Often, upon learning about pregnancy, young women panic, because a stable source of income is lost for one and a half to two years. The state of lack of money is frightening with its uncertainty, moreover, if a woman is used to not denying herself anything, the prospect of “tightening her belt tighter” seems completely bleak. However, do not be discouraged, because a young mother can also have a good income. The main thing here is the desire to work.
Instructions
Step 1
When the child is already six months or a year old, you can start looking for work, because the mother has several free hours during the baby's sleep to do some business. If you have an excellent relationship with grandparents who can sit with their grandson for a while, all the more, start actively looking for work or at least a part-time job. Indicate on your resume that you have a small child, a possible work schedule (for example, before lunch), who will look after the baby during your absence. There are many organizations that offer part-time work, especially if it is temporary or seasonal work, and you just might be a real godsend for them.
Step 2
Check out the list of vacancies on various sites on the Internet, implying home or remote work, send your resume. However, you should not rejoice at the first response to your letter, be careful, because the Internet is a fertile field for deceivers. Do not pay any entry fees to anyone, do not send trial abstracts, and even more so things created with your own hands: they will sell profitably under their own brand or surname, and you will be left with nothing. Read the working conditions carefully and do not hesitate to ask questions.
Step 3
In addition, there are many forums on the Internet for young mothers where they share earning opportunities with each other, invite to cooperate and publish "black lists" of employers who cheat workers. Register for several of them, take part in the discussion, ask for help in finding a job and finding a job. There will be women who will respond, accept them into their team and share their experience, which, perhaps, will push you into the opportunity not only to earn money, but also to create your own small business.
Step 4
Handicrafts are so popular all over the world: bijouterie, felted toys and dolls, knitted and custom-made things, postcards and do-it-yourself photo albums. Attend several workshops and create your own signature pieces. If you have previously played sports or worked as a fitness instructor, you can invite other mothers to get back in shape together after childbirth, and the former kindergarten teacher can become a nanny for other babies for a while. In addition, knowledge of languages and the ability to translate various literature, knit children's clothes or interesting models for adults are appreciated - in other words, to show their abilities in various fields. And do not be afraid of lack of experience or competition - doing your job efficiently, in time, you will find clients who will turn to you. You can earn extra money by participating in photo shoots for various children's magazines, writing articles for sites about motherhood and childhood, because freelancing is a great way to keep yourself busy and replenish your piggy bank. The main thing is not to give up, but to use your free time for the benefit of both yourself and your wallet.
