You can earn a full-time income at home!

Yes – you can earn money from home

Are you a mother looking for a way to make extra money from home? There are actually many different ways to work from home, and if you are just starting with your search, you can get ready to dive in! There are both opportunities to work locally off-line and online globally!

One very popular way to make money from home is by selling items you don't need on eBay. You can sell any items you have around the house that you no longer need, clothes your children have outgrown, or you can sell things you have made.

But you don’t need to stop there. There are many people who are not as computer literate as you or maybe they just don’t have time to list their own auctions. You can offer your services as an “auction specialist.” For a small fee and a percentage of each sale, you can take pictures of items others want to sell on eBay, then post the auctions and also take care of shipping the item to the buyer.

If you come from an administrative background, you can find work online as a virtual assistant. The job duties can be varied, including answering emails, making phone calls, maintaining websites, and more. If you are very adept at designing websites, there is certainly a huge market for that as well as graphic design. A copywriter (also known as ghostwriter) can make money by writing articles, sales letters, advertising copy and more for Internet Marketers.

Freelance writing for newspapers and magazines is also an option for those who enjoy writing.
If you are someone who prefers to work off-line, there are still lots of possibilities. For starters, you can start a home-based daycare. If you love to organize and clean, you can set up a home business as professional organizer and get paid to clean out other people’s closets, attics, garages, etc. Another option for those who love to organize, would be to organize events. These can be events for people, such as parties and weddings; or you can organize events for businesses such as meetings, luncheons, and even business expos.

Many people have turned to direct-sales, also known as “party-plan”, to work from home. It is no longer a choice between kitchenware or make-up companies – today you can choose to sell candles, clothes, craft supplies, toys, books, jewelry and more. Some of the companies allow you to sell these items online as well as in the traditional “party” setting.

The possibilities for working at home are endless. Keep researching different options, ask lots of questions, and you will find a way to make money from home!

Hubby and I are excited to let everyone know that he is going to retire at 41 years old.

I have grown my income to the point where I can pay the bills, but we are taking a year to pay off all of our debt and make some other preparations.

I look forward to sharing our progress!
