Earn Supplemental Offline Income

The only limits on the possibilities for supplemental offline income are your time, ambition, and interests.

My goal in bringing you this website is to bring you options. There is no "one size fits all" plan for every family's supplemental income goals. There is no "sure fit", no magic pill, no quick fix. But there are options. Find an offline income idea that suits your needs and run with it.

Sales

Many sales positions are available to stay at home moms offline.

These types of positions are excellent for moms who have come from a retail or management background.

These sales jobs offer the possibility of residual income based on helping others learn the business, and offer unlimited earning potential.

These are also some of the more common offline income strategies for stay home moms.







Qualifications:

No Experience Necessary

Small Start Up Fee May Be Required

Motivated, Self-Starter

Income Potential:

Commissionable Positions Based on Sales (the more you sell, the more you make)

Mystery Shopping

A very popular trend in earning money as a stay at home mom is the field of mystery shopping.

This can be a good option if you have a lot of free time and are looking for pocket change.

This would be a good choice for a mother who likes to run errands and go shopping.

This is not a good choice for mothers who need substantial supplemental income.


Qualifications:

Attention to Detail

Dependability and Punctuality

Articulate and Able to Communicate Well in the Written Language

Income Potential:

Low, Use as a Hobby, Not a Source of Income

Figure on $7-15 Per Shop, Rarely More

Surrogacy and Egg Donation

An option you might be unfamiliar with for supplemental income is Surrogacy and Egg Donation.

I have included this section on surrogacy and egg donation here as they are forms of significant supplemental income, but I will caution you that they require a huge commitment.

They should not be looked at as a form of gaining money, as the emotional, physical, and time commitments your entire family will face will not come close to equaling any compensation you will receive.

Having said all that, surrogacy can be a wonderful gift for two families, which can change their lives forever.


Qualifications:

Healthy

Uncomplicated Pregnancies (surrogacy)

Possibly Physical Characteristics

Income Potential:

Egg Donation $3,000-5,000+

Surrogacy $15,000+

Home Daycare

A very common yet often unrealized form of supplemental offline income is Home Daycare.

Think outside the box.

All of these offline income ideas are designed to be just that: ideas.

It is up to you to take these ideas and do further research on the ones that are of interest to you. Use the resources I have given you to find out if any one idea is the right one for you.

Discuss the possibilities with your husband, and children if appropriate.

Make the offline income idea your own.

For instance, you may find that you have no desire to be an Egg Donor, but you may find that you would be good at finding others who do. So maybe you could set up a referral service.

Think outside the box.

Find the perfect opportunity for you.
