Looking for a stay at home mom side hustle? It can be an overwhelming feeling to need more than one income. Before we get started on some ideas of how you can create a stay at home mom side hustle, let’s turn to scripture. Shall we?

“The earth and everything in it, the world and its inhabitants, belong to the Lord.”

Psalm 24:1

This post is all about stay at home mom side hustle.

Isn’t it encouraging for you to know that everything belongs to the Lord? This verse reminds me to give him back what is already his. It takes the pressure off of trying to do it all on my own. a sweet reminder to let the Lord guide this my life of mine because I have given it to him.

God can be right of the middle of your side hustle too. You might be starting a side hustle as a hobby, just for fun. Or you might be needing to bring some money in and get it in fast(I know the feeling). Before jumping into a side hustle for moms, it is most important to take a deep look into your finances and see the areas where you need the extra income. Being a stay at home mom for some families might require some sacrifices. It looks frugal and minimal but is so worth it allowing the opportunity to stay home with the babies.

For example, setting up a family budget will be a useful tool as it allows you to see where in the world your money is going!! I once heard, “You have to tell your money where to go.” This has been the best mindset for our family budget. You might find areas where you can save a little more. Unfortunately, this might require fewer trips to Target(I AM GUILTY). Becoming a stay at home mom has taught me to be extremely grateful for the things I have and the things I look forward to buying. It makes it a special treat to go get the nice shirt you worked well to save and steward the money well for.

Adding a side hustle can help bring in the income you are desiring for the lifestyle you are wanting to live. Side hustles are a great way to get out of debt. Living debt free will help create a more peaceful mindset for the things you are looking forward to buying than the stressful thinking of always having to pay something off.

Creating a side income with any of the ideas below can be something that can eventually turn into a full-time income. Just think about it, becoming a YouTuber, a social media marketer, or a full-time blogger. All of these jobs have the potential. Without a doubt, it will take work. If you want to see large results it will take discipline and constancy.

Creating a successful stay at home mom side hustle is not easy. The best way to start any of these side hustles is to be prayerful and seek wisdom from God. He is the provider in all things and through him, we are strengthened as we Glorify him with the things we do to fill our days.

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”

Romans 8:28

How can I make money as a stay-at-home mom?

Let’s cut to the chase here. You are a mom who wants(needs) to make a little bit of money. Being a mom has its challenges. I pray for financial challenges to be overcome in your household so you may be blessed in numerous ways.

Stay at home mom side hustle ideas

Blogging

Starting off with, in my opinion, one of the best and rewarding ways to make money. I am going to be real with you. Blogging takes so much time! If you are wanting to make money fast. Sorry, but this is not the stay at home mom side hustle for you. I have done the research on blogging for you. It will take about 6 months to 1 year to see a steady income. Blogging can create passive income in the future with ads, affiliate marketing, sponsored post, etc. Once your blogging site starts gaining a good amount of traffic it can be a time to think about adding in digital products to sell. However, I believe it is still worth it(or I wouldn’t be writing this blog post). This side hustle is a marathon, not a sprint. The best advice I can give to you about starting a blog is to be consistent, buy courses from SUCCESSFUL bloggers, and don’t give up.

Dog Walking

Dog walking is a great side hustle for moms. Specifically, new moms. When the baby is still young, the mom can manage to push the baby in the stroller with one hand and hold the dog leash in the other. Babies love to be outside. It is also great for the mom to get some fresh air with a little exercise as you walk the pup. This is perfect way to bring in the cash all at the same time. Bonus tip: advertise your dog walking stay at home mom side hustle at a large apartment complex. If you get a few clients in the same area you can walk multiple dogs at once or get a few dogs out on a walk in less than two hours.

At Home Daycare

Don’t want to send your kids to daycare? No problem create your own. If you love kids this might be the best gig for you. Of course, there are some legal sides(paperwork, licensing, etc.). This might be a full-time or part-time side hustle for moms. As you may already know daycare is extremely expensive. If you have a friend or two who sends their little ones to daycare offer to watch them a day or two throughout the week for a cheaper price. Other parents appreciate your efforts to help them out financially and you get to benefit from it too. Not to mention, parents might have a better peace of mind knowing their baby is safe with someone who knows their kid well.

Virtual Assistant

Being a virtual assistant could be a great way to earn some cash. Depending on the age of your kids, will help determine the best schedule that will work for you. From there you will need to determine the amount of time you can offer to those looking to hire assistants. Since the pandemic of 2020 more and more people have found the work from home/remote jobs to be more common and manageable. I advise looking on Indeed and LinkedIn for Virtual Assistant jobs as a stay at home mom side hustle.

Social Media Marketing

What is your favorite social media app? Instagram(mine), TikTok, Facebook, Youtube, Pinterest? All of these apps are used to market companies and get people to buy their products. Lots of small businesses need help growing their business but neglect social accounts. Businesses are missing out on the opportunities to grow in this capacity. This can be a perfect opportunity to help grow a business account and to manage it on your own time. The best time to work is before the kids wake up, during nap times, and after they go to sleep. Start out small with only a few clients to gain you confidence and book of business on your own.

Freelance Work

Have you heard of Upwork? This freelance work has numerous ways to get work and fast. One-time, short-term, and long-term job opportunities are available. Jobs for resume writing, blog posts, social media jobs, job description writing, online tutoring, product reviews, and so much more. The hiring process is determined by the specific hiring manger. Time can vary once a job proposal is submitted to when you will hear back.

Transcribe

Are you good at typing? If you are a fast typer, with good spelling then this is a great pick for you. I would even say perfect for my bilingual friends reading. But you do not have to be a bilingual person to transcribe. A lot of businesses and churches need people to document sermons, meetings, public speaking messages, etc. Perfect for moms to put their headphones in and write away(puny) and get to work. Again, this type of work can be a side hustle for moms of all ages. This type of job can be worked into your schedule in the early hours of the morning or if you a night owl, the late hours of the night.

Etsy Shop

Are you a creative person? Create a Etsy shop. There are so many different ideas out there of how your shop can bring in some money. You might be good at making jewelry, wall decor, calligraphy, homemade cards, digital art work, stickers, mugs, candles. The list is endless! Of course, with projects like this the products you are making have to something you are good. Obviously or no one will buy it. It is definitely recommended for the products you are creating are not too time consuming. If it takes you over an hour to create something that is $4.99. Sorry to break it to you, but you might be wasting your time. Be sure to calculate your ROI(return on investment) for the best results for you as a stay at home mom side hustle.

YouTube

Create a Youtube Channel. Youtube is a great way to create passive income. Youtube has similarities to blogging and social media marketing. It is a lot more work than you think. I highly suggest creating videos similar to the ones you like to watch. For example, I love watching Vlogs, and workout videos. The amount of work YouTubers spend on their videos show by the quality of their video. It won’t be perfect at first but learn as you go. Once again, this type of race is not a sprint but a marathon. YouTubers are able to make money through ads, affiliate links, brand deals, sponsored videos, etc.

TikTok

There are so many different mommy accounts on TikTok. Think about what you are good at. Some ideas could be how you decorate your home, packing aesthetic lunches for your kids, and workout videos. You can share words of encouragement, and projects you are working on. Or your journey of motherhood. Again, do something that brings you joy and something that you will be consistent at for the best results you are hoping for. Best advice for this stay at home mom side hustle is to be authentic. Of course people are going to like you. In reality, there will be some(only some) people who won’t like your content. That’s okay. Keep putting content out there and you will see the results with time.

Graphic Design

Graphic design is huge in the business world. Think about a company logo. Or if you search for anything on Pinterest. Those are all graphics! Look for these types of jobs on Upwork, Indeed, or Linkedin. More on the bold side, but if you see a local business struggling with its graphics ask to set up a meeting with a manger to show them how you can help them. This can be a great networking idea because once you get one gig it can turn into multiple gigs. This type of freelance work is perfect for a stay at home mom side hustle because mom can take as many clients as she can handle. Also, as you build the book of business you can negotiate and set hiring prices creating a well deserved side hustle income.
