First, you work from home moms (and dads), do not expect to make a normal, at work salary for the hours you put in.
Typically, unless and until your business takes off, you will put in many hours of work for very little pay.
And it takes time to build up your business - whatever it is.
So if you need money fast, go find a normal, work-somewhere-else job.
Can stay at home moms make money while working from home? Yes, most certainly.
But you must be patient and realize it takes time to build up an inventory and/or a clientele to buy from you.
So, what can you do? Do you have any specific skills or hobbies which involve skills? Things like sewing, crocheting, needlepoint, or other types of crafts like clay sculpting, woodcarving, painting, beading or making jewelry? All of these are very viable, work from home skill sets.
If you don't know how to do any of these, you can probably find a local class or workshop which will teach you.
Try and do something you like or think you will like.
Some of the drawbacks to this approach is that it takes time to make whatever it is you are going to sell.
Not only that, it takes money to buy the necessary supplies you will use to make things.
Assuming you have or learn a particular skill and get the materials you need, then you have to build up an inventory.
While you are making many,many items of whatever you are going to sell, take some time to research local craft shows and opportunities.
Most cities have many craft shows which showcase made at home items.
The larger shows require a hefty fee to have a booth there.
Many smaller shows - - like at local schools and churches - - either have a small booth fee or are free for the vendors.
Do your research and find the shows and dates that you want to be a part of.
Then reserve your booth or table, and keep working.
That way, you know for which dates you need to have built up your inventory.
Now, as a secondary idea which may work out better than the crafty thing, there are many on line opportunities out there.
I know because I have bought many of them, and basically, thrown away my money.
However, there are some network marketing opportunities which are fairly easy and very inexpensive.
If you have a network of family and friends, maybe a parents' school or church group, or a group of soccer or little league parents, then here is a great suggestion for a work from home job.
Before starting (or while starting) up a craft project to earn money, start a network marketing deal.
It takes time to build up too, just like it takes time for you to build up a craft inventory.
So if you get this part going so it can grow while you do your crafts, then you have 2 things going at once which will have a payoff for you on down the line.
And hopefully, not too far down the line.
What kind of network marketing are we talking about? There are some which you have to get inventory and have home shows for people to come and buy things.
Those are okay, and I've bought lots of cool, good stuff from those.
But you must buy the inventory to show, and sometimes to sell before getting any payoff.
For folks with a limited amount to invest, this is a problem.
If you have some cash to use up front, there are many food and jewelry marketing opportunities you can find.
I love the food products for Tastefully Simple - OMG.
They are simply great.
But they are expensive.
There is another opportunity which costs only $10 per month and requires no inventory at all.
You just tell your friends and relatives and groups you are involved in about it, and send them to a website to watch a short video.
The company made a number of videos which do all of the selling for you.
If they watch the video and opt in, then you get a monthly payment.
If they get someone to do the same, you get a monthly payment for them too.
This is the kind of work from home job that I would first start.
Then while that is building and more and more people come in, you can work on your crafts.
If you have a large network of friends and family, then you might not even have to do the craft thing.
If you know people who are interested in making extra money, then this is a good opportunity as it is cheap and easy.
If you know people who are interested in helping other people, this is a good way to do that too.
