“If I steadily make $5,000 every month online, is it okay if I stop working?” I asked my darling hubby.
“Sure. In that case, can I be your house husband?” He said jokingly.
“Why not? At least we’d both be home with the kids.”
Lately, I’ve been thinking of a way to legitimately earn a steady income online.
(I emphasized legitimately because in my search for work – at – home opportunities, I’ve come across a lot of sites scamming poor people to shell out money just to make a quick buck.)
I’m thinking having an online business is one of the ways I can stay home with the kids and still contribute to the family finances.
Don’t get me wrong, I love my job now. It’s not just something to pay the bills. It’s something I actually enjoy doing.
But at the end of the day, the fact remains that my job is not my own and I am not my own boss. I work from 9 to 6 pm and my salary has a limit.
I’m thinking it would be great to have my own business where I command myself, my own working hours and my own earning capacity.
And since I’m not really the saleswoman type who can sell Tupperware and Avon products door to door, an online business is one of the best ways to go for me.
I’m still researching and reading up on some business models I found online. After digesting the information, I will road test them to see if they really work.
Rest assured, if I do find out a workable and legitimate way how to earn $5,000 or more per month, I’d still be blogging and I’d be sharing the techniques here.
Or, if you’re reading this and already know how to, would you care to share? You’d be scoring “karma points” in my book for helping this mother to spend more time with her husband and daughters.

Hi, why not do lay-out jobs and researches through the net. They are not really online jobs but it would evidently give you time at the net, and blogging all at the same time. Researchers earn big bucks too.

Really? Wow! That’s good for them. I hope I can do that too. I really, really want and need to. I’ll let you know when I discover something good.
if i knew i’d definitely be sharing with you. i’d love to stay at home with Mia too. hehe.
but seriously, what industry are you planning to tap into? food, rtw, design? sobrang natetempt na rin ako to find a “hobby” to get busy with, kaso lang hindi ko alam if i still have the spare time.
my bestfriend and i actually ventured into bags (we had it made) then shoes. but i couldn’t focus because it actually required a lot of online time and i was the logistics person. so better have that covered if you’re going into that business. i can give some tips too.
let me know what your project is!

Thanks Ris! I was thinking more of a web-based business. Since I love to write / blog, I might as well capitalize on that. I’m also going to test another form of online business, if it works out and I earn money from it, I’ll share it here.
