Recommendation

Crystal Paine’s MoneySavingMom.com blog – a popular personal finance site – offers instructions on how to pinch pennies, spend wisely and make money from home. Paine presents workable strategies for generating income. She cites her personal experience as her go-to case study, sharing stories of past failures and successes. Paine, a homeschooling mother of three and a self-described “child of God,” offers practical advice openly shaped by her religious beliefs. If you want helpful counsel about making money given from an optimistic, faith-based perspective, she fills the bill, though readers who don’t share her viewpoint may find her a little preachy. While always neutral in matters of religion, getAbstract believes moms (and dads) seeking alternative ways to earn, save and give will find much to appreciate in Paine’s helpful guide.

Take-Aways

  • Income-earning ideas live at the intersection of your “skills, talents, passion and knowledge.”
  • Home-business opportunities include selling products or services online, selling directly, creating a store or taking a part-time job.
  • Identify your target customer, estimate your start-up costs and research business laws.

    This is a great summary to get started thinking about other ways to generate income. Not sure if reading the whole book will provide more details, but it's a good general start to get the wheels turning and motivate you to start writing out your thoughts and goals with intention.
