As busy moms. Some of us have mastered the juggling act of taking care of our families while running errands, paying bills, being a chauffeur, a chef, and sometimes even a nurse. Most of the time accomplishing multiple things at a time.
We can cook dinner, help our children with homework, and talk on the phone all at the same time. However for so many moms, even though caring for our families can be very rewarding in itself. Many Stay At Home Moms have given up their careers and dreams to stay at home with their children. Many have to budget and get a small allowance if any from their husbands. Dreaming and wishing that they could make their own money without sacrificing their children and family in the process. Not to mention the quilt that it can bring to many. Many have a dream of being a WAHM versus a SAHM.
Have you ever dreamed of a job where you could spend time with your family and earn money at the same time? Most traditional jobs don’t offer that. But becoming a WAHM could be your ticket to your dream. However, before embarking on such a quest, here is some helpful information detailing what it’s all about.
W.A.H.M.
Work At Home Mom. Over the past 20 years, more and more women have come out of the workplace and gone back into the home.
The decision hasn’t been an easy one. It became apparent a long time ago that men were the only ones being allowed to “have their cake and eat it too.” They could pursue a corporate career and still come home in the evenings to the family.
Women with careers had a different path to follow. Besides working longer hours to achieve the same pay and credibility as their male counterparts, they also had to contend with the housework and the kids. After a long day at the office and doing the household chores, the kids sadly got what was leftover which was usually a very worn-out mother.
That has since changed. WAHMs are proving every day that women can contribute to the family financial situation and nurture their families. Both online and off, a network of support has been created for any woman who wants to consider an option that will help them meet their needs.
Opportunities
First, figure out your interests and skills. WAHMs can find business opportunities to work for someone else doing everything from audio transcription to writing articles to accounting. Be aware that there are scams out there and that legitimate companies looking for professionals won’t ask for money upfront from you.
Some WAHMs carve out their own niche and begin an online business. If you are skilled in crafting, you can create a website to promote your crafts and sell products. A blog is also another idea. Blog about your area of expertise and develop a following. Combine that with affiliate or search engine marketing to generate revenue.
My personal favorite when looking for Work from home opportunities is a great site called Upwork.
