3 Ideal Home Based Business Ideas For Single Moms
As single moms, you have greater responsibility towards
your child because you have to act three roles: father,
mother, and breadwinner. Its due to the greater demands
of parenting that makes having a home-based business
particularly appealing to single parents. If you are
interested in starting out one, here are a few ideas to
consider.
Housekeeping Services
This is especially helpful to mothers whose children are
at the age where they still need constant supervision.
Of course, you can't very well offer housekeeping
services if you don't have the necessary skills. This
basically include all tasks of house cleaning like
sweeping floors, dusting off the furniture, changing the
bed, and taking care of dirty dishes and laundry.
When accepting housekeeping jobs, do make it clear to
your client that you may have to take your child with
you. You will, of course, have to reassure them that
having your child with you will not affect the quality
of your work in any way.
You can base your rate on the types of tasks required of
you, the size of the area requiring cleaning, and the
amount of time required for job completion.
You should have a good-quality vacuum cleaner as well as
basic cleaning tools and supplies. You should also work
on distinguishing your company from others. You could,
for instance, offer restocking your client's groceries,
cooking their meals, or walking their dog. Anyone may be
able to do housekeeping, but few can do it with their
own style and flair.
Pet Services
Being an animal lover could be your basis for your next
bread and butter. If you want to offer pet services
straight from home, you'll probably need a medium-sized
garden or lot for pets to run free in. Pet services
include dog-sitting, giving them their daily walks,
caring for aging and sickly pets, and training them.
It would help if you've got a training certificate but
you can always give them a one-day free trial of your
services, such as offering your clients to teach their
dogs how to fetch the newspaper. You should always have
a brochure or marketing material ready that will detail
all the lessons their pets will learn once they're
enrolled.
You can certainly offer pet grooming, too, but this
would require you to invest a bit in equipment and
services. You'll need a hair dryer, at the very least,
including all the grooming materials and supplies
specially designed for animals.
Network Marketing
Last but not the least, you should also consider trying
your hand in network marketing. In this type of
business, it's purely your marketing skills that will be
your investment. You don't have to spend anything, but
you have to know how to identify which people make the
ideal prospect and how to look for their hot button
the one that will make them respond immediately to your
offer.
In network marketing, you can conduct your business
either online or in person. You should also focus on
recruiting more people to make up your downline because
the more people there are in your team, the more time
you'll have free to spend with your child.
These three home-based business ideas are commonly
considered perfect for single moms because they offer
you flexible working hours and allow you to bring your
child to work if necessary. Good luck in carving a
future for you and your child!
