How To Make Money While Being A Stay-At-Home Mum

Keen on quitting your job to be a full time stay-at-home mum, yet bring in some dough? Then this article is for you. We will give you some tips on how to make money yet spend your time at home nurturing your babies…

Perhaps it is every mother’s dream to spend every waking moment with their little ones. They want to capture their first word, their first step, their first “eureka” moment.

For some, it may be financially feasible if daddy brings home all the bacon and mummy can be free of monetary responsibilities. But the reality may be way off in most households. Both parents have to bear the burden of bills and the rising standard of living isn’t doing any favours here. 

Even if you have a fairly cushioned life financially, it’s important to keep your financial independence intact. Now, we agree wholeheartedly that it’s not the easiest thing to do in the world. But it’s important to note that there are now more avenues than ever to earn money from home in Singapore.

So, if you wondered how to stay at home and make money, the great news is you can do just that.

If you are already a stay-at-home mum, why not supplement your income. How? We’ll teach you an easy way. Try to open up your e-commerce store.

Success Stories

There have been others that have taken the same route and found success. You can be sure that you aren’t a lost pioneer dabbling in something completely new. Let’s take a look at some inspirational stories of several e-commerce stores. 

What started as MyGlamourPlace, a local blog shop, has now turned into www.mgplabel.com. It originally got so much attention and became so popular that the owner decided to go full time with this and quit her day job. 

Another example is that of Sonal Karamchandani, a stay-at-home mum who runs her blog shop Rashonal, importing intriguing ethnic fusion accessories and clothes from India. She sells her exotic goods online and in exhibitions too. All the above ladies have LiveJournal blogshops.

How To Stay Home And Make Money?

Almost anything under the sun. Ask yourself, what interests you? Do you like baking, cooking, gems, painting, design, fashion? You can provide a scrapbook design service, sell homemade baked goods, clothes, accessories, your kid’s second-hand items and so much more.

Some people enjoy creating their jewellery to sell exclusive pieces in their blogshop, others sell lingerie, figurines or even pottery. Get creative and have fun with it.

How To Set-up An E-Commerce Store?

It isn’t rocket science; don’t worry. It is very easy to set up your e-commerce store. We will give you a quick step by step guide:

  1. Sign up for a LiveJournal account. Click here.
  2. Embed your store into LiveJournal and Facebook.
  3. Tell all your online and offline friends about the store.
  4. Visit LiveJournal’s Facebook fan page and share the link to your store.

If it is a LiveJournal store, we can even help you repost it so that all our fans can see your new store! Spread the word.

Now LiveJournal has a new feature called the LJ Checkout. It is a combined product catalogue, shopping cart and online payment system that will enable you to run your online store across multiple social and blogging platforms without extra effort. Learn about all the benefits here.

Start-up Cost

Now, let’s talk about money and how much you need to put in before you can start. The answer is $0. That’s the best part – you’ll never know how high your earning potential may be. You could even be the next MyGlamourPlace or Dressabelle. We wish you the best of luck!

 

Also! We are currently running a giveaway on 6 months’ worth of diapers for 10 lucky winners! Don’t miss out on saving money!
