stay at home parent | Pen, Paper, Pan

It’s been over a decade since I became a stay-at-home parent and started blogging in 2009, earning my first passive income in 2010. Back then, it was common for mom bloggers to monetize their blogs, and those were the good old days of blogging.

As a stay-at-home parent, the passive income I receive from sponsored posts, link ads, and blogging has helped me in many ways. I’m able to buy essential items for my family, pay utility bills, and even contribute to my kids’ tuition.

I’m grateful for the opportunities that come my way through my blogs. This year marks my ninth or tenth year in the blogging business, and I’m still maintaining several blogs while continuously searching for new opportunities.

Currently, I’m receiving assignments from the following companies:

Intellifluence, Valued Voice, Payu2Blog, and Linkworth

If you’re interested in writing and earning from it, you can start by creating a blog.

Find a niche that you’re passionate about. You can start by writing a personal, lifestyle, or general blog.

If you already own a blog or a YouTube channel and want to monetize your site, you can sign up with Valued Voice and Payu2blog to start receiving tasks from them.

When you sign up using my referral link, I’ll receive a small commission. Additionally, Valued Voice can help you reach a wider audience if you’re a business owner. I would greatly appreciate it if you sign up through my referral link.

I wish you the best of luck in your online endeavors. Check out the links provided in this article, and I hope you receive your first assignment soon. Cheers!”

I’ve got these very useful tips from popsugar.com for moms out there to spare a few precious minutes to take care of themselves — self-care tips for you and me.

If you have 30 minutes for self-care.

Borrow your kid’s coloring book, put on a Spotify playlist you like, and start coloring.
Write down something that’s bothering you or keeping you up at night. Then start thinking about the steps you need to take in order to complete the goal, working backward. So if selling your house is something on your mind, think about all of the steps that are getting in your way of doing it (i.e. fix the leaky roof, have the basement repaired, paint the porch, etc.).
Stash your phone in your pocket and go on a nature walk.
Make yourself some tea and take a soothing bath.
Cue up your favorite workout and get exercising.
Set up a phone date with a friend you’ve lost touch with. Make sure they’re available to chat with you too.
Go to a bookstore and dive into a book or your favorite magazines.
