2. Increasing cost of living is making it hard for parents,
especially with children, to make both ends meet. They
usually both work to pay bills and expenses, often leaving
their child with a babysitter or a day-care center.
3. However, some parents cannot stand the thought of
leaving their child with strangers. They feel the need to
personally keep an eye on their child.
4. To contribute with the household expenses, a stay at
home parent usually starts his or her business at home.

6. One type of online business is internet marketing. All a
stay-at-home parent has to do is create a website and
affiliate with other websites.
7. This works by advertising the products of other websites
on your website, the company you are advertising will
usually give you a commission if a product has been sold
as a result of your efforts. To be successful in this
business, your website traffic should be high.
8. Targeted traffic is also important to make sure that people
who are visiting your website are at least interested to
consider buying the products you are advertising.
9. One great way to generate targeted traffic is to write an
article about the product you are advertising.

11. Make sure to make your articles interesting and easy to
read. Try to make your family and friends read the articles
first and get their opinion before submitting it to the
article-publishing website.
12. The great thing about posting an article is that it is often
free and free advertising is always good.

14. Another way to earn money at home is by using auction
websites. You can auction practically anything. It is also a
great way to get rid of unwanted items from your
house, or selling your crafts, such as home made knitted
clothing or your own paintings.
15. You can also buy items at auctions yourself and sell them
at a slightly higher price. It is hard to believe, but there is
always someone willing to buy your junk! Some people
even buy collector cards, like for instance, baseball cards.
16. Writing is also one great way to make money online while
staying home. A number of companies hire freelance
writers. This type of job can be fun and allows you to be
creative and independent. A company usually pays you
per article you write.
17. Home based business is also great for students who want
to either help their parents out with school expenses or
simply earn some extra cash.
18. The great thing about online business is that it does not
require you to leave your home often. It is also great for
parents who have children and cannot afford a day care
center or a babysitter. It is also a great way to spend more
quality time with their children and supervise them as
they grow up.
