Some Work From Home Ideas When Homeschooling

Recently a question was asked in our forum for some ideas of way a homeschool parent can work from home or bring in some sort of extra money. Here are some ideas that were posted I wanted to share with you. 

** Remember these are not success stories or get rich quick schemes. These are just idea offered up by other homeschool parents.  **

First and foremost, it is offered up to anyone that you should pick a job/hobby that you are interested in and you are gifted in. Remember we all are gifted in something and some have more then one gifting. 

--->>  Find something you're passionate about. I know that sounds silly when you actually need income coming in, but its so important.  <--- nbsp="">
  
Work-from-home ideas: You will need to click the attached links open to learn more or contact their consultants linked to this post.

• Virtual Assistant  at  Simple Mom
• Independent Scentsy Consulting
• Etsy Shop  (blogger tip: strongly recommend Etsy if you are good at ANYTHING from cupcakes, to knitting, to digital goods or jewelry making! Personally recommend staying away from direct sales. Here you can make 100% profit vs. only 30-40% that has to go to an upline. Also recommend meeting with a local group to bounce ideas).
• Be direct/social seller - Independent Designer with Origami Owl  or  Origami Owl Consulting
• Work At Home United
• Sell on ebay or amazon
• Avon or Mary Kay  (Please know these two businesses do take a while to kick off. Sales wont happen over night. I sold Avon and found that with the economy dropping, I was spending more money on the cost of magazines to hand out then I brought in so I stopped. That is also with my own website page. Liked selling but just was not working at the time.)
• Paparazzi Accessories  ,  Paparazzi Consulting 
• West, Expert Planet or Liveops  --- It is mostly taking orders when people call to place an order from infomercials.
• Userborne Books Consulting  and  Books Are Fun Homeschool
• Pamper Chef   Pampered Chef Consulting
• Nuskin Consulting
• Young Living Consutling
• Healthy Living Wraps
• Juice Plus Consulting

TIP: Getting started with a company in the home-based business industry is ideal for homeschool moms! In order to be successful in a home-based business, you MUST get professional training.

Some other ideas that were tossed in:

• Tutor Students 
• In Home Child Care
• Before and After School Programs (7:30-8:45a & 3:30-5:30p)
• Foster Children -  This is not just as a means of extra income, this is also a means of learning and teaching the whole family love.
• Fitness Coach (a beachbody consultant or others)
• Photography

Again I want to remind you these are not get rich quick schemes. I am not posting these to back up any of the links. These are links given by other homeschool parents that work from home. If you have any questions, I do recommend contacting the website or consultants in the attached links. Hope this information is useful.

Happy Schooling..
