In many households, one adult works while the other stays home to care for young children. Most of the time, the Dad is the one who works and the Mom stays home with the children. Several years ago, families that did this usually had no problems paying their bills and taking care of their other monetary obligations. These days, however, the economy is much different—and Moms who stay at home often look for ways to bring in extra money.

There are many ways in which Moms who are staying at home to take care of the kids can make cash online. Working at home and earning money online isn’t difficult, and it doesn’t have to be time-consuming. Here are some simple ways in which Moms can make cash online from home:

Sell stock photos

Moms usually have digital cameras to take photos of their children. They can use those same cameras to take other photographs that can be sold for profit. There are several websites which sell photos. Before beginning, it is best to visit these sites to take note of what types of images are selling. People are always looking for photos, and it isn’t necessary to be a professional photographer or to have the most high-tech camera to take great photos. Look for tips on the stock photo websites.

Sell on EBay

Gently used children’s clothing (especially name brand clothing) and baby equipment are often hot sellers on EBay and on other online auction websites. Moms can earn a profit from their unneeded children’s items—and at the same time clear out their household. Of course, other items can also be sold at auction. Because online auctions can be posted at any time of the day or night, this is a great option for busy Moms.

Try Amazon’s Mechanical Turk

This website offers many different types of tasks, most of which can be completed in a minute or two. The downside is that many tasks pay only a few pennies each; however, Moms can complete qualifications to earn access to higher-paying tasks. Some of those tasks pay several dollars each, while still only taking a few minutes to complete. Because these tasks do not require a big time commitment, they can be good for Moms with small children who need a lot of attention.

Blog for pay

Many Moms don’t have the time to start their own blogs. There are many blogging websites, though, which hire people to blog for pay. Moms who are good writers can work for already established blogs to make cash online.

Write articles for pay

Several websites pay for well-written articles on many different subjects. Moms who can write polished articles in a conversational tone may find this to be a good method for earning money online. Some sites pay per article; other sites pay a fee per article as well as a fee based upon how many people view the article.
