Freelance Writing as a Part-Time Gig

As I previously mentioned, being a working mom is not easy. One has to consistently monitor the cash inflows of the family. Raising kids means increasing expenses and increasing your investments. It is important to always expand the passive income.

A couple of months ago, I found a really good paying part-time job suitable for working moms who are looking for additional income. I came across a forum and the poster was looking for a part-time article writer. So, instead of spending hours browsing on the internet, I took the job and wrote five articles. After five articles, another five came. This just happened in a matter of days. After more than a week, another twenty articles were requested. I was just so happy! My PayPal account balance suddenly moves.

My writing interests increased again when I started to have writing projects. Researching, writing and reading. These three are the tasks that give free flowing ideas. I’d say writing stimulates my mind. Actually, it is very addicting. After each project, I wanted more and more. I want to have a continuous project. Honestly, I have stopped writing after I graduated college. Stepping the real corporate world and facing my profession stopped me from writing. Writing became less demanding since my work required me to be more analytical and reports are repetitive periodically.

My search for additional income as a working mother helped me realized that aside from reading, I love freelance writing. My very first client is very supportive up to now. I actually had a foreign client and requested my writing services and I was just referred. For newbie like me in freelance writing, her site, Freelance Writing Philippinesis very informative in searching for writing gigs and freelancing tips.

There is no harm in trying for any job. As long as it pays and credible then, it’s good to start. Any moms looking for part-time work is easy. As long as there is a will of finding one, there is always a way of landing the right one.

Hope I was able to inspire working moms out there for giving possible new income stream. Should you have suggestions regarding other means of income, you may leave your comment below. Thanks!
