If you’re not interested in online work, consider working in direct sales, or what some call multi-level marketing. There are thousands of products to choose from—everything from clothing to nutritional shakes to candles. You typically purchase the inventory at a discounted price and then sell it via your website, at-home parties or in your everyday life. With direct sales, you get out what you put in. During busy seasons of your children’s life, you can easily cut back. However, when they’re in school, and you have more time on your hands, you can increase your workload.
To be successful at direct sales, you have to truly believe in the product that you are selling and sell your product through multiple avenues. You can sell to family and friends, your neighbors, Facebook friends, people you meet at the playground, and to your followers on social media platforms.
If none of these options interest you, consider turning something you enjoy into a business. If you enjoy making hair bows for your little girl, for example, why not open an Etsy shop? Or perhaps you used to work in accounting or finance. You could start your own consulting business (For more, see Top 6 Consulting Fields To Get Into Now ). If you shop garage sales every weekend, list the better items that you find on eBay for a profit.
