5 Super Easy, Awesome Businesses for MomsIf 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.
