I love MLM companies because it is less work for you and a lot of great support. If you can find something you are passionate about and love, you can have HUGE success with a good MLM (multi-level marketing) company and it is one of the best ways to make money from home. Aside from those however, there are SO many other ideas on ways to make money at home. Take a look at some of these suggestions:
- Teach something: if you have training or are good at something, start an in-home class. It could even be one your kids are involved in! A baby dance class, a baby signing time class, piano lessons (or any instrument), a kids art class, you name it! People love learning something new and if it is a group class, you can make some really good money with 10 people each paying $20 a week!
- Graphic Design
- Blogging (see my post on how to make money blogging HERE)
- Social Media Marketing
- Become a VA (virtual assistant): helping bloggers link up and share, social media, the opportunities are endless!
- One of the best ways to make money from home is to sell something you made! Do you have something you are good at making? A craft, something you crochet or sew or knit, gift baskets, soap, planners, woodworking, etc. Don’t be afraid of trying something new! I had a really successful sewing business for a year and I taught myself how to sew as I went! It’s amazing how well just a simple bib will sell and there are a billion and 1 tutorials out there to help you get started!
- Babysitting. While not the easiest thing to do if you are homeschooling, it is by far the quickest and easiest way to make money and there are ALWAYS people looking for child care, one of the easiest and fastest ways to make money from home!
- Get into advertising. There are ALWAYS people looking to advertise. This can be a very profitable and low-cost business.
- Cake Design: if you enjoy making cakes, this can be one of the REALLY easy ways to make money from home. One person I knew made 3 batches of cupcakes each morning, decorated fancy, she had sold them all by 9am and was done!
- Photography: if you have a good camera and take a decent picture, you can set up a photography studio right in your home!
- Travel Agent: I have a bunch of friends who are travel agents and travel the world through their very successful businesses… maybe I’m in the wrong industry? 😉
