Transcription jobs and working remotely for a transcription company fit very well in the hectic schedule of a stay at home mom. Because the work is performed on a per diem basis, mothers don’t have to fight the problem of being stuck working for hours on end instead of watching after and raising their child. The work can be done when the mom has downtime, day or night, within a very flexible schedule.
Because the work is paid as completed, moms don’t have to feel like they are under pressure to meet work demands every hour or lose pay. Instead, they earn income as the transcription work is completed. To become a transcriptionist, you just need a laptop, Internet access and a client service with work to assign.
Freelance writing is another big area where moms can excel and earn income. If you are a good writer, you can sign on with multiple services or clients and work remotely. The production is date-based, so as long as you completes the work timely by related deadlines, the writing earns income per project. This highly flexible work also works well for schedules where moms can’t stay put for four or eight hours on end and must care for their child. All you needs is a computer, word-processing software and an Internet connection to begin.
Alternatively, moms can do what they already do well: take care of children. Some moms extend the car they provide their own children to others, earning income providing small child daycare for other mothers. While this route requires a bit more in terms of meeting local and state regulations for child care, it can be lucrative for moms with a good organizational system and knack for children, including their own.
That said, not everyone is interested in being a research analyst or daycare provider. So to become a transcriptionist provides a good middle ground of steady work without extensive effort. Plus it works well over the Internet, so it’s accessible to all.
