Mums already have a lot of daily tasks on their hands. Between house chores and spending quality time with your children, it is difficult to think about adding a 9 to 5 job to the equation. However, having another job is a significant way to increase household income. But you need to leave the comfort of your home to earn an income. A remote job offers the opportunity to do what you love, even travel the world, while making money.

There are more than a dozen options of remote jobs that stay at home mums can choose from. You can even start your own blog and build your audience, or start an online tutorial about any subject. The possibilities are endless. Another advantage of being a work-from-home mum is communicating with other adults, especially if you feel stuck at home.

The internet has made most things that we never thought could be possible many decades ago a reality. These days, many jobs don’t require going to the office every day. So, whether you are looking for a job that you can earn a full-time salary doing or just something to pass the time, plenty of jobs will fit your schedule as a stay-at-home mum.

Here are 5 jobs to consider:

Start a blog

This is one of the popular choices that stay-at-home moms make when considering a job to do from home. It does not require any huge financial investments. Blogging is all about writing about your favourite things or activities you love to engage in. You can blog about almost everything from your experience as a nursing mum to cooking and your journey through weight loss. You will not make any money right away from blogging, but if you consistently post content and build your audience, you can gain a lot of money from it.

Alternatively, if you have experience with content writing and editing, you could consider looking for content moderating jobs. Try looking for “remote vacancy for content moderator” online.

Customer Service Representative

There are plenty of work-from-home customer service roles. You can be a customer service representative of any company anywhere in the world from the comfort of your home. This is one of the best jobs for stay-at-home moms. Your tasks will include taking phone calls from customers, responding to inquiries, providing customers with help, and most times, full administrative tasks. If these tasks look like something that you can do, you will need to create a quiet home office and learn a few software programs to become a customer service representative.

Virtual Assistant

A virtual assistant is an administrative role that provides supports for a team or individuals. They will require you to handle emails, schedule meetings, and manage social media, plan events, and other activities. You can be a virtual assistant on a full-time or part-time basis depending on your schedule.

Health Coach

One perk of being a stay-at-home mom is you have all the time in the world to work on your fitness and stay in shape. But you do not have to keep those tips and tricks to yourself. You can share them with an audience and become a health coach. Offer your audience a paid subscription where they will get health tips from you. It is a reliable way to make money on the side while doing what you love.

Voice Over

Becoming a voice over artist is easy. You just need to have great vocals and be versatile with it. You can make a lot of money by offering your voice over services to advertising agencies and companies who need them. With consistent practice, you can become an expert and increase your earnings. Set up your mini home studio, record some amazing voice-overs and send the demo reels to Voquent.
