These jobs for homemakers are ways to have your own independent earnings, even if you can’t work at a full-time job.
The 21st century is all about being independent, bold and smart. Working women jostle for time between their work and home, while some homemakers feel they cannot fancy upon their husband’s income hundred percent (or father or other male, as the case may be).
Well, it’s a matter of upping your involvement, which would keep a homemaker busy and earn her a bit of financial independence. This is especially for those in metropolitan cities, where making time out of your schedule can be challenging and where commuting to work might be quite a time-consuming task.
Let’s look at some part-time jobs for homemakers which would help a woman be financially independent within her comfort level.
If you have a knack for writing, offer yourself as a ghost writer to various websites/writing agencies. If you are a student of literature, technology, finance or economics, but happened to give up your career due to circumstances, there is no reason to feel guilty. There are lot of websites who are looking for freelance writers, and many agencies who recruit part time writers. Look for authentic ones, which have a good rating and pay their writers in time. If you are a travel freak, share your experience writing travelogues and guides for aspiring travellers.
You can even author your own book of fiction or non- fiction.
If you are good at cooking, offer your services to women you know, who lack the time to cook at home: If you are a mother of a school going kid, and a well networked individual, you might know people who lack time to cook their meals at home. These could be working women, bachelors, who cannot cook at home but are looking for healthy home cooking. It’s time you show your culinary skills and earn contracts for daily meals or party orders.
Baking experts have a great opportunity to earn by crafting cakes and biscuits at home.
If you are a good driver and drive your child to school, offer to pick up her or his friends. You might be a good driver, dropping and picking up your kids at school, it’s time you offer a lift to others following the same route.
When you are a mother, you will be extra careful about your kid’s friends, who share a comfortable relationship with you, as compared to a driver. Use the opportunity of the situation where your trust can earn you some extra pennies. But yes, that involves great responsibility.
With a bit of experience you might own a fleet of cars or manage a transport company of your own.
If you are good at craft/art, you could offer a helping hand to your kid’s friends making projects for school. Are you a creative person and help your kid accomplish his work education projects? Perhaps your child’s classmates are looking for the same help. Projects are an inevitable part of education and kids have no way of escaping them. All you can do is offer a helping hand, and convince other parents, who would willingly take your help. You can charge for your labour rightfully.
Conduct hobby classes during vacations around art, craft, culinary training, flower arrangement or any other creative affairs.
Make small investments like gold/ silver and see good opportunity selling them for money. Valuable metals like gold, silver and precious stones have always seen an incremental curve. You might make a good fortune if you buy gold/silver today and sell them after a certain period when the rate has increased.
Trust me, you need to have very good analytic skills, to earn from the metals trade. But, you could start with making small amount of investments, and then jump to higher values.
If you have a flair for share trading, you can risk investing your money in it.

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
