While on maternity leave, women cannot go to work, which means that they have no opportunity to earn money. However, this is not quite true. Currently, there are various ways to earn money, and at home.
Work for needlewomen
Many mothers, caring for a baby, begin to do needlework. They knit, embroider, sew, make ornaments. If you are one of them, start making money from it. Now handicrafts are very popular among people, for example, you can knit to order, make jewelry from polymer clay, sew accessories from satin ribbons (kanzashi). You can advertise your work using friends, social networks, thematic sites.
Work in education
Are you well versed in any area of science? Start earning money by tutoring. Such services are in great demand before passing exams at school, admission to institute. Classes can be held not only at home, but also via Skype.
You also have the opportunity to earn money by solving tests, writing term papers and abstracts. For example, if you worked as an accountant before maternity leave, you can custom-make practical assignments that are given to students in universities. Clients can be found through advertisements, the Internet and companies looking for customers and performers.
Do you like to write poetry, write stories? Make money from copywriting, that is, writing articles. Currently, there are many exchanges, sites that buy texts from talented authors. The main thing is that these texts are unique, interesting and informative!
Work for active people
Another way of earning money for a young mother is joint purchases. Your role will be to find customers, suppliers, order and follow-up. That is, you are looking for suppliers, customers, create a group on social networks or create a website, display product photos, negotiate the price, terms of purchase, payment and delivery. Before starting to work in this direction, conduct an analysis of the audience, the area. For example, if you want to sell expensive branded clothing in an area where the average salary is less than RUB 10,000, your activity is likely to be unprofitable.
Work for creative people
