Today I am sharing 5 ways to make money from home, because it was my dream to be a stay at home mom (or work at home mom) to spend more time with my kids. Â They are young and I wanted to be with them. Â I had previously taught elementary school, but I needed to find a way to make enough to supplement my husband’s income from home.
(Here we are with our four young children)

I hope that these ideas help you, as well.
My first series on saving money was How to be a Stay at Home Mom on One Income, but today I am going to talk about making money (not just saving money). 🙂
My top 5 ways to make money from home are:
1- Work outside of the home part time – Â I know, its not really making money from home, but it is the best way to BE home and make money. Â Even a 5 hour work week will make your family extra money that you can save or use it as you need it. Â I am a play therapist, so I am using my degree in education to help other children and other parents. Â I love my job and I love helping these sweet kids to have success in their daily lives! Â If you have a passion, find a job that will let you use that to benefit your family financially. Â You can even work from home. Â I make $1400 a month selling Rodan + Fields and over $600 a month selling Young Living Essential Oils.Â
2- Sell things – craigslist, ebay, consignment sales, mommies networks, etc… Â These are all great ways to sell things from home and to make money. Â You could even make things (like this DIY wooden calendar) and sell them online to make a profit!
3- Start a blog – You can earn a lot of money blogging, or at least receive free products.  It is a great way to earn a little extra (through ads and sponsored posts) or to try out products for companies and write about them on your blog.  My husband and I are both full-time bloggers and we make a full income blogging.

4-Â GET THINGS FOR FREE! Â You can find these items for free online! Â Â Â
5- Work part time from home doing things in your home, like tutoring or organizing for others. Â Being a transcriptionist is another work-from-home option. Â You can even find a website, like Fiverr.com, that lets people pay you to do odd jobs from home, like editing a book, designing a book cover, etc…
