Answer #1

if you are a sahm, you can advertise ironing from home, advertise at local shops that you iron & they can drop off to you & you can either have them pick up or you will deliver for a small fee, start with ironing at $1 to $2 a shirt & go from there,

or better still ring around through local papers from others who may be ironing from home & make out as though you are a cusotomer & see how much they are charging per item & go 50c cheaper,,,

or if that doesnt suit you,, start making baby baskets, go to the $2 shop & buy baskets & tissue paper & fill them up with baby items, bibs, booties, beanies, pacifiers, daipers, face washers, baby powder, shampoos/conditioners & so on, you know what I mean & then taking them to hospitals & selling them to new parents,

or if thats too much, jump online & see how to make home made soaps & start getting creative & selling them in packs of 4,,

or making up bags of potpouri & selling those,

or if you are really creative lol, do all three & everytime theres a fete in your area, take them there, set up a stall & sell them :-)

if I think of anything else I’ll let you know!!!

all the best!

Pet items, doggie collars, clothes, bowls, ect>>>

Answer #3

The key to making a income to be proud of from your home with your baby is to work smart not hard. How many hard working people do you know that are broke? We all know many, too many. I started my own company at the age of 17 and was able to retire at a early age. My time is now devoted to my wife, our 5 children and helping as many people I can chieve the sam success. I am always available to answer your questions and help in anyway I can. I-mentor@hotmail.com
