Page 16 - Work At Home Moms

 Personal product/service development
Many work at home mothers stumble into their own niche based on their own
personal hobbies. Some businesses that are home based and have sprung
out of unique ideas or products include such things as crafting, online sales,
customized clothing production with online storefronts, soap and candle
making and more. The options are limited only by imagination.

 Personal assistants
Some work at home moms run errands for others, work in a virtual setting to
take the load off office staffers and more. The personal assistant field can be
very interesting to explore in either the local or online arenas. The potential
here is growing as more businesses outsource and more employees fear
taking time off to get personal projects accomplished.

 Childcare
In-home daycares are a popular choice for mothers who want their children
in homey, nurturing environments. This option can be an excellent one for an
in-home business. As a mother, you have many of the skills already required
for the job.

 Writing
If you can string sentences together with ease, there are opportunities
available for freelance writers. While you may lack some of the skills for
certain jobs, there are projects out there that can be had by beginners. Many
blogging jobs, for example, require “everyday” people to do the writing. This
means only a good writing voice and basic skills will be required.

 Online tutoring
You may need a degree or specialized training for this, but this field does
present some unique opportunities. Reaching out to tutor students online can
be an excellent way to earn a living and gain the benefits of at-home work at
the same time.

 Customer service
Some companies are turning to virtual call centers to handle their customer
service. In many cases, these call centers will hire home-based workers to
handle shifts of incoming calls. While this type of job will require set hours, it
can still provide the scheduling flexibility parents often require. Plus, some
call centers might offer true full-time work with benefits to telecommuters.
This can be a bonus if you don’t want to launch your own business to work at
home.
