, traveling is a wonderful thing, my husband and I will be doing more traveling soon, we are newlyweds, and we found this company that can show you how to get free gasoline and make bonus checks, you can see for your self, they have a proven track record. www.911gascard.com/truetither
I was watching the Today show and saw an ad for a company called Taskrabbit (www.taskrabbit.com). You essentially sign up to do various tasks for people.. From grocery shopping to mailing products, pick up dry cleaning. I applied for it but am not an employee. Just wanted to share with you.
There is NO START UP FEE!!!! All these companies that expect 200 and more, it's insane. I look at it like "if I had an extra $200 I wouldn't be looking for a job!"
Best of luck!!
Oh one other thing they said was make sure you check out company they gave 2 sites Jobitorial.com and glassdoor.com. They also said companies that require you pay to work for them are typically a scam. So beware!
Phyllis - commented on Sep 13, 2012
That sounds like a good idea! If you have to drive to all these places, wouldn't you like to get free gasoline to do it and make bonus checks while you do what you do? If you answered yes, check out this proven company with a good name. www.911gascard.com/truetither

what do you do exactly Wendy? And how much can I make mom of 4 here
I became a Team Beachbody Coach (makers of P90X, Insanity, Brazilian Butt Lift, Shakeology, Hip Hop Abs, Body Gospel, Slim In 6, to name a few) after having my daughter. It allows me to workout with fitness support, eat healthy, & earn income. I stay home with my 5 kids (single I might add) and anyone can do it. There's complete training online to grow your business. So it's the best... fitness & health, time with my family, and income to support us all. You're even provided 3 websites that are maintained and consistently updated by Beachbody. It's cool too because when my kids see me working out & encouraging others to do the same, they want to join me. My son's teacher is one of my team members ;). Let me know if that is something that you'd be interested in. You can't get rich quick, but the long run potential is amazing.

I just started working with a health and wellness company based in Idaho. These products are amazing. No inventory, great re-order rate. The people who train me are amazing!

Wendy - commented on Sep 1, 2012
Very well said! Have a great day! :)
I have my own Virtual Customer Service business (http://www.StarksEnterprises.Us) We offer customer service for major companies through email, chat and telephone all from the luxury of home. Many of these companies are Fortune 500 companies (Cruise lines, travel companies, tax software, roadside assistance association, etc). You get to pick the company, the days & the hours that you work. You schedule your shift in 30 min intervals. If you have a child that only does a half day at school, no problem. Work from 8am-12pm and then again when you put them to bed at night from 8pm-11pm or not. That's the beauty of it, It's YOUR choice. I love the flexibility and freedom that this job offers me. I have three children and I never have to miss a school play, class trip, recital, competition or anything else that we have going on. This job allows me to spend quality time with my family and have a stable income.
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO:
1.) Recruit family members and friends to join to make money off them and who they enlist.
2.)Do any Telemarketing
3.) Do any Cold Calling
4.) Buy a product with the hopes of reselling it to make money
Can you tell that I speak from experience? I have tried all of those other companies that have you invest $200+ and then want you to harass your family and friends to make money. Not fun and I didn't find it to be profitable.
How would you enjoy a life with:
I.) No commute
2.) Little or no child care expense
3.) Spending less time and money at the gas pump
4.) Having to prepare/pickup your lunch and scarf it all down in 30 minutes
5.) Having to spend less money on lunch
This is legitimate employment with a tremendous earning potential ($9-$19 hour). It's perfect for busy parents, college students, retirees and anybody that's just looking to make money on their terms. Check us out:

Any company that charges you to be their employee is likely a scam!

SAHMs and SMs can effectively work from home and make enough (more than enough, in many cases) to support their family. My first home business was network marketing and it was extremely successful and flexible to my schedule as a single mom. I wrote about it in The Successful Single Mom Gets Rich ... here's an excerpt specifically about network marketing and single moms: http://thesuccessfulsinglemom.blogspot.com/2011/11/as-found-in-successful-single-mom-gets.html.
