Do you go through each and every day feeling torn between your obligations at work and your commitments to your home and family life? Does it feel like every aspect of your life is only getting 50% of your time and attention because you are spread too thin? Do you wish you could truly “have it all”, a great and rewarding career plus the ability to be at home with the kids? If you’ve answered yes to these questions then it may be time to start looking into career options that are perfect for stay-at-home moms.
Just because you choose to pursue a career from your home doesn’t mean it can’t be rewarding both in challenge and monetary value. Choosing to work from home could be the way you can have it all. So, here’s a look at three potential career options that could work for you.
Become a Vlogger and/or Blogger
Thanks to ever-advancing technology, people now enjoy more screen-time than ever before. A study conducted last year showed that on average people spend six hours and 42 minutes every single day online, with half of that being done on a person’s mobile device. So, why not take advantage of this statistic and turn it into a career?
The career path of bloggers and vloggers (video blogging) has truly taken off, mostly in part to the YouTube platform. It has created a whole era of influencers that discuss everything and anything, amassing huge followings and a rather lucrative salary. Now keep in mind starting your own vlog or blog will take time, as it can take years to build a decent-sized following wherein you’re making good money. This career path takes creativity and dedication in order to grow your followers.
Another important tip is the production of your video content. To start with, a hand-held camera is perfect, but if you grow your business and decide to produce more professional video content, you’ll need help. Look for a production company with experience in live streaming that is also local, so it’s convenient. Take, for example, you live in Houston, a quick search for production companies in Houston is a good starting point.
Medical Transcriptionist
One industry that has been going through a period of growth is the healthcare industry. With the baby boomer population aging, it seems as though healthcare has become a real priority in the country. So, why not take advantage of this boom and look for a job in the industry? A medical transcriptionist can be the perfect work-from-home career option.
In this job, you will be listening to voice recordings from medical professionals and then transcribing them into a written report.
Marketing Professional
Then there is the field of marketing. This is another career that you can do from home, opening up your own consultancy business. You may even choose to take advantage of the current marketing trends and specialize in online digital marketing services for your clients.
Only Scratching the Surface
The great news is that this list is only scratching the surface of the many careers that can be done successfully from home. What this means is that there are lots of ways you can “have it all”.
