I meet moms who are good at things all the time. Moms who sew baby carriers, clothes for nursing, and cloth diapers... Moms who use herbs to make their own skin care products, healing balms, and similar things. (Women who can do things like this make me pretty jealous!)
Or maybe they are really good at coming up with interesting lesson plans or plans for their home school. I know moms who raised big families of grown kids and could make a million dollars if they wrote a book about how they did it.
I'll sometimes ask these women if they've ever thought about using their interest or hobby to make money on the Internet. People usually say things like, "I have no idea how to build a website" or "I have no idea how to market my business online."
Still, you might know a lot of things that could make you money on the Internet. Or you might be good at something like sewing. Even if you don't have a physical product to sell, you can still make money online by selling other people's products through Direct Sales, Affiliate Marketing, or Drop Shipping.
Why not turn your knowledge into a business that could make you some money?
Many Moms think it's hard to start a business on the Internet, but that's not true. You can use a "What you see is what you get" html editor if you don't know how to build a website. HTML is the language that web designers use to write code. But you don't need to know it to make a website. WYSIWYG editors for HTML are as easy to use as word processors. You can build a website if you can write a nice email or letter.
Some website hosts even give you professional-looking website templates and beautiful stock photos, so you don't even need to hire a web designer to get a great-looking site online.
Also, there are online resources that can teach you what you need to know to get people to your website and market yourself. Why not ask around on a message board for work-at-home moms to find out what other business-owning moms suggest for learning these techniques?
If you only have a small budget, don't let that stop you from making a website. You can buy a domain name and website hosting for a year for less than $25. As you start to make money, you can put it back into tools and education that will help you make even more money.
Never before has it been so easy to start a business on the Internet. Don't let fear or not knowing how to do something stop you from making the money you want. Reach out and ask for help, and you'll be back on your feet in no time.
