How to Make More Money Without Giving Up Family Time

When you are a parent, you realize there are two things you never seem to have enough of; money and time. Raising a family can often be an expensive task and is also a busy one. Many moms and dads feel like they don’t spend as much quality time with their kids as they would like, as other essential commitments such as work get in the way. Finding ways to make extra money without sacrificing time spent with the kids can be challenging, and you may be considering working extra hours or taking on another job on the weekends. But, there are other ways to increase your income without missing out on precious time with your family; you can even do them when the kids have gone to bed. Here are some money-making ideas that you can try in your spare time at home without spending time away from your kids:

Start Online Trading

If you have always fancied dabbling in the world of trading, then why not give it a try? Thanks to modern technology, trading is far more accessible to people than ever before. Using online trading platforms and brokers, it is possible to trade CFDs, which is a popular form of trading that you can try at home. Many people enjoy the process of learning all about trading, as there are so many different ways to do it. Once you have become familiar with how to trade, you may feel ready to try for yourself and see if it becomes a successful way to make money for you.

Launch an eCommerce Store

Many people love shopping online and enjoy the wide range of choice available and the convenience of having your goods delivered to your door. During the pandemic, the popularity of online shopping increased even further while bricks and mortar stores stayed closed. Each of these factors combined means that eCommerce can become a lucrative second income stream. Who knows? Your eCommerce store could be so successful it becomes your main job rather than merely a side hustle. 

If you want to gain the benefits of running an eCommerce store without taking the time needed to arrange for delivery of the items, you could choose to use a dropshipping model instead. Dropshipping means shipping the goods is handled on your behalf, so you get to make money while spending more time with your kids and less time packing up orders.

Share Your Expertise

Making the most of your existing skills and knowledge is an excellent way to make some extra money at home. Maybe you are a talented artist and can spend some time painting or sketching each evening and then sell your art online. Or perhaps, you have experience teaching others new skills. If so, you could set up an online training course and share your expertise with people across the world. Whatever your area of expertise, there should be a way to monetize it and make some extra cash for you and your family.

My name is Richie and I am a 40 year old father of two, a daughter and son. I am married to a beautiful woman named Destiny. She is the foundation of our family, and without her, none of this would be possible. During the day I work as a network security administrator for a local school district. At night I can be found illustrating books, working on websites, or creating music, but more than likely though I am spending time with my kids.
