What you can do on maternity leave with your own hands. What can a mother really do and earn extra money while on maternity leave?

During maternity leave, every day of a woman becomes similar to one another. After the baby is born, the mother devotes most of her time to him. As a result, life is limited to the house, playground and store, and the head is filled with songs and fairy tales. During maternity leave, many professional skills are lost, interests and social circles change. How can a woman on maternity leave not feel limited, cut out from life, financially independent and still manage to do everything?

How to make money while on maternity leave via the Internet

Attention! Using all the links in this article, you can go to the sites and read detailed information about the work (working conditions, rules). Read the instructions and recommendations. Also, if something is not clear, write to technical support and ask any question you have! Keep this in mind!

Many mothers doing household chores do not notice a wonderful assistant who can diversify their social circle, soothe the creative itch and allow them to earn some pocket money.

Only lazy people haven’t got a computer and the Internet at home, so if a woman is not one of those, it won’t be too difficult for her to earn money while on maternity leave. Of course, we are not talking about amounts that will allow you to provide for the whole family; for this you will have to work full time, which is absolutely impossible when you have a baby next to you who requires attention. But earning money for diapers, purees and other little things is quite a feasible task.

Pros and cons of making money on the Internet

Today there are many ways to make money on the Internet, but in general, such work has its pros and cons. Among the positive points we can note:

  • Working at home is certainly much more comfortable. You don't have to wake up to an alarm clock, rush to the other side of the city, jostling in the crowd, or stand in traffic jams.
  • You plan your own work schedule. No one will say whether you were late or left early. Of course, you will have to adapt to other people, but still the work schedule is more flexible.
  • Making money on the Internet is available to everyone, there are no age, gender or other restrictions. There are preferences in choosing a performer of work, but they are few.
  • The opportunity to combine earning money on the Internet with your hobbies.
  • For a woman on maternity leave, the Internet is a good resource for creating automatic additional income in the future, when she already returns to work. This includes income from websites or blogs.
  • Many people choose to make money on the Internet only because they do not want to work for someone else. Here you can choose what interests you, no one will force you into the strict framework of fulfilling the plan or monthly reports. Your income directly depends on your hard work, talent and Internet speed.

Every business has its negative aspects:

  • Some people, in order to start working, need a kick, which in a regular job is given by the boss. This does not apply to everyone; some work more productively in the absence of outside pressure. In general, if you are a performer by nature, then when making money on the Internet, you may need someone’s guiding hand. Otherwise, your work risks turning into aimless swimming through the vastness of a virtual network.
  • The amounts you receive at the beginning of your Internet career will most likely not please you as much as your first salary. You will not receive a fixed salary for sitting at the computer table from bell to bell. Income will grow gradually, only through patience and daily work.
  • Physical inactivity and heavy eye strain will not improve your health, but this is unlikely to apply to a woman on maternity leave, who is unlikely to be allowed to sit at the computer for more than 2 hours in a row.

Several simple ways to make money online

1. Writing articles (copywriting, rewriting)

No special education or skills are needed. Anyone can start. Everyone can write essays or presentations.

You can earn money by writing articles for websites or blogs to order, or by selling ready-made texts. In order to find a customer or put an article up for sale, you need to register on some copywriting exchange, for example Content Monster.

Before you start working, you need to go through a simple registration procedure as an author (performer).

Different exchanges have rules for gaining access to the order list. In some places you can start working immediately after registration, in others you will be asked to answer test questions in the Russian language or take a copywriting course. Once you have met the requirements of the exchange, you can start working.


Copywriting involves writing articles of your own composition or using multiple sources. Such text must have 100% uniqueness, in contrast to rewriting, which allows for a lower percentage of uniqueness and is, in fact, a presentation of previously written articles. Almost all exchanges have programs for determining the level of text uniqueness, as well as spell checking and semantic analysis.

Exchanges also have article stores where you can post your works for sale. You can make money while on maternity leave by simply rummaging through your old essays and term papers that you have left over from college. Surely, among them there will be good and informative texts that someone may need.

Almost every woman has hobbies: sewing, knitting, photography, cooking and much more. You can write interesting articles about all this and attach photographs to them. If you become the author of original texts, believe me, buyers will notice you.

Earnings range from 100 rubles per day to several thousand. On exchanges you can find regular customers and work on an ongoing basis.

I repeat, anyone can earn money. This is where everyone starts. We will write in more detail about each method of earning money, so as not to miss the release of new articles, join our groups on VKontakte and Odnoklassniki.

2. Writing comments and reviews

Surely, before purchasing something in a store, you read reviews about this product - most of them were written for money. Yes Yes! Exactly!

On websites and forums you need to maintain communication and write comments.

In a word - a lot of work!

There are special exchanges where performers work (they write comments/reviews) and there are customers who order these comments/reviews.

Who else but a woman on maternity leave can better describe products for children and pregnant women? Or are you knowledgeable about diapers, baby food, toys, or maternity or nursing products? In general, it doesn’t matter what you know, the main thing is to write a comment or review that the customer asks for.

So, why not make money while sitting at home on this?

For example, a comment exchange

Note to moms!


Hello girls) I didn’t think that the problem of stretch marks would affect me too, and I’ll also write about it))) But there’s nowhere to go, so I’m writing here: How did I get rid of stretch marks after childbirth? I will be very glad if my method helps you too...

3. Freelancing

Freelancing (free movement from the English freelance) is a type of non-permanent working relationship that does not involve concluding long-term contracts, but involves performing certain one-time tasks selected to your taste.

The essence of making money is that if you know how to do something (write texts, work in Photoshop, translate texts from foreign languages, sell products - in general, at least something), then you can earn money by freelancing. Even if your knowledge in a particular area is not enough, you can learn anything.

The profitability of such work varies greatly and depends on your skills. For example, website designers earn from $1000 as a freelancer. It is more convenient to search for an employer on freelance exchanges.

  2. Free-lance.ru
  3. Weblancer.net

4. Creating your own blog (site)


Creating a website or blog and maintaining it on the Internet is one of the newfangled ways to make money on the Internet.

A blog is a page on the Internet where you can “show yourself.” Here you write about your activities, offer your services, express your opinion about something. If you are a professional in your field, then a blog will be your good resume.

If you are currently a mother on maternity leave, write about raising your child)

To make money, advertisements are placed on the pages of a blog (or website). This is a passive income option.

In general, making money on the site comes down to making money from advertising, and making money from providing your own services. Here is an article: 26 ways to make money online. It also describes ways to make money on the site -

Here is a useful site about creating blogs and making money blogging on the Internet - link

5. Information business

This is the sale of relevant or in-demand information using the Internet. Information can be sold in different forms: books, articles, programs, audio or video.

Information business involves such types of activities on the Internet as: organizing blogs or websites (i.e. how to make a blog/website), carrying out useful mailings (not spam), linking affiliate programs and much more. All this together is a tool for making money on the Internet.

Here you need to be a professional in something. And package and sell your professionalism. You can earn millions. Make a product once, and sell it thousands, hundreds of thousands of times.

6. Affiliate programs

This is a certain type of cooperation in which projects/online stores/various services promoted on the Internet offer you income from attracting clients to them.

How it works? If you are the owner of a website with high traffic (several hundred visitors), you can introduce affiliate programs into it (place affiliate links, banners), recommend something to people, and the person who came on your recommendation and made a purchase/ordered a service, you receive your percentage of the amount that the person you referred spent.

7. Earning money from clicks on social networks and comments on forums:

Every woman, while on maternity leave, makes up for the lack of communication on social networks. Some stay there for a long time. If you are too lazy to write articles, reviews, or understand the intricacies of creating a website, then there is something for you. The world cannot exist without good people, and social networks even more so.

There are sites, such as Forumok, that offer an advertising service that allows you to make money on social networks by simply clicking the left mouse button, hovering over links and banners. Click and like articles/pages ordered by the advertiser.

There you can also earn money simply by communicating. If you like to chat on forums, you can use this hobby to earn money while on maternity leave.

I would like to advise women on maternity leave not to bury their talents in the routine of household chores. Spend your free time profitably. Make sure your work is appreciated. Try to make money on the Internet, perhaps this work will turn out to be your second profession. Who knows, maybe you will be the one to make a fortune from this.

I repeat, there will be large and detailed descriptions about all the ways to earn money. Step by step instructions. Stay with us. See you. Note to moms!


Hello girls! Today I will tell you how I managed to get in shape, lose 20 kilograms, and finally get rid of the terrible complexes of fat people. I hope you find the information useful!

What work-from-home jobs are popular for mothers on maternity leave in 2019? How can a pregnant mother go on maternity leave and find a reliable part-time job? How can a woman find her dream remote job?

Hello, dear readers! With you is one of the authors of the business magazine HeatherBober.ru, Alina Berezhnova. I myself was on maternity leave a certain time ago, and now I find myself on it again and I know that working part-time in this situation will not hurt anyone.

Many people need extra income and don’t know who to turn to for advice related to their side hustle.

This is especially true for young mothers and women on maternity leave. Soon I’m going to go on maternity leave again and I’m already learning how to earn money without leaving home on the Internet from my husband Alexander. He is already doing this successfully.

For myself, I realized a long time ago that it is possible to earn money while on maternity leave. You can organize income for yourself as a regular part-time job, and especially enterprising girls can even do it without leaving home.

If you really need additional income and you don’t know where to start, then rest assured that after reading this article, you will immediately understand what is worth doing.

1. What types of income exist for women with children?

Maternity leave is a kind of stepping stone in a woman’s life.

Your social status has changed (you have become a mother), your perception of the world and sense of self have changed, your priorities and habits have changed.

Maternity leave is the right time to change life plans and break habitual patterns.

The husband’s salary alone is not always enough for a mother and child to live a decent life. It’s great if relatives are involved in your destiny, but the situation is not always so favorable.

The birth of a child increases the financial expenses of a young family significantly: in these circumstances, housework for mothers on maternity leave is an opportunity to radically improve their financial situation.

All options for part-time work and full-time work for mothers on maternity leave are conditionally divided into several categories:

  • earnings related to skills, hobbies, talents;
  • work requiring professional skills;
  • activities that require the presence of certain conditions (landline telephone, computer with unlimited Internet, apartment, free premises).

Ideally, work for women on maternity leave should not distract mothers from their main activity - caring for the baby. But even in such conditions, there are options that allow you not only to regularly replenish the family budget, but also to maintain yourself in a state of physical and intellectual activity.

If you don’t have any special talents or skills, you can devote time to learning a new specialty, developing hitherto undetected talents in yourself.

For example, from a call center operator at a large telecommunications company, I will soon retrain as an Internet marketer and manager for working with remote clients and partners of an Internet site.

I know of cases where young mothers on maternity leave discovered hitherto dormant artistic abilities and later became professional illustrators, designers, photographers or authors of successful children's literature. Even I myself somehow wanted to become an author and writer of poems for children’s cards.

The list of the most popular and current options for part-time work for women usually includes:

  • copywriting (text writing);
  • organization of a beauty salon at home;
  • opening a private kindergarten;
  • provision of nanny services;
  • website administration;
  • remote work as a designer, artist, illustrator (if you have the appropriate skills);
  • distance learning (any professional knowledge is in demand);
  • preparation and sale of home cooking;
  • earning money from surveys;
  • tutoring;
  • mediation - sale of goods and services through free electronic bulletin boards on the Internet;
  • production of handmade products and their further sale.

This is only an approximate list of all possible jobs and part-time jobs at home for young mothers. If the desire to work is present, all that remains is to implement it in the most effective way. You can find offers and vacancies on specialized Internet resources and in social network communities.

Proper advertising of your skills and abilities is half the success. Do not hesitate to tell your friends and acquaintances about your desire to work - perhaps they will find successful and profitable options for you. If you sell specific services and goods, you can provide them at a significant discount at the first stage.

Any business requires diligence and patience: you should not expect instant results, especially if the services you offer have an artistic or creative bent.

You should not fall into despair if your product/service (offer) is not sold out immediately: perhaps it is not a matter of its quality, but a lack of competent marketing (sales and positioning of your offer).

2. Pros and cons of working on maternity leave

Like any business, such work has its advantages and disadvantages. Let's look at the brightest of them below.

pros (+) home-based and remote work for mothers during maternity leave

  • independent planning of your working time (you can take a break or a day off at any time);
  • lack of management (the relationship between the customer and the client is always an equal and mutually beneficial partnership);
  • no need to adapt to the team;
  • there is no need to waste time and money on travel and going to lunch in a cafe;
  • no spending on office clothes and other accessories (business style attributes);
  • you are not at risk of being fired.

It happens that remote work on the Internet for mothers on maternity leave or home-based work turns out to be so successful and comfortable for women that the need to look for a “normal” job after returning from vacation disappears.

Minuses (-) work from home for mothers on maternity leave

  • double burden: even the calmest and healthiest child requires constant attention and emotional involvement of the mother - some women quickly tire of such a life;
  • without appropriate planning and organization of the work process, life turns into chaos (productive time management will be discussed in detail below);
  • the refrigerator is always nearby - it is more difficult to control a stable weight;
  • high probability of encountering fraud on the Internet.

Unpleasant situations can be avoided if you study more information before starting work.

The next section of the article is devoted to a very relevant topic for mothers on maternity leave looking for part-time work - online fraud.

3. How to avoid scammers when trying to get extra income without investments and deception

Online fraud is varied and has many faces.

Everyone who is looking for vacancies for part-time work at home is faced with tempting offers to have high incomes while doing almost nothing. And women, and especially mothers, are at risk here.

Some offers from scammers look very plausible: even experienced users often fall for the bait of enterprising “combinators”.

Even such harmless advertisements as “assembling ballpoint pens at home”, “typing text” or “gluing envelopes with guaranteed payment” turn out to be just a way of taking money from the population.

How to distinguish deceivers from honest employers? The answer is simple - the first ones always demand from the client preliminary investments.

The offer to transfer money is usually skillfully disguised as insurance premiums, payment for materials to start work, or purchase of equipment. As a rule, after transferring money to the specified account, successful (for scammers) cooperation ends.

At the same time, it is almost impossible to legally prove the guilt of the criminals: after all, you yourself and of your own free will are transferring money to an unknown uncle (or aunt) into your pocket.

Digital technologies work for scammers: the fact of extortion and obtaining money by deception is difficult to document.

If the “employer” requires primary material investments (no matter what he calls them), refuse such an offer immediately!

You should also not transfer your personal data to an unknown person - passport number, bank details and other confidential information.

Offers from scammers are often disguised as vacancies marked “without any investment” and the like. And they really are not required until a certain stage.

You may even be asked to submit a resume, after which your candidacy will be “selected from among other applicants.”

Sometimes a cooperation agreement, a multi-page list of company rules and the employee’s job responsibilities are even sent by mail.

But it all ends prosaically: under various pretexts (neutralizing the employer’s losses, insurance premiums, checking the employee’s intentions, paying for materials), it is proposed to transfer your money to a certain account.

Other methods of deception that applicants for remote work vacancies often encounter:

  • work in “network marketing” (in fact, it turns out to be a financial pyramid);
  • “business” offers related to transactions with your bank accounts;
  • participation in highly profitable projects with quick returns;
  • processing letters (audio, photos) at home;
  • proposals for growing flowers (mushrooms) using highly efficient hydroponics.

It is impossible to list all the methods of online deception within the framework of this text. A mother on maternity leave must adhere to the main rule - no initial investments or transfers of money to someone else's electronic account!

4. Work for mothers on maternity leave - review of the TOP 10 popular vacancies and methods of 2019

Below we look at the most popular vacancies for mothers on maternity leave in 2019.

Method 1. Joint purchases on the Internet with further resale of purchased goods

Working from home via the Internet is a relevant and effective way to earn extra money.

generation our mothers (1960-1990s) such opportunities were simply not available. Modern women have much more chances to show their commercial talents.

So, the simplest option for online business is that you purchase goods from online stores in small wholesale quantities and sell them at retail. There are online markets where you can buy clothes very profitably.

The difference in price between wholesale and retail can be 100% or more. One of my friends, her name is Anya, did just that, although she was not a mother on maternity leave, but her business flourished under this scheme, and she was only 16 years old at that time.

Having a wide circle of acquaintances, clothes can be distributed among friends. Even with a very decent markup, they will receive the goods cheaper than in boutiques or well-known fashion stores.

You can also sell purchased goods via the Internet - on Avito, Ayu.ru and other sites.

But even selling products through Avito requires an effective presentation of goods and a professional approach from the seller. By the way, it has already been described on our website earlier.

Method 2. Providing professional services (beauty, health, home economics)

If you know how to cut your hair, do hair, make-up or manicure well, why not get paid for your skills?

The next step is dissemination of information: through the network, advertisements in the media, using word of mouth.

You can do massage at home, read Tarot cards, teach yoga, wushu, meditation and aerobics, or professionally engage in home economics, helping others - provided, of course, that you have the desire and predisposition for these areas of activity.

Method 3. Organizing a kindergarten at home

To organize a full-fledged private kindergarten, you need the appropriate permits, but no one will prohibit you from being a home-based nanny.

Not all mothers have the opportunity to send their children to a regular kindergarten, but there is also no one to leave them at home when they urgently need to leave. For such situations, a home kindergarten is created. Mothers bring their children to you, and you spend time with them in company with your own child.

It turns out to be something like a group of short-term childcare, where children are admitted as needed.

In large cities, there are entire entertainment centers at home that provide short-term supervision and care.

Method 4. Making handmade products and selling them through electronic bulletin boards, stores, and your environment

Knitting, handicrafts, making original pottery, jewelry, toys, souvenirs - all this is in stable demand. If you make truly exclusive and useful things, they can be sold at quite decent prices.

Sales can be organized via the Internet, a page on a social network, or through your friends. Many mothers make soap at home, weave beaded bracelets, and knit rugs and blankets.

Sometimes you even manage to find a company that is ready to sell your hand-made products.

This idea is already being implemented by Anna Belan; the girl makes money by making handicrafts and teaches this to children and adults. On our website there is an interview with Anya about.

Method 5. Writing and editing texts for publishing houses and Internet sites

Thousands of people are engaged in writing texts. There are dozens of exchanges for freelancers involved in copywriting and rewriting on the Internet. You can write articles for money on any topic close to you - at least on the topic of caring for a baby: such texts are in constant demand on specialized sites.

Necessary conditions: high literacy and the ability to harmoniously put words into sentences.

For one text you can get 100 - 1,000 rubles (depending on volume). If writing comes easily to you, you can engage in copywriting (professional writing of texts) on an ongoing basis, receiving pleasure from the work and a good income, which, even if you work 3-4 hours a month, can amount to $500 or more.

Method 6. Retouching and photo processing

To retouch and process photos at home, you just need the ability to use a graphic editor; Photoshop is the best program and free time.

You can start small - 1 hour a day, then, if it works out, move on to a busier work schedule. You can learn basic Photoshop skills in a week: in addition, there are a lot of forums on the Internet around the clock that will help you understand all the nuances of this craft.

Method 7. Administration of sites and groups on social networks, producing

The task of an administrator (moderator) in public pages or social network groups is to monitor compliance with community rules and monitor the functioning of the site.

Another option is to promote your own group and place paid advertising, but this will take a lot of time, which you will need to invest for days on end without receiving payment.

If you are ready for this, then this is a good option to start your online business.

Thanks to the knowledge gained in the free course, my husband Alexander increased the income of this HeatherBober project and is now launching another business related to Internet marketing.

Therefore, if you decide to earn money on VKontakte or another social network from 50,000 rubles per month or engage in Internet marketing in any other form right from home, get new knowledge and it will bring you money.

Method 8. Completing coursework and dissertations

If you have an education and relevant knowledge, you can start writing essays, coursework and diploma projects for students.

Competition in this niche is quite high, but the demand is quite stable. The disadvantage of this work is its seasonality: usually coursework and diplomas are required only during sessions.

Method 9. Providing educational and consulting services for students and adults

Tutoring is a profitable occupation, especially in modern conditions, when you can advise and teach without leaving your home. At the same time, classes do not take much time, and the audience is potentially unlimited. The greatest demand is for teaching languages ​​at home.

If you already have teaching skills and a base of potential clients, then you can earn your first money literally tomorrow by selling your consultations or teaching people in need.

Method 10. Making and selling home cooking

Mothers who love to cook can bake original cakes, pastries, muffins and other goodies at home.

Not all people know how to cook and not everyone has time for it. Exclusive cakes for children, men and women will give you the opportunity to develop your culinary talents with benefit to your wallet.

If you have a baby, then most likely your age is from 20 to 40 years old - this is the best age for getting married and having children.

Accordingly, among your friends there will probably also be those who are going to get married, and if you already have good experience in preparing goodies, then to such a couple of young people you can offer your services in baking a wedding cake or preparing original designer dishes for a future wedding banquet.

5. Tips for moms on choosing the best way to earn money

Some mothers are looking for work at home out of necessity (there is absolutely not enough money, and expenses for raising a child are growing), others simply want to take a break from the cycle of monotonous tasks and worries, and still others do not want to lose their professional skills.

Whenever you want to make money, remember

But you shouldn’t spend too much energy on a part-time job, otherwise you won’t have any left to fully care for your child!

The easiest way to work is until the baby is one year old - at this age, babies only need regular breastfeeding, affection and timely changing of diapers.

Older children need increased attention, educational games and additional nutrition.

There are many options for part-time work for mothers on maternity leave, but the choice is complicated by some restrictions:

  • cramped living conditions;
  • the need to pay a lot of attention to the child;
  • lack of a specific daily routine.

In such a situation, understanding on the part of the husband and closest relatives is decisive.

If parents are ready to help in difficult times, then doing homework is twice as easy.

With the presence of assistants, you can spend about 4 hours on additional income: the main time of work will be during the baby’s nap.

Some tips for those who have not yet decided on the choice of working from home, but really want to try:

  1. Remember what you always wanted to do in your free time (braid African hair, bake cakes). Perhaps it's time to learn a new craft or learn how to get paid for your skills.
  2. Find helpers in advance - those who are ready to regularly look after the child if necessary.
  3. Be sure to plan your day.
  4. Before responding to a job offer, research the employer's information. When entering into an agreement, do not hesitate to ask questions and define your responsibilities in advance.
  5. Don’t deprive yourself of small daily joys, but don’t get too carried away with trips to the kitchen for the next portion of a “stimulating” treat.
  6. If you plan to work remotely, create an Internet wallet or bank account (if you don’t have one).

Don’t forget about rest: meet (at least periodically) with your friends, do yoga (fitness, meditation) and monitor your own well-being.

A child needs a cheerful, rested and friendly mother. And you shouldn’t blame your loved ones for the fact that you have to work: life circumstances don’t always work out as we plan.

My dears, I hope this information helps you!

6. 7 rules for organizing time for women on maternity leave who work from home

Even with relatively adult children, women have enough troubles around the house, but what can we say about babies under 3 years old, who need constant supervision. How to find time for everyday activities, caring for the baby, and additional work? This will be much easier to do if you apply a scientific approach.

Time management is precisely a science that will help you organize your time correctly.

As an introductory course, we suggest you learn 7 main rules for organizing time for working at home mothers.

Rule 1. Determine the right time to work

First, decide what time will be most suitable for work. There are two best options: when the baby is sleeping or when your mother comes to visit you. The first option is relevant when the baby has a more or less regular sleep pattern. In the second case, you need to secure a promise that such assistance will be regular.

Rule 2. Draw up an action plan

Without a clear plan of action for the coming day, which is best drawn up the day before, you won’t be able to be organized.

Even with a phenomenal memory, you can miss important moments, getting caught up in the hustle and bustle of the moment. All items related to caring for the baby should be included in the first place in the plan: feeding, walks, visiting clinics.

Learn to use a sling* - this invention allows you to do dozens of household chores without losing sight of your child.

A sling is a special fabric structure for carrying a child on you during an early age.

And only after the necessary points can you add work-related actions to the plan. Time can be saved if you prepare your workplace in advance and call clients.

Rule 3. Develop a convenient schedule

At the initial stage, it is better for mothers working on maternity leave to engage in activities that allow for a flexible schedule without being tied to a specific deadline. You should start with small amounts of work.

As your skills and craftsmanship improve, the number of orders can be gradually increased.

Rule 4. Get ready for work

It’s great if you can schedule a part-time job for a certain time of day - this allows you to get into a business-like mood and increases efficiency.

You can come up with a pleasant ritual that helps you immerse yourself in a working state: for example, drink a portion of hot chocolate. It mobilizes, lifts your spirits and improves psychological tone.

Rule 5. Correctly exit the working state

The work process can be interrupted at any moment. The mechanism for quickly transitioning from business to home status should be thought out in advance.

For example, if a child wakes up earlier than the schedule stipulates, think about what to do to keep him busy in order to get things done without compromising the production process.

Rule 6. Systematize important contacts

All contacts necessary for work should be systematized and not stored in a chaotic form.

It is worth creating a separate file on your computer and duplicating it in your diary.

You can use special mobile applications. This will save time and help out in case of any kind of emergency situations, for example, when it is not you who needs to contact customers, but your assistants.

Rule 7. Maintain a sleep and rest schedule

Mothers on maternity leave need proper sleep.

If you do not adhere to this rule, you will not be able to be in working condition. Fatigue reduces attention and is fraught with the possibility of making all sorts of mistakes and mistakes. In addition, there is a danger of overlooking the baby.

Another general rule

All started household and work tasks should be brought to completion, and only then take on others, otherwise the list of “tails” will grow.

Why not try the profession video blogger?🎥 This does not even require special knowledge or experience.

All you need is a good camera, an interesting story for viewers and the ability to use the service YouTube. Such work for young mothers can be not only profitable, but also very interesting.

Of course, you can list a huge number of famous mothers on YouTube, but as an example we can give channel Tatiana Starikova (www.youtube.com/user/Tatiana12011991), on which a young mother shares the secrets of caring for children, her daily life, shopping and relaxation.

Popular YouTube blogs earn quite a decent amount of money through advertising and affiliate programs.

By the way, you can also add affiliate programs here, which will bring additional money.

The only negative is that there is a lot of such content and it takes time to promote your channel. And you need to come up with something that will really hook viewers and make them subscribe to your channel.

  4. answer questions carefully and receive payment.

A simple way to earn money, but in a month you can earn quite a significant amount up to 4-6 thousand rubles . For mothers on maternity leave, surveys can be a good additional source of income!

Here are some great questionnaires:

Method 2: Comments and reviews

A slightly different option for making money on the Internet is comments and reviews. In this case, there are also no difficulties - you only need to write small reviews on websites and review pages about various companies, online stores...

For each such review or comment you will receive somewhere10-50 rubles !

Method 3: Social networks

Almost each of us is registered in at least one social network, in which we constantly communicate with our friends.

There are special online services (for example, my favorite one is) on which advertisers order and pay for various actions on the social network.

For example, join a certain community on VKontakte. For you, this is a “second” matter, requiring only one press of the button. So, by devoting a little time, you can earn some money without straining at all, which will at least be enough for your small expenses.

Method 4: Surf, clicks and views

The final way to make easy money on the Internet, which I would like to briefly talk about, is viewing promotional materials and clicks.

Typically, only sites and platforms that host advertising blocks make money from advertising. But now anyone can install in their browser ( website viewer) special plugin , which will not only show you advertising, but also charge you money for viewing it.

There are also special active advertising sites that will also allow you to earn a little money!

The essence of such earnings with step-by-step guidance is described in detail in 2 articles: how to earn money without investments and.

So, we have looked at the most current vacancies for mothers on maternity leave, and now we can give useful tips that will allow you to earn more and enjoy what you love, while always being with your baby.

Often, scammers catch naive job seekers by offering to pay for employment or materials for work. Do not agree to this under any circumstances; labor legislation directly states that this is a violation of your rights.

Tip #2: Be wary of network marketing

There is no need to cooperate with dubious MLMs. Some network companies are even considered destructive sects that officially sell the same cosmetics.

Working in such a pyramid, you risk falling under negative influence, and such work will probably not bring you money.

It makes sense to work only with proven and large network marketing companies!

Tip #3: Don’t rush to respond to the first job offers you come across

Always think about every step you take and don’t rush to plunge headlong into any job offered, because scammers are not asleep. Be sure to look for information about the organization on the Internet by typing its name or postal address into the search bar of your browser.

If you decide to make money using handmade products, then carefully study the preferences of customers. It's one thing to sell single-color bars of handmade soap, but another to include coffee beans, flower petals and come up with unusual packaging.

Always use your imagination. Are you planning to sell knitted items? Then why not make an unusual wool coat or baby carrier instead of a standard sweater? You must surprise the client and attract them with your offers.

Be careful, because under the guise of an ordinary highly paid job (both on the Internet and offline) there may be hidden deception!

Such would-be scammers offer very high payments for simple work on the Internet in order to lure more “victims”. As it turns out later, in order to start work, you must pay a certain amount, for example, the so-called insurance fee (about 300-800 rubles).

Such scammers will do their best to convince you to pay this “small” fee, which, as they will claim, you will easily and completely “repay” on the first day of work.

As you understand, after payment there is no word from such “employers”!

Also, you should not believe various “super profitable” schemes, strategies and programs that allow you to quickly earn money (for example, by beating an online casino or guessing the lottery).

I want to tell you about a real case of fraud, which one of our magazine readers told us about.

The real story of fraud!
Olga came across the website freeworkl.ru, which offers remote work sorting and correcting documents. It would seem nothing unusual - work is like work!

For example, for simple sorting of documents, the site promises to pay about 850 rubles. Not bad!🙂

And for the usual filling of price lists from a ready-made source - they promise 600 rubles ! Besides this they promise instant payments at your first request. Not a job, just a dream!

As a result, Olga thought that she had found exactly the job she had been looking for for so long, and with a very high salary.

Having registered on the site, it turned out that to access the tasks you need to buy a monthly subscription for a “symbolic” fee in 240 rubles💰 .

Deciding that completing even one task would more than recoup all investments, Olga paid for the subscription, but “for some reason” the tasks were still unavailable.

She wrote to technical support, where they kindly explained to her that at the moment a monthly subscription is not available and she needs to pay for the subscription for 3 months for 610 rubles !

Olga did not agree and decided to return her 240 rubles, but as it turned out, it was easy to return them impossible— the system does not process refunds, and technical support “unexpectedly” disappeared and does not answer any questions!

Therefore, be double suspicious of sites and people who promise you unique and “incredibly” profitable and tempting terms of cooperation!

Be vigilant and attentive, and do not trust the word of people you do not know (and especially don’t transfer money❗️).
