How Much Can You Make

The earning potential of stay at home moms is limitless. How much can you make is only dependent on the time and energy you devote, and the home based business you devote these to. A mom with a lot of time in her hands can even earn as much or more than an office worker.

Here are some home based businesses you can get into and how much can you make with them:

1. MLM Programs: The earning potential of MLM programs depend on the cost of what you are selling; and the percent that you get from your sales and your recruits’ sales. Say a product cost $10 and you are able to sell about ten a day. A typical commission rate is ten percent, which gives you $10 a day. Add this to your percentage for your recruits’ sales, which we will peg at one percent. If you have ten recruits, who also sell about ten products a day, that is an extra $10 a day from your downline. In a month, that is about $600, which is great extra income. It is especially great if you get to do all this while just spending about an hour in front of the computer or the phone. And this amount can multiply if ever you decide to devote more time into the program.

2. Affiliate Programs: Like MLM Programs, affiliate programs give you a percentage of each sale you do. There usually is no downline scheme but at least earning potential is straightforward. Online, you can find affiliate programs being offered by service websites like ISPs, domain registrars, web design companies and many more. Commission rates here are between ten to twenty percent. With this, you can pretty much earn about $500 each month by just sending some emails every now and maybe setting up a website with your affiliate link. The world is literally your market when you set up a website. You need to devote some time in optimizing your site though so people can easily find it when they search for your services.

3. Handicraft and edible goodies: How many times have you heard people complain “It is not like how mom made it!” about food they bought from a story? Yes, it is always not like how mom made it because moms add a dash of love in everything they do: be it bake some goodies or knit/sew/create handicrafts. Moms have great advantage here. Plus, you get all profits!
