Jobs For Stay at Home Moms – Single Mom’s Best Friend

Sometimes it can be hard to make ends meat as a single mom, month to month barely getting by. Fortunately, there are services on the internet that can aid your financial situation. Paid survey sites have been helping single moms pay there bills and expenses for years, they’ve gotten so popular that they have been rated #1 by WAHM (work at home mom) magazine.

Here’s how it works. Companies such as Life Lock, Blockbuster, and Gamefly are so confident that you will like there services that they are willing to PAY YOU to try them. It sounds a bit fishy but it makes sense. They are so confident that people will use their products and services that they will pay you just to take the trial. So these companies work through a “GPT” (Get Paid To) service. This is really a middle man, it just keeps a list of all advertisers willing to pay people for these trials. They keep a small percentage of the profit, and the rest is returned to you!

So, for example, you sign up for the Blockbuster trial. You’re paid 10$ within about 20 minutes of signing up and you can either stay in the trial or cancel. Even when you cancel, you keep the 10$ you were given. It’s really that simple. You can easily make 30-40$ in about 30 minutes of signing up for trials.

This is a very simple way to make extra cash, and because it has no work schedule or demanding boss, it is an excellent job for stay at home moms. I would recommend it to any single mom or otherwise who needs extra spending cash or needs help paying the bills.

Work-At-Home Moms – Managing Your Time

I think that anyone who is a work-at-home mother must run into this issue – how do you manage your work time while at home and also taking care of your children?

Do you schedule a strict regimen and then stick to it no matter what? Hmmm. Well, if you’re a mother you might have tried this and found out that’s it’s not quite possible while also handling the various interesting adventures that come up with children. OK, I’ll just go ahead and say it – uh uh, it’s not going to happen.

You know, I don’t know that there is an exact answer to this. Sometimes I spend all of the day with my little one, especially when it feels like he needs the attention. There are other days when he’s completely enraptured with his own thing, playing with his toys, etc. then work in more time.

OK, I thought of some good advice – don’t expect to have a very strongly structured day (e.g., 10:00 – make phone calls, 11:00 prepare next campaign, etc.). Make a “to-do” list of things to get done in the next day or two, then do them when it’s easily done. (My best times are naptime, after bedtime, when he’s playing with his toys.)

My child is my priority. I’ve also got to get food on the table, and am fully responsible for that as a single mom. But I’ve found out that I can work from home (strictly), be a successful businesswoman and a successful mother with a healthy, happy child. I’m doing it.

PS: Mom’s – I also find that if I take my child to the park, go outside for a walk for an hour or two, the whole day seems to go much better for me and my little one.

PS – 2: Don’t forget to give yourself a pat on the back now and then.

I have had a mobile home given to me. I have to have it moved, I have to buy a refrigerator for it, and it needs a little work. It’s a really good deal if I can get some help getting things set up. If you know of any grants I can get please let me know. I’m a single mom. I’m getting the moblie home so my daughter can come live with me.

Single Moms Dealing With Financial Stress

admin — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 22:28:36 +0000

Being a mother is hard enough let alone being a single mom with financial issues. Stress can quickly take over due to the high demands put on single mothers and everything they have to do.

Stress comes in the form of getting the kids up in the morning, showered, dressed and ready for school. Making them breakfast and preparing their lunch. Getting them to the bus stop on time or dropping them off at school. Then after school there is dinner, help with the homework and bed time stories.

Now most single moms wouldn’t mind doing the stuff listed above. But when you mix those with financial hardships then instead of enjoying them they start to become a lot more stressful.

Stress from financial matters for single moms can sometimes be hard to deal with. A single mom is unlikely to have help from a partner or parent. And when they are feeling overwhelmed with stress from everyday life and financial hardship there isn’t anyone there to lean on or help out.

Financial and family stress for single moms can be dealt with in a couple of ways. First make sure and set some time aside for yourself each day. During this time read from your favorite book or watch your favorite reality show. Another thing single moms can do is just relax and sit in a quiet room and reflect on the things in their life that is causing stress. More often than not, just sitting and relaxing and thinking about how to handle your stress will make it go away.
