No experience needed. Just your story, some WiFi, and a willingness to try.
Sometimes a mom will message me and say, “I want to start… but I don’t even know where to begin.”
I get it. When you’re exhausted, juggling kids, laundry, lessons, and dinner, starting something new feels like climbing a mountain in flip-flops.
So let’s take the pressure off.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed but still hungry for change, this is for you.
These are beginner friendly ways you can start earning from home this week, without needing a degree, a fancy setup, or all the answers. Just your story, some WiFi, and the courage to try.
Let’s walk through them one at a time.
1. Share One Affiliate Link for Something You Already Use
Think about a product or tool you use daily. A planner. A homeschool resource. A course that helped you.
Most companies have affiliate programs you can join for free. Share why you love it, take a picture of you using it, or write a simple caption.
Action Step:
Google “[product name] affiliate program” and sign up.
Share one honest experience post on Facebook or Instagram.
Become an affiliate for my products!
2. Create a Simple Pinterest Pin
Pinterest is still the easiest platform for beginners because one pin can work for you long after you create it. You don’t need perfection. You just need consistency.
Action Step:
Use Canva to create one pin.
Link it to a blog post, a digital freebie, or your favorite product.

3. Sell a Digital Product You Can Make in an Afternoon
Digital products are pure magic for busy moms.
You create something once and it can sell while you’re teaching math or washing dishes.
A few beginner friendly ideas:
• A simple checklist
• A meal plan
• A 10 page journal
• A homeschool routine chart
• Digital wall art
Action Step:
Open a free Payhip account and upload a simple PDF you create in Canva.
Start with something small. Progress beats perfection.
4. Share Your Story on Social Media
People buy from people.
You don’t need to be an influencer. You just need to be real.
Share a small moment from your day and what you’re learning through it.
Someone out there needs to hear your perspective.
Action Step:
Record a 10 second clip of your real life or write a short “what I learned today” post.
End with an encouraging line for other moms.
5. Offer a Micro Service
You don’t need to start a big business to offer value.
Think of small things you can do in an hour.
• Canva graphics
• Simple Pinterest pin creation
• Light proofreading
• Social media engagement for others
• Organizing digital files
Action Step:
Make one post offering a micro service for a small flat rate.
Let people DM you for details.
6. Join One High Quality Facebook Group and Engage Intentionally
You don’t need to spend hours scrolling.
Just show up with intention. Comment. Encourage. Offer value. Doors open when you’re consistent.
Action Step:
Pick one group, comment on 3 posts today, and share something helpful or kind.
This builds community, visibility, and future opportunities.
7. Repurpose Something You’ve Already Created
You don’t have to start from scratch.
That recipe you posted last month could be a pin.
That homeschool tip could be a blog post.
That encouraging comment you wrote could become a quote graphic.
Action Step:
Pick something you’ve already written.
Turn it into a pin, a reel, a caption, or a printable.
Repurposing saves time and grows your online presence faster than starting fresh every time.
Encouragement for the Mom Starting at Zero
Mama, you don’t need a perfect plan before you begin.
You just need one quiet moment of bravery and one simple step forward.
Start small.
Keep it doable.
Trust that every seed you plant today grows into something your future self will thank you for.
