Selling Jobs for Stay at Home Moms

These are jobs where you sell products to make a profit!

#1 Start an Online Boutique with Drop Shipping

Drop shipping. Chances are you’ve heard this word, but never made the connection that it was a viable stay at home mom job.

What is Drop Shipping?

So what is it? Drop shipping is when you sell a product to a customer without holding the inventory. There are several different drop shipping companies you can work with that will ship the product directly to your customers.

How much do Drop Shippers make?

Some can make millions of dollars a year. Becky at Mom Beach does drop shipping as a side hustle and earns between $5k – $10k profit each month in order to pay off debt. It is up to you how much you can make. The only thing standing between you and success is YOU!

How to drop ship for beginners

Make a Shopify store, sell the product, then buy the product from the drop shipping company who will deliver the product directly to the customer for you.

Shopify has a 2 week free trial going on now when you use our special link.

The money you make is the difference between what you sell the product for and what you spend with the drop shipping company. Check out our guide to learn more about drop shipping, for those that are interested.

We now have a course on how to drop ship and sell wholesale. Check out Online Boutique Beach!

#2 Sell on Etsy

Are you really good at making something? Is there something you’ve made that your friends and family are always complimenting? Consider making these for others and selling them on a site like Etsy.

Etsy is an online global marketplace for unique and creative goods. It can be a great stay at home mom job, but it is definitely something for the long haul. Getting your listings in front of customers can be a challenge as the platform grows, and will require investment of time and energy.

However, if you are ready to put in the work (in addition to creating products to sell) then it can be a profitable stay at home mom job.

#3 Sell on Amazon FBA

People every day sell items that they found on clearance with Amazon. What they do is go to a store that is having a sale and check if the item is going for 3 times as much on Amazon.

If Amazon is selling the item for more, they will then buy as much as they can of the item. This is called retail arbitrage.

Then, they will ship all of the items directly to Amazon in a box. Amazon then fulfills the orders for them and they can then collect the profits.

In order to make their store listing stand out, they use keywords in their item’s title and description.

It is a great idea to take professional photographs of the item as well so your listing stands out.

#4 Sell a Slogan

Are you a talented wordsmith that can come up with witty jingles? You may want to look into selling slogans to Slogan Seller.

Slogan Seller pays moms and everyone else for slogans that companies can use to promote themselves.

What slogans are currently stuck in your head? I bet whoever wrote them got paid a bundle!

#5 Flea Market Flipper

Do you ever go to flea markets in your area and score huge deals? Have you thought of reselling those items on eBay or Craigslist? Then, consider being a flea market flipper.

I have flipped several items that I have found on Craigslist for free. There is a freebies section on Craigslist where people give away items that they don’t need. If you are the first to answer, then you can usually get the item.

On the weekends, you could look for garage sales in your area to purchase low-cost items to flip.

This is a great stay at home mom job because the hours are so flexible. You can schedule when you’d like to work and even bring the kids with you.

#6 Flip Phones

Selling old phones is a great way to make money online as a stay at home mom. Check out my article on phone flipping to learn more about how to flip phones. I used to do this before I got married in my spare time.

#7 Sell T-Shirts with Printify Print on Demand

Consider making a print on demand store with Shopify and then sell your designs with the Printify plugin. It is super easy to install. You can get a 2 week free trial with Shopify by going here.

Get your designs from Design Bundles, Creative Fabrica, or The Hungry Jpeg for very cheap. Choose SVG files to upload to Printify and then decide if you want then to be on T-Shirts, dresses, or anything else.

#8 Blogging

Starting a blog is a great option for stay at home moms. Getting started is easy, but it’s not for the faint of heart. In order to actually make money from a blog it will take both time and commitment, but can be extremely rewarding.

What is a blogger?

A blogger uses WordPress or other content management system to write articles.
Many of us have that knack for a certain aspect of life, whether it is:

• finances
• cooking
• travel
• fitness

Blogging allows us to not only share our story and our knowledge, but can generate some decent income (even passive income!) with a bit of work.

How much do bloggers make?

The sky is the limit. It could take you several months to make anything, however. This blog has made $100 thus far and is 5 months old. You can view our latest income report to see how we made that money.

How to start a blog for beginners?

Hosting is very cheap with BlueHost. With our special link, you can save big time at $3.95 a month.

Check out our very detailed guide on starting a blog.

#9 Create an Online Course

You must have a skill that you can do better than anyone you know.

This could be cooking, crafting, social media marketing, writing, organizing, decluttering, cleaning or anything else.

How about selling a course to help others? You can create a beautiful user-friendly course with ease by using Teachable.

After your course is all set up, you can then market your course by using Pinterest. Just create 800 x 1200 pins in Canva.com to get the word out about your course. Pin the pins to keyworded boards that reflect what your course is about.

If you’d like, you could even spend a few dollars to promote your course pins using Pinterest, but that is up to you.

Click here to start creating a course on Teachable!

#10 Become a photographer

If you love taking pictures then consider becoming a professional photographer.

Talented photographers are high in demand to shoot weddings, birthdays, baby showers, parties, and several other occasions.

You could even sell your photos to a stock photo site and make passive income.

#11 Graphic Designer

Graphic design is a lucrative industry to be a part of. You could offer your services on Fiverr or check out remote jobs on FlexJobs for graphic design.

I have my Bachelors of Fine Arts in Graphic design, which took me 6 years to complete. However, graphic designers do not need a degree. It is all about your portfolio of work. You can use tutorial sites like Lynda.com to take online courses to learn how to be a graphic designer. Many of these courses have projects you can follow along with so you can build up your portfolio.

Kara Fidd of SimplyingDIYDesign has a low-cost workshop on learning graphic design principles.

Check out our interview with Kara!

#12 UX Designer

Currently, I work as a UX designer and work remotely half of the workweek. Some weeks I work from home exclusively so that I can care for my child during the day.

If you have a graphic design background like I do, then becoming a UX designer is a snap. The UX design software, Sketch App and Adobe XD, is easy to learn and there are free videos on YouTube that you can learn from.

Check out Dribbble.com and search “UX Design” to see popular designs to draw inspiration from. I suggest creating a redesign of an existing app or website to make it more user-friendly to build up your portfolio.

You could offer freelance work on Fiverr or volunteer for a non-profit to build up your portfolio. On FlexJobs, there are several remote UX Design jobs available.

#13 Musician

Nowadays, you don’t need a music contract to get started in the music business.

Several stars like Justin Bieber got discovered on YouTube and more self-publish their music on Itunes and Soundcloud.

You could even build a following for my music on Instagram, Facebook or other social media!

There really is no limit to the success you can achieve if you are musically talented.

#14 Freelance Writer

Fiverr is an awesome place to get hired as a freelance writer. Freelance writing is perfect for stay at home moms because you can write anywhere, even with a pad of paper and a pencil.

When your kids are asleep, you can type up your manuscript and send it off to clients. I have done freelance writing myself for online clients!

You can charge hourly or by the word when you are a freelance writer. I charge clients 5 cents a word when I write articles. A 2,000-word article will net me $100!

Those with more writing experience can charge more money. Get started on Fiverr today!

#15 Interior Designer

If you have an eye for design, then consider becoming an interior designer. This is a highly rewarding stay at home mom job.

#16 Web Designer

Before I got married, I worked as a web designer for a small marketing business. It can be a great way to make money online from home. You don’t even need to know HTML or CSS. You can start using Wix.com to make drag and drop websites for businesses.

#17 Digital Artist

Do you like to paint or draw? Consider being a digital artist. Get a graphics tablet from Wacom and software such as Adobe Photoshop or Corel Painter. I am a digital artist myself and you can find my art at my Deviantart. You can then sell your art at anime conventions, like I used to do, or on Etsy.

Start Your Own Business

You can choose to start a business with any of the job types on the list. Here are some fun business ideas:

#18 Start a Gift Shopping Business

A great job to start during the holidays is a gift shopper. I have done this for several years and have made thousands of dollars.

What I do is post an ad on local Facebook groups for moms and ask if anyone needs help shopping for Christmas.

I then get replies from other moms who then hire me to shop for them. Clients pay me 20% of the total gift price and use my Chase Rewards card to buy the items.

Chase Rewards gives me cashback on top of what I make from gift shopping because the clients usually pay me by PayPal or cash.

Click here to sign up for Chase Rewards to start getting cash back!

#19 Life Coach Business

For those moms who enjoy helping others, then life coaching is a rewarding career.

What a life coach does is help their clients with their relationships and personal goals. Do your friends always ask you for relationship advice? Then, being a life coach may be for you.

If you are serious about becoming a life coach, then you need to get certified. Get your life coaching certification here!

#20 Start a Home Daycare Business

Wouldn’t it be great to take care of adorable little ones all day including your own? Then, starting a home daycare may be for you.

It is important that you get CPR certified because it gives parents peace of mind and they will trust you more with their children.

If you are only watching 1 or 2 children, then you don’t need a daycare license. However, if you are watching more children then you will need to get licensed. According to ChildCare.gov, licensing laws vary by state. To get licensing requirements for your particular state, search “your state + daycare license” in Google to find your states licensing process.

A great software to help manage your home daycare business is Daycare Manager Pro!

#21 Start a Cleaning Business

Several busy people need someone to clean their homes because they don’t have the time. If you enjoy cleaning and helping people, then this is a great business for you. You could start this business with a family member or a friend and clean homes together.

Those moms who have older children can even help clean homes too! I think this would be a good business for moms with teens especially.

#22 Party Planning Business

Sarah Combs at Sarah Combs Events is a party planner and a new mom. If you are a mom who loves planning parties, then consider becoming a party planner. It’s a fun job with great rewards.

Most of the time formal training is not necessary, but there are some available. Again, as mentioned with other jobs in this list, there are platforms, like Liveworld, to help you find online moderator positions or you can offer services on your own.
