How Can I Make Money as a Stay-at-Home Mom?
You are at home with your children, and you would like to make money without leaving the house. The question is rarely only how much time you have. It is what kind of time.
By the end of this guide, you will know where your moments are in a day at home, what fits into a moment that can be cut short, and you will leave with a day to fill in with your own.
We do guided affiliation. Other ways of doing this exist, and they are not wrong for being different.
Where the moments are in a day at home with children
At home with children, free time often comes in pieces, and a piece can end at any moment. The examples below are only examples. Your day has its own.
After the morning departures, there can be a stretch before the house fills again.
A nap gives a moment whose length you do not decide.
The late afternoon can leave a few minutes between two things.
The evening is often the longest moment, and often the one with the least energy left.
What fits into a moment that can be interrupted
What fits is something you can stop in the middle and pick up later, at the same place, without losing what you did.
What fits less well is anything that needs an hour in one go, a call at a set time, or filming in a quiet room.
So the useful question about any activity is not only how long it takes. It is whether it can be stopped at any moment, and started again.
In guided affiliation
In guided affiliation, what is left to you is posting, in a few short moments, about 15 minutes a day, at hours you choose. There is nothing to film, because we make the videos.
Everything happens in writing, so there are no calls to make. It is a small extra, next to whatever else you do. There is nothing to buy and nothing to deposit, at any point.
A day to fill in with your own moments
Fill it in with today, not with the day you would like to have.
| Moment of the day | Minutes, honestly | Can it be interrupted? | What would fit there |
|---|---|---|---|
What fits into your rows is what you can start now. If you also work outside the home, we look at a working day in a side hustle alongside full-time work. If you would rather not talk to anyone, see which side hustles can I do without talking to anyone.
