Few people manage to fully devote themselves to a child on maternity leave. Some are forced to seek earnings by a banal lack of money, others are not satisfied with the complete material dependence on their spouse. Whatever the reason, finding ways to make money while on maternity leave isn't that hard.
Instructions
Step 1
Take up tutoring. This way of earning money is suitable for those who know foreign languages well, and not necessarily only English. For the study of exotic languages in Russia, such as Chinese, Japanese or Greek, people are ready to give good money. And after the introduction of the Unified State Exam in schools, the demand for good tutors has grown exponentially. If you can explain in a simple and intelligible way and are well versed in the school curriculum, then you can earn no less from tutoring than working as a full-time teacher at school.
Step 2
Take computer courses at home. You can make money if you are well versed in computer programs, own a professional Photoshop or can explain in an accessible way how to use office programs.
Step 3
Start art courses or a creative class at home. If you graduated from a music or art school, once studied the art of ikebana, or were seriously interested in the philosophy of feng shui, now is the time to remember your knowledge and try to get material benefits from it.
Step 4
Use the professional experience and knowledge that you gained prior to maternity leave. If you have worked as a lawyer or psychologist, then you can become an on-line consultant in a field that is well known to you. Skype consultations have become more and more popular lately, and besides, it is a great way to constantly improve your professional level, even while on long maternity leave.
Step 5
Find a remote job over the Internet. You can earn by filling out questionnaires and conducting various surveys on the network. This work is not difficult, but earnings are usually very modest. If you write correctly and you have an easy and beautiful style, then try to make money by writing articles for various sites. If you are good at drawing and are proficient in special programs such as Coral or Photoshop, then you can try yourself as a web designer. There are many freelance exchanges on the Internet, where after registration it is enough to leave your data and samples of the best works. Then you just have to wait for orders.
Step 6
Think about what you can do with your hands. If you knit well, make toys from salt dough or weave with beads, then it's time to turn your hobby into a way of earning money. Hand-made has long been very popular in Europe. There are also enough people in Russia who are ready to give money for exclusive and unusual things.
