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.
