Extra Income Ideas - OptionsYour options to generate extra income will of course depend on your situation. Are you a single parent? How much available time do you have? Do you need flexible hours? Of course there are the traditional ideas - seeking employment by working for someone else away from your home. This includes retail shops, offices, doctors/dentists, manufacturing plants or warehouses. I think you get the idea. Usually the best way to find these jobs is to look in the classifieds of your local paper or online. The flip side of this is to telecommute. Depending on the company, you may be hired as an employee or they will hire you as an independent contractor. But we believe the best thing is to start your own business. After all, profits are better than wages according to Jim Rohn. When going this route, you have options of starting an online business, offline or a combination of both. And since these are extra income ideas we are talking about, we'll stick to home based ideas...this includes home bound meaning you can work in your pajamas. :) When home based in mentioned, most think direct sales (also called network marketing). The most recognized ones include Avon, Mary Kay and Tupperware. There are literally thousands of direct sales companies available in many different genres. These usually require a low investment, allow flexibility and a turn-key system (training, marketing materials, websites, etc.) The direct sales model is also a proven system. However, you get out of it what you put into it. Doing something you enjoy in this industry is one of the keys to success. The good thing is there are many options to choose from.
WAHM: Your Ticket to Being Home with the Kids & Earning an Income for Your FamilyHave you ever dreamed of a job where you could spend time with your family and earn money at the same time? Most traditional jobs don’t offer that. But, becoming a WAHM could be your ticket to your dream. But, before embarking on such a quest, here is some helpful information detailing what it’s all about. WAHM? Just what do these letters stand for? WAHM stands for Work At Home Mom. Over the past 20 years, more and more women have come out of the workplace and gone back into the home. Women with careers had a difficult path to follow. Besides working longer hours to achieve the same pay and credibility as their male counterparts, most also had to contend with the housework and the kids. After a long day at the office and doing the household chores, the kids sadly got what was left over which was usually a very worn out mother. That has since changed. WAHMs are proving everyday that women can contribute to the family financial situation and nurture their families. Both online and off, a network of support has been created for any woman who wants to consider an option that will help them meet their needs. How to get started? When you talk to your family about the possibility, you want to have an idea of the direction you will take. Check out Nicole Dean's Just Add Sweat for a good starting point of extra income ideas.

Opportunities First, figure out your interests and skills. Your extra income ideas should follow these. WAHMs can find business opportunities to work for someone else doing everything from audio transcription to writing articles to accounting.

Combine that with affiliate or search engine marketing to generate revenue. Making it work With new career comes the issue of balance between home and work. Just because you are home doesn’t mean you won’t need help around the house or time away from the kids in order to work. Consider these tips for creating a balance: • Develop a set schedule for work and play on a weekly basis When it comes to extra income ideas, there are advantages to being a WAHM.
