<\/a><\/p>\nThe good news is that there are several side gigs<\/a> you can take on that will allow you to work from home or create your own hours, which will help you earn extra money without giving up the time you spend with your family. From blogging to putting your creative abilities to good use, there are plenty of things you can do to make some extra dough this year.<\/p>\n MyGirlyNames.com<\/a> invites you to read on for some of the best side gigs for single parents and how to make them a success.<\/p>\n Starting with a home office that fits your needs is imperative, so think about what kind of job you\u2019ll be doing and which tools you\u2019ll need to make it work. Artists usually require good light, an adjustable desk, and storage space for all the tools of the trade, while a writer might need a comfy chair and a good computer. No matter what kind of job you take on, having a good workspace will help you stay focused.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re creatively inclined, there are several side gigs that can help you earn extra money and have fun at the same time. Photography<\/a>, calligraphy, jewelry-making, woodworking, and painting or drawing are all great side jobs, especially if you can start your own online shop where you can sell your goods. Platforms like Etsy<\/a> and Society6 are perfect for handmade items, and they\u2019ll help you get your work into the hands of people all around the world. To really get your creative venture going, come up with a catchy name for your business and an eye-catching logo.<\/p>\n If you hit a creative block, consider using a free, online generator to come up with a name for your business. Lastly, even if you use an e-commerce website, make a point to promote your works on social media with a business page to really help your business stand out.<\/p>\n If you have a nice writing style and know your stuff when it comes to grammar and run-on sentences, freelance writing might be for you. There are tons of websites out there looking for content, so it\u2019s important to do a little digging to find the right place for your work. Are you knowledgeable about how bourbon is made? Do you have strong opinions on movies and music? Look at your hobbies and interests, and filter the jobs this way.<\/p>\n You can also become a blogger<\/a>. While this method takes a little while to make money, you can eventually earn quite a bit by placing ads on your page and promoting your site on social media. Think about what you\u2019d like to blog about–parenting, for instance–and give it a unique spin to attract readers.<\/p>\n As a parent, you\u2019re likely already familiar with cleaning the house, so why not put your skills to good use by cleaning up<\/a> for someone else? There are many types of people looking for help with daily household chores, including the elderly and disabled. In many cases, you may be able to make your own hours or bring your kiddo along as a helper, meaning you won\u2019t have to find a sitter to get the job done.<\/p>\n Whatever direction you take, be sure to protect your homefront. For moms and dads, this often means choosing to establish an LLC. An LLC, or limited liability company, will protect your personal assets in the event your new business is sued. There are other perks as well, like tax advantages and scalability. Plus, it\u2019s quick and easy to establish through an online platform like ZenBusiness. You just walk through a handful of steps, and in two hours tops you\u2019re ready to start earning that extra income.<\/p>\n Starting a side gig can be overwhelming if you don\u2019t have a good plan. Think about the best job for your skills and needs, and get organized beforehand. With a little preparation, you can make your new job a success and maintain your status as an excellent parent at the same time.<\/p>\n Lacie Martin<\/p>\n Raisethemwell.org<\/a><\/p>\n lacie@raisethemwell.org<\/a><\/p>\n — Advertising —————————-<\/strong><\/p>\nStart with a good workspace<\/strong><\/h3>\n
