Every time I see an article about making money from home it getsmy attention. After reading this article I was pleased the authorlisted as her top two ways to make money from home asblogging and affiliate marketing. Why? Because I’m doing thosetwo right now! I didn’t see any reference to network marketingwhich in truth is somewhat like affiliate marketing.

Bottom line for me is the two top endeavors that I am currentlydoing and plan on continue doing are on this list! But if bloggingor network/affiliate marketing are not for you, there are manyother ways to make money from home and most of them arepretty simple to accomplish. If you’re interested in my bloggingbusiness opportunity, click here for information. Or if you’reinterested in network marketing I’m involved in the e-commerce field with Dubli.

Whatever you decide to do from home I wish you good luck and much success. As always your comments areappreciated and welcomed.

Being a stay-at-home mom or dad is a full-time job, but it doesn’t pay a full-time paycheck. This makes it difficult forsome one-income families to earn enough money to pay for things they need, let alone grow their savings. Good newsis, there are ways to earn money without leaving the house or sacrificing your time with the kids. These opportunitiesenable you to make some cash while your children are at school, asleep, or even while they’re home and wide awake!

Keep in mind that working from home requires self-discipline, organization, and focus (here are my favorite books ongetting it all done with less stress). It’ll take a bit of trial and error to figure out what works best for you, and you mustbe driven to keep going even when you feel like giving up, or if others question your decisions. But the effort is worthit. I know this because I’ve been working for myself since 1996, and it’s rubbed off on my son, who recently startedexperimenting with ways to earn money from home; without interfering with his school or activities! If you have a teenlooking to make some extra cash, check out this list!

So without further ado, I present to you the big list of flexible ways for stay at home moms and dads to earn extra cashon the side… or if you’re really motivated, earn a full time income!

1. Make Money With Your BlogJust about everyone’s got a blog now, right? Heck, I have more than I can count with both hands!

2. Affiliate MarketingDid you know that you don’t even need to have your own products or services to earn a hefty paycheck? This is thebeauty of affiliate marketing. You promote other people’s stuff and when someone buys, you collect a cut of the saleprice! That’s it. No need to carry an inventory, deliver the product, or provide support to the customers! Where do youpromote affiliate products? On your blog, social media, articles you write… pretty much anywhere! Here are somepopular networks that offer ad links to earn some cash from:

Rakuten Linkshare – My favorite network.

It may not seem much, but stick it in a savings accountand that’s $50 more than what you had before!

16. Get Paid for Being a FriendWhoever said money can’t buy friendship has never heard of Rent a Friend! I’m not even kidding. You go to theirwebsite and offer your friendship for $10 to $50 per hour. You set your own price and what types of activities you’reavailable for! The website clearly states that it is NOT a dating site, but a service offering companionship; someone toshow you around an unfamiliar town, for example.

It’s not something you can really do from home, unless what you’re offering is home-based, such as teaching your“new friend” to bake or scrapbook from your home (not something I’d personally recommend). However, earningmoney to show someone the best local restaurants for a few hours or helping them shop for gifts isn’t such a bad wayto make extra cash while the kids are at school! Some users claim to earn over $2000 a week full time, and otherswho just work on the weekends and make $500.

17. Drive People Around for $35/hourThat’s how much you can make with Lyft, a service that eliminates the need to use taxis. You drive your own car, setyour own working hours, and earn $35 per hour.

18. Get Paid to Help People Learn a LanguageTeachers on Italki set their own prices, teach only when they’re available, and work from home! And you’re not limitedto only English. They’re also looking for people to teach Japanese, French, Italian, Spanish and more. You’re free tofocus on teaching because the service handles scheduling, marketing, payments and so on.

19. Get Cash Back by Scanning Your ReceiptsWe all buy groceries on a regular basis, so why not get back some extra cash from it? Ibotta makes it simple. Shop forproducts at your favorite store (Over 146 supported stores including: Walmart, Target, Best Buy, and Walgreens!),scan your product barcodes, submit a photo of your receipt, and get cash back within 48 hours!

20. Set Up an Online StoreYou can now profit from your own online store from the comfort of your home, and setting it up is extremely easy!Many people make decent part-time and full-time income with online storefronts. Here are a few of my favorites:

21. Become a Field AgentGet paid to do various tasks around town for clients. Assignments at Field Agent usually involve checking prices,scanning barcodes with your mobile phone, and conducting surveys. Your earnings vary and depend on theassignment and locction. For example, one listing offers $9 for 4 pictures of any products in the toothbrush section atyour local Target, while another pays $5 for one picture of a $19.99 & under game display from any Toys “R” Us.

22. Find and Post Odd Jobs on CraigslistLocal peeps are looking for help with things like walking their dogs, clearing out their email inbox, landscaping, andhouse painting all the time!

26. Drop Shipping = No Inventory and No OverheadThis is such a simple and cost effective solution for bringing in some extra cash. I’ve personally tried this in the past,and will probably have my teenage son experiment with this too! Here’s how it works:

Choose a product to sell online, like Ebay (let’s say it’s a computer mouse that costs you $2)Mark up the price and list it for $15

When it’s sold, you send the drop shipper your buyer’s information, including the $2. You keep the remaining $13!Drop shipper ships it directly to your customer!Rinse and repeat!Here’s a big list of drop shippers for a huge variety of products that you can search through!

27. Sell Your PhotosYou no longer need to open a studio to make some extra cash as a photographer. There are plenty of sites looking tobuy digital photos.
