Work from Home Jobs for Moms
Work from home jobs are on the rise.

It’s a movement that’s currently disrupting the traditional workforce, and I’m on board.

If you’re self-motivated and disciplined, starting a career working from home would be perfect for you because that’s all it really takes.

There are so many different areas that will save you money when you work from home.  You’ll save on gas, lunches, daycare (maybe), clothing, saving time from the daily commute, and much more. Today I’m going to share my work from home job along with 15 other work from home jobs that pay well.

Not long ago, I was expecting my second child and desperate to leave my 9-5 for something that was flexible enough to work around my kid’s schedule, but I didn’t know what to do.

I was looking for some work from home jobs from people who were doing it today successfully, but I couldn’t find any.

I decided to reach out to work from home moms and interview them to see what they did, how they got started, how they were able to do it with kids, and most importantly how much they were able to earn working from home.

I created this website to share their stories in an article I wrote on Stay at Home Mom Jobs.

So the jobs on this list are definitely work from home jobs for moms and for anyone who is looking for legitimate work from home jobs.

I’ve done the research so you won’t have to. These real work from home jobs have all been tried and tested and the companies I recommend all have a 4/5-star rating or higher from Glassdoor.

Blogging should be #1 on this list because it’s what I do and I LOVE it, but I understand it’s not for everyone.

Blogging is one of my favorite forms of passive income. I make money just for people reading my articles from ads, so if you’re reading this article, thank you :-).

I can assure you, I did not write this article today and yet it’s making me money. I also make money by partnering with companies and becoming an “Affiliate”.

Affiliate Marketing is when you promote a product or service online and if someone makes a purchase through your referral link, you get a commission. I discuss Affiliate Marketing more here and how April Lewis makes $6,000 a month in Affiliate Commissions!

Blogging takes ‘A LOT’ of work, but it’s so rewarding if you hang in there.

11. Work from Home Freelance Jobs
15 of the Best Work from Home Jobs that Pay Well

Freelance jobs are the best work from home jobs. You deliver a service for a fee with the ability to work where and when you want with unlimited earning potential!

I have found many freelance jobs on Upwork. I sift through the available work options to see which project suits me the best.

I only apply to the jobs I KNOW I can do well because after the project is over its important that I get a good review so I can continue to get more jobs.

I suggest the following when applying to jobs on Upwork:

Focus on the projects with only 5-10 proposals or less submitted (less competition)
Check that the client has the “blue verified payment check” before applying
When you see a job that fits you, apply for it immediately!
If you live in the U.S., make sure to check “U.S. Only.”
If you are pitching your first job, try to offer your services for free for one week to ease the client’s mind since you have no references or reviews. If the client likes you move on with the “paid service” the following week. That’s how I won my first job, and the client still paid me for my first week.
For a full list of freelance services you can provide on Upwork click here

12. Travel Agent
Best Work from Home Jobs that Pay Well

Do you love to travel and enjoy helping people? Consider working from home as a Travel Agent and enjoy the perks.

How much can I make? Glassdoor states the typical salary ranges from $29,000 to $58,000 a year, but it all depends on experience and number of clients.

How do I get started? You can either start your own business or work for an agency, Sarah B. who started her own Travel Agency tells us how to do both.

13. Search Engine/Social Media Evaluator
Search Engine/Social Media Evaluator rate social media ads and search engine results for relevancy.

This is a legitimate work from home job with no startup fee and it’s great because it does not require getting on the phone, you make your own schedule, and it does not require any training.

How much can I make? $12.50 – $14 per hour.

How do I get started? Apply to the only two companies I recommend.

14. Online Moderator
The number of forums, blogs, social media pages are continuing to increase, and companies need someone to manage the comments. Could that be you?

How much can I make? According to Glassdoor, The Social Element has a pay range of $14-$17 per hour with a 4/5 star rating.

How do I get started? The Social Element is one of the only companies I could find that offered decent pay and a flexible schedule, but they prefer experienced moderators. You can either start at LiveWorld which does not require previous experience (pay is $8 per hour), or you can take the Moderation Gateway training the Social Element recommends.

15. Customer Service Representative
Customer service positions typically provide product or service information.  It is a growing trend to hire customer service reps remotely.

You will be required to become well informed of the company that you choose to work for and will need to be prepared to efficiently answer the questions that will come your way.

How do I get started? Normally these positions only require a High School diploma, but some companies want you to have previous customer service experience. Consider applying to the companies below.

How much can I make? The pay ranges from $10-$21 per hour according to Glassdoor:

       Hilton – $10 – $21
       Apple – $13- $19 per hour
       Amazon – $11
I also highly suggest checking out these job boards for an up-to-date list of available remote customer service positions such as Indeed, FlexJobs, and Upwork. 

16. Graphic Designer
If you have an eye for design and have experience in Adobe Creative Suite/Adobe Creative Cloud – including InDesign, Illustrator, or Photoshop, there is a profitable market out there for you.

How much can I make? You can charge $25-$300 per hour, depending on your experience.

How do I get started? Check out this highly recommended course Learn Photoshop, Web Design & Profitable Freelancing. If you have experience, use freelance websites like Upwork to find clients, design logos for companies at 99designs, crowdspring, designcrowd (very high competition), or host a class on Skillshare.

Promote your services to your social network and create a website showcasing your services and work.

17. Survey Taker
Share your opinion to help brands deliver better products and services and get paid in the form of gift cards or through PayPal.

How much can I make? If you take the time to answer a lot of surveys, you could make $50-$100 a month. This is definitely just something to do to make extra money on the side.

How do I get started? I recommend signing up for Fusion Cash (Best referral program I’ve ever seen), Survey Junkie,  Swagbucks, and Inbox Dollars. You’ll get a $5 sign-up bonus with most of these.

The more survey sites you sign up for, the more you’ll make.

Pro Tip: Open a separate email account solely for surveys. You’ll start to get inundated with emails, and it will be more manageable in a different account.

Bonus Tips
Selling on Amazon (FBA program)
If you like shopping and searching for a good deal, you should definitely consider Amazon’s FBA program. You find good deals on products at brick and mortar stores or online and resell them on Amazon for a higher price.

Ship to Amazon and they take care of the rest.

How much can I make? This varies significantly and depends on how much work you are willing to put in, but Jessica from the Selling family made over $100,000 in profit after her first year as a full-time Amazon seller. Check out my awesome interview with her on How to Sell on Amazon.

How do I get started? Take this FREE 7-Day Email Course on how to start selling on Amazon.

Sign up for Research Studies – Up to $400 per study
You can make quick, easy money by participating in research studies. Below are the best-paid companies to sign up for

Respondent – $50-$400
User Interviews – $20-$400
Vindale Research – $10-$50 per day if you apply to multiple (you’ll have more opportunities for this one) participants are on a first-come, first served basis so be quick to apply if you see a good one.
Website tester
Get Paid to Test Apps and Websites. Companies need feedback on the user experience of their websites, and they’ll pay you to get it. This is one of the easiest and quickest ways to make money online.

Here is a list of reputable companies that will give you $10 per test and usually take around 15-20 minutes each:

User Testing
UserFeel
TryMyUI
Did you find anything that interests you? If not, check out FlexJobs. With FlexJobs, you can access hand-screened remote, part-time, freelance, and flexible jobs—quick and easy! Use my code FLEXLIFE for 30% off.

The normal fee each month would be $14.95 a month, but it’s less using my code. I’m not a fan of paying to find work, but I get they have to get compensated somehow for hand-screening each job they post.

Once you find a job you can cancel, and if you don’t think it’s worth it, you can request a refund…so there’s no real risk.

Most of the companies listed are US based but when it comes to Freelancing jobs like writing, proofreading, bookkeeping, social media manager, etc. those things can be done anywhere so they should all be applicable. Hope that helps.
