Default Ways to make some extra cash while being a SAHM

Let's share how we all make some extra cash while being stay at home moms!
I became a guide at ChaCha - Mobile Search | Text Search | Questions and Answers. I like it because I can "work" whenever I want to answering questions online. It's great because it helps my husband and I pay a few bills and that really helps out a lot.

For any of you crafty mamas you should try starting an Etsy shop at http://etsy.com. I have a shop there (although I haven't made anything in a really long time). I also love buying stuff from there, I like supporting independent designers over big chain stores if I can!

I am trying to gather ideas for after my baby gets to be a little older, like babysitting part time.

What do you do for extra money??

It's not "extra" money but I'm a full-time freelance writer who is also managing to raise my 7 month old daughter.

I've also picked up some extra cash doing surveys. (I blogged about it here actually... Anything That Pays...: “Filler” Income for Writers: Taking Surveys).

But I do recommend blogging to Moms who have a way with words and the desire to earn "extra" cash too.

Hmm... We have SAHMs and we have Working Moms... No WAHM acknowledgement? SAHMs and WAHMs could easily share a topic (For the very reason mentioned in this topic!) but full-time WAHMs face a whole unique set of challenges. Personally, I wouldn't have it any other way!

During the holidays I knitted skinny scarves and sold a boatload of them. It was great to bring in the extra cash. I couldn't get any movement from Etsy but word of mouth among my social group did the trick.

I sell Mary Kay part-time and I love it! I love teaching women how to look and feel good about themselves. It brings in a great income and I'm close to earning my free car where the insurance is paid for except for $20! Not everyone wants to earn the car, some take the money as a bonus. I love the flexibility it gives me, the confidence I've gained, and the people skills I've learned. This is a great business for beauty minded mamas who want a little extra income or a full-time career.

I'm still looking for a good work at home job I can get into, since I'm also disabled/legally blind, I can't drive around to do such. I've tried the survey thing, and had no luck so far....

I had an existing website for my service and recently added Amazon.com links. The same can be done on a blog especially if you are catering to a specific niche. My site can be seen as an example by Googling my username. Amazon has all the info on the ins and outs of how it works. The are other affiliate programs like Link Share, but Amazon is the most common.
Great thread Ladies! Thanks!
