5 Super Easy, Awesome Businesses for Moms If you’re a SAHM you may be looking for ways to make extra money while remaining home with your kids. Here are 5 unique ideas to explore. #1 Face Painting • Think about all the birthday parties your children are invited to. There’s a huge market for this service. • Face paints are inexpensive and easy to find online and at local craft stores. • Market your face painting service at fairs, charitable events, grand openings and more. #2 Tea Party Planner • Parents are often searching for unique birthday party ideas and themes. This service fits the bill! • Consider teaming up with local children’s clothing shops, dance studios and other places willing to lease out a section of their facility. • Find tea sets, tableware, linens and dress-up clothes at second hand shops. #3 Fashion Jewelry Party Planner • There are several companies that supply fashion and fine jewelry for parties, but they can be expensive. Go online to find wholesalers and bypass the middle woman. • Purchase a small (under $100) inventory of items and have catalogs or flyers on hand to show the rest at your jewelry parties. • Take orders and fulfill them. Some wholesalers will even drop-ship, so all you do is take orders and submit them. #4 Social Media Management • This is a fairly new field, which makes it wide open to newcomers. • Most businesses can benefit from using social media, but many either don’t have time or the know-how to do it. • Start with local small businesses and explain the benefits of building an online presence. • Remember to continually come up with updated, interesting posts to encourage return visitors and followers. #5 Book Reviewer • New eBooks are being uploaded everyday. Most writers know how important reviews are to sales. • The average book review can command $100 or more. • Offer a few free reviews at first to build your reputation. Then advertise on online classified sites, message boards and print media. These are just 5 ideas, but whichever you choose remember to: • Be creative • Assess your skills and abilities to see which ones are marketable. • Tell EVERYONE about your new business venture. • Share on Mommy message boards. • Don’t forget to build your own online presence with social media interaction, a website, blog, etc. There are several free website builders and blogging sites available.
