Being a stay-at-home mom is a dream for many, but it's hard to do when you need to make a living. I've been there. I decided to build a business from home, while I raised my babies. Now, I'm successful and my babies are teens. If I can do it, you can too!

Freelance Writing
If you love to write, then freelance writing may be for you. That's what I do. I built my company during nap times and often with a toddler on my lap as I typed. I write articles, blogs and sale's copy for websites. If you'd like a step-by-step guide to becoming a freelance writer, grab a copy of my book The Fluff-Free Freelance Writing Master Course: The only course that gives you concrete, actionable information to building a successful freelance business without any fluff.
