Surviving Motherhood One Mess at a Time
When people find out that I blog for a living most of them assume I have a “real” job too. The first question I get when they find out that blogging IS my real job is “How do you actually make money doing that?”.
I’ve written out income reports in the past, but they don’t give the full picture. I do earn an income through my blog, but blogging has also opened up other opportunities for me because of the skills I’ve learned and the connections I’ve made.
Guilt seems to go right alongside with being a working mom. Whether you work at home, work in an office or work part-time, there’s always something to feel guilty about. One mom who understands this all too well is Jessica Turner, blogger and author of Stretched Too Thin: How Working Moms Can Lose the Guilt, Work Smarter, and Thrive.
Affiliate marketing is a great way to work from home. A huge portion of my income comes from affiliate marketing. If you work as an affiliate marketer and are looking for new products or services to promote, the ShareASale Merchant Discovery Box is a great way to try out new products for yourself.
When you think of direct sales, your first reaction may be, “nope, nope nope!”.
I get it. For a long time, that was my reaction too. I’d been turned off by too many pushy sales pitches and friends I hadn’t talked to in 15 years contacting me just to “catch up” and “oh do you want to buy my products”.
The reality is though, there are so many moms making a GOOD living in direct sales and it is very possible to sell without being obnoxious. One of the fastest growing and most profitable direct sales companies out there right now is SeneGence, the parent company of LipSense.
Have you been thinking about starting a blog? If you have, you may be a bit overwhelmed by everything that is involved in getting a new blog set up.
The good news is it’s not quite as overwhelming as it seems. Speaking as someone who tends to be a bit technically challenged, I promise, if you want to start a blog, you can do this.
I’ve been blogging for over ten years and, what started as a hobby that gave me an outlet while I was a new stay at home mom with young kids turned into a career that now fully supports my family of 8.
Blogging has been an amazing work at home job for me and there’s so much potential for you too.
