The Best Freelancing Jobs for Moms
Flexibility, control, and balance — all good things to have when you’re busy with a family.
Many moms and dads may feel their 9 to 5 swallowing them up whole, leaving less time for watching your little ones grow. Why choose a job (that you may not even be passionate about) over loving, bonding experiences with your family? Is it time for a career move?
Yes, it is. There’s no need to go cold-turkey freelancing, but it’s a good time to dip your toes. These freelancing jobs should get you thinking about what you enjoy doing, what you can improve on, and will truly fulfill you.
These careers all have their own levels of required investment, studying, practice, and time that will help you be as talented as you can be in the field. It’s not a one-step solution, but instead a long, beautiful road ahead.
* investment approximations don’t include books or schooling expenses
Photography
Visually creative? Photographers are in high demand. Capture gorgeous moments by shooting portraits or get the rawness of real life by being a photojournalist. There’s many routes you can go, and tons of books and videos available for you to get started. Starting investment: $300 to $500
Web & Software Development
Website managers, application specialists, software engineers, front-end developers, integration engineers, and programmers are all positions that make the tech world around you. If you like following logic and reasoning, this may be the path for you. All you really need is a computer. Starting investment: $200 to $400
Writing
If you have a voice or a way with words, this is for you. You can follow the field of technical writing, copy writing, editing, editorial, erotica, fiction novels, short-stories, poems (yes, there are people today that get paid for writing poems), and script writing. In a world where we’re all consuming words, like on this very site, we need the people that lay them there. Only a computer (for writing, communications, e-publishing) required. Starting investment: $200 to $400
Interior Design
This one may be more of an investment, but the pay-off is huge. Look no further if you have an eye for color, texture, shape, and design. After some schooling (some choose to self-teach) you can design the interiors of restaurants, homes, hotels, offices, and boutiques. To dip your toes, start with a community college that offers interior design courses. The price of your classes will vary, but other than that, a computer will be needed. Starting investment: $200 to $400
Your family will thank your choosing something that speaks to you while still having time to raise them into wonderful, self-starting human beings.
