Have you been looking for a way to earn money from home? Why not create your own a business around your skills and strengths? This will allow you to create a work schedule tailored to the needs of your family.

People that are proficient in web design can find work pretty easily. Many people want to an online business presence but don’t know the first thing about building a website – just visit any work at home message board and you will see many posts asking for help! There is also a lot that you can do with this in your local community. Find out more about Becoming A Blog Consultant.

Are you creative? How about marketing your services as a graphic designer? Many people need help designing logos, website headers and buttons.

If you enjoy writing, you can find work as a copywriter – the person who writes the information you read on websites.

If you would rather work offline, there are still plenty of opportunities for you. Just market your services creatively – let businesses know how you can help them. For instance, if you were a teacher, you could coordinate lesson plans for local daycares and call yourself an “Educational Consultant”. If you have experience managing a restaurant, you can turn that into a “Catering Consultant” and help caterers and restaurants come up with new recipes or help brides plan their wedding menus.

Are you good at crocheting, knitting, sewing, or scrapbooking? Hold classes to teach other people your crafting method. Ask your local craft shop or library if you can hold classes there.

Don’t forget you can also sell your handmade crafts at online places like Etsy and Artfire. Or you can sell your products in local craft fairs and through word-of-mouth advertising.

Moms are expert organizers – offer up your skills as a “professional organizer” and get paid to clean out closets, attics and garages. Do you love planning parties? Many busy parents would hire you to take care of planning their children’s parties. You don’t have to limit yourself to kids’ parties, though. You can also hire yourself out to plan retirement parties, anniversary parties – even weddings!

What about making meals for busy professional in your area? You could charge them for the cost of groceries, etc., throw a meal in the crock pot in the morning and drop it off to their homes at dinner time. Alternatively, you could create freezer meals for them at the beginning of the week that the families need only defrost and heat up as needed.

As you can see, there are many ways to turn your skills into ways to work from home. Once you decide on something to do, get out there and let everyone know you are available for hire! If you want work, sometimes you just need to ask!

Tell us a little about you:
I am a Christian mom of two boys, ages 4 and 1. I am married to an awesome man of God. We have been married for 5 years and have enjoyed every day!

How long have you been doing this business?
I started selling Scentsy in January this year, so almost 7 months. It has been a fun experience, and I have learned a lot about direct selling.

Tell us a little about your business
Scentsy is a wickless candle system. The temperature never reaches over 120 degrees, so there is no chance of your or your kids being burned. Also, since the warmer is warmed by a low watt light bulb, there are no toxins released into the air, no flame, and no soot! Scentsy has over 80 scents to choose from and for the month of July only we are running a promotion called, "Bring Back my Bar" which is made up of 20 of Scentsy's most popular, discontinued bars. We also sell car fresheners, and room sprays!

What is the #1 tip that you have for WAHMs or moms who want to be WAHMs?
Just try it! And make sure you are selling something that interests you, if you are not excited about it, your customers aren't going to be either!

If someone was looking to join your team, what is the best way to contact you/find out more info?

Our starter kit, which is $99+tax, comes with all 80 scents, and a large warmer. Also included are catalogs, and other items to help kick start your business. Scentsy is a business where the product really does sell itself.

In the month of July I am offering an online order incentive. Whoever places the largest order on my website will receive a free plug-in warmer of their choice!
