11 BEST SIDE HUSTLES FOR STAY AT HOME MOMS
1. Blogging
Ok so don’t get me wrong, blogging takes A LOT of work to see good income that you can live off of in today’s world. But trust me when I tell you that blogging is still very much alive (obviously because you are here, hehe) and is a great way for us moms to make income from home, in between taking care of our littles and our homes. Is there something that you are passionate about and you enjoy writing? Then there is your blog! Find a niche, create a blog, and dedicated a couple of hours a day (naptime would be perfect for this!) to work and make new weekly posts for your blog and watch it grow. Blogging is a side hustle that takes a little bit to see a profit from, but if you stick to it, you can be so successful with being a blogger!
2. Freelancing
Freelancing is another great side hustle for stay-at-home moms because you are in charge of how many clients you work for, and most freelance jobs are very flexible with what hours you will work. To find freelance jobs, check out websites like fiverr and upwork and some freelance opportunites can even be found on linkedin nowadays. Whatever skill you have that you can help others with or offer to do for others, create a portfolio and sell your services to people looking for help on these websites. Remember, you just have to be a little bit better at something than someone else to help them, and get paid to do it!
3. Online Tutoring
If this is something you think you would enjoy, online tutoring is a great side hustle for stay-at-home moms and can be very successful. Even if you have zero experience with tutoring or teaching before, don’t let that scare you! You know your level of intelligence, and if you know that you can offer help to young (or old) people who struggle with a certain subject, become an online tutor! Set your price and it’s really up to you with how much money you want to make from this side hustle. Take on 2 clients for a little side income or take on 10 clients for more.
4. Affiliate Marketing
Have you heard of affiliate marketing? If not, look it up and do a little research/watch some YouTube videos because this is a great side hustle for stay-at-home moms to make income! Affiliate marketing is basically promoting other people’s or companies’ products or services and making a percentage of the profit that you bring in from your promoting. Amazon has a great affiliate program that anybody can join and get started right away (but this does take hard work and dedication) by promoting anything sold on amazon.
5. Selling Homemade Things on Etsy
Are you really good at crafting and making things? If so, opening an Etsy shop might be the perfect thing for you! Selling things on Etsy is another great side hustle for stay-at-home moms to consider if looking to make extra income. If this sounds like something you would enjoy doing, do some research on opening up an Etsy store and get started Momma!
6. Creating and Selling Digital Products
Creating and selling digital products like e-books, digital printables, templates, or online courses is a great side hustle for stay at home moms. It can be a little confusing to get started on this, so I suggest doing research and watching informational videos about how to get started. Even if you are the least tech savvy person out there, you can learn anything you set your mind to like selling digital products!
7. Photography
If you already have a camera at home and you find yourself loving to take pictures, then photography might be the perfect match for you! Photography can be a great side hustle for a stay at home mom, since we are most likely already taking photos of our littles anyway! Start with offering free mini sessions to build your portfolio, and then the better you get the more you can charge for your sessions.
8. Become an Influencer
Being an influencer definitely isn’t for everyone as some people want their lives kept private, but it is possible to be an influencer and not air out all your privacy on social media. Do you love beauty products? Start a social media account just about the best beauty products. Do you enjoy shopping? Start a social media account showing all your top favorite outfits. Being an influencer doesn’t mean you have to show your children and your whole family, you get to choose what you show! If this is something you would be interested in, an influencer could be a great option as a side hustle for a stay-at-home mom!
9. Participating in Online Surveys
Ok so I had no idea this was actually a thing, but it totally is! Do some quick research, and you will find lots of different websites for all kinds of surveys you can take and in return get paid for. These specific surveys may not pay a whole lot, but the more you do the more you make. This is worth looking into and could potentially be a really great side hustle for a stay-at-home mom!
10. Starting a Business
Do you have a hobby that you’ve always loved doing? Have you ever thought about turning it into a business? Most any hobby can be turned into a business! Do you enjoy health and fitness? Or organizing and cleaning? Turn your favorite hobby into a business and watch it grow. Although this is a lengthier side hustle to bring in income meaning it can take longer to see results, it can set you up for the best success in the future!
11. Offering Child Care in Your Home
This might be your least favorite out of all of these side hustles, but it might be perfect for you and your situation. If you already have a little one of your own and wouldn’t mind watching another one, reach out to family, friends, or places that search for babysitters and you might find the perfect opportunity! Besides, if you only have one child of your own, watching another one is a great way of bringing some kid interaction to your own little. You can set your own rates and hours and babysitting could potentially be the perfect side hustle for you!
If you are a stay at home mom and are looking for a side hustle to bring in some income, or to just help you feel more human and not only just a mom (IYKYK), then surely one of these side hustles are for you. Remember, being a momma is the best gift in the whole world, but we as moms need things to help us feel good even if all we do all day is clean up messes, make pb&j sandwiches, and kiss booboos-and having some kind of hobby that we turn into a profitable side hustle, can make ALL the difference.
Much love to you, Momma!!
