Provide value and grow your audience by staying consistent.This site you on right now supports our family as well as many other contractors and freelancers. If you create great content, monetize properly and keep at it you can create a lifestyle business and escape the 9-5. And there a plethora of ways to make money with a website.
affiliate marketing is the most popular way to make money online. Simply put, affiliate marketing is when you get paid to send an existing business a customer and you get paid if this customer must convert into an actual sale.
You can also sell information to your readers. If you write a travel site, for example, you could write a series of city guides and charge people to download them.
You can design courses and charge for access to those. In fact, plenty of bloggers sell classes on how to make money blogging.
Since you are starting out, it will take a bit for your site to gain some traction. Sorry but that’s the truth for 99.99% of all new bloggers for the first few months. That means we’re going to optimize for cost and efficiency.
When it comes to finding the highest quality host for the lowest price HostGator wins hands down. Depending on the day it’s between $2.75 and $3.95/month for the tier you need.
Of course, it’s not that easy. It takes hard work to grow a blog or authority site into a revenue-generating behemoth. Why?
Because you’ve got to have the patience, professionalism, and willingness to think of it as a long-term investment. The profit potential is enormous, but it takes time.
Also, leveraging a social media platform that’s relevant to your niche can help accelerate spreading your message.

It can be a tough decision for one parent to stay home after having a child. Sometimes the math of going back work just doesn’t work out though.

A work at home online job for the stay at home parent can be an ideal solution. A parent is home with the baby and still able to bring in some money at the same time.
Dropshipping
Does this word confuse you as it does me? Are you telling me I don’t have to keep the inventory of my products? Am I just a storefront? Whaaat?? Sounds too good to be true.But, yeah. That’s it. Let me explain…
Here’s how it works:
- It’s an online store run by you.
- Customers place orders with you.
- You, the online store owner, forward the customer’s order to your supplier (they’re the ones that hold all the inventory).
- Your supplier (aka drop shipper) packages and ships the order to your customer on your behalf.
You don’t have to build a website; you can set up your online store with Shopify. Shopify even lets the most tech-challenged amongst us to have a beautiful online store up and running in no time at all.It has everything you need to sell online or on social media.
Worth a look:
- HostGator

eBay
I put this one at the top of the list as an excellent online job for a stay at home parent because kids outgrow things so quickly, their clothes, toys and all the gear they require.Why not sell that stuff on eBay? A lot of parents buy second-hand baby and kid supplies because they are so often hardly used and cost a fraction of what new things would cost.
There is also no shortage of free baby and kid stuff you can sell once you run out of your own. People just give it to you, you can find it at yard sales, thrift stores, and even for free on sites like Facebook and Craigs List.
Once you’ve been selling for awhile, you will get a sense of what people are buying and can expand into other areas if you choose.
eBay will help you price out shipping costs, and you can choose to include that in the price of your item and offer it with free shipping. There are several ways you can be paid after eBay sales. There are also several types and levels of commission that eBay takes as their cut of each transaction.

Etsy
Way back in the early days of LMM we interviewed Mary Lynn Schroeder who runs the #1 rated leather shop on Etsy. Mary Lynn started her Etsy shop while she was working full time and it eventually became her full-time job with eight employees and more than 300 wholesalers.You may not think you’re good at making the kinds of things you think of when you think of Etsy, items like jewelry, clothes, and paintings but there are so many other products. Spice rubs, pottery, bookmarks, pillows. Surely there is something you are good at making or could become good at making.

Website Building
Sure you could bid for these types of jobs on sites like Upwork and Guru, but you’ll be up against a lot of competition. A much better way to get your website building side hustle off the ground is to target small businesses in your area.Nearly 60% of small businesses have no website. This is a significant opportunity for you and them. How many of us want to see a business’s website before deciding if we’re going to patronize it?
At the very least I want to know a business’s hours and prices. If I have two choices and one has a site, and the other doesn’t, I patronize the place with a site because I know at least a little something before I go.
Another benefit of targeting these small businesses is that you don’t have to be some master website builder to get their business. Even doing a bare-bones site can improve their sales so you can learn and get better as you go.
You can even start out using simple drag and drop site building services like Squarespace and Wix to build client sites.

Not having to go into an office each day allows workers to claw back the equivalent of eleven days a year. It saves them about $4,000 per year because they are saving money on work-related expenses like commuting and dry cleaning.
Telecommuting benefits employers too. Allowing employees to work from home at least part-time saves them over $11,000 per year. It also increases productivity and reduces attrition.
There are so many options out there for online work beyond data entry jobs or being a freelance writer.
Whether you are a student looking to make some extra money or an office drone looking to break out and turn your side hustle into a full-time gig, there is an online job out there for you.
