The development of a baby is an interesting and exciting process: the first smile, the first steps … Research in this area can be carried out non-stop if you have kids once a year or at least in two years. But sometimes a healthy young woman, burdened with intelligence, wants some other realization in her life. Therefore, sooner or later, the question of work arises before every mother. At first, the baby sleeps a lot, then he plays for a long time himself. Your hands are freed up and you have a lot of time that you want to use it with benefit. It's time to look for work from home. But before you rush to buy newspapers and magazines for recruiting, decide on your desires (what do you want?), Abilities (what can I do?), Limitations (what can I afford?), Convenient time (when to work?). This preparation will make your search much more productive.

Smart car

For example, you have a home computer (new Klondike), and you know how to use it. Computer skills (ability to use Windows, Word, Excel, Access, Outlook, PageMaker, Photoshop) will make homework easier. However, the variety of possible activities is directly proportional to your level as a user: the more you do, you earn more.

Typing

For a start, you can master the blind ten-finger printing method - you can type texts."

The basics of computer literacy

Another way to make money is to teach "neophytes" to work on a computer (initial skills in working with Windows, Word, Excel, Access, mastering programs: Photoshop, Adobe illustrator). Emergency training is in special demand on the eve of interviews, therefore, it is better to post announcements "urgent assistance in finding a job" near labor exchanges and recruiting agencies. Demand for data entry operators is high. The work is easy if you own Access, otherwise, you can learn it from the help in the program itself or from a book. Getting familiar with Excel spreadsheets will help you get up to speed quickly. What do you need to do? Enter data received by email into a form or spreadsheet. The results are sent to the employer by mail, by phone under dictation or by fax. Payment, as is customary, is piecework: $ 1 - one entry. Such vacancies are published on the websites www.job.ru, www.superjob.ru.

A small word of caution: these recruiting sites do not check job advertisements thoroughly enough.

Often, skills are required to decode text or translate it into another format (HTML), this work has long ceased to be manual - there is a program that will do it for you. Be attentive to the test items: often lazy, but quick-witted students, publish announcements of good work (editing, proofreading, decoding), you are offered a 4-page test, which you happily redo and wait for an answer like a nightingale of summer.

Proofreading and Editing

The next area of application of abilities: editing, proofreading - in a word, manipulating the text. Proofreading - correcting punctuation and spelling errors. Editing is a more complex process: it can be technical, literary, scientific. Sometimes you have to shorten the text, look for logical errors, review. This type of activity has almost always been remote, and the pay is piecework. The market is full of offers, since it is necessary to edit the texts with the advent of the Internet … To our joy. Proofreading is paid in different ways, about 20 rubles per sheet, The conditions are ideal for a young mom, busy with household chores, but the work requires congenital or acquired literacy, editing skills, attentiveness, accuracy and, as a rule, higher philological or editorial education. It is preferable to look for editorial vacancies in publishing houses or through the labor exchange.

Graphomania

Journalism provides not only a wonderful extra money, but also the joy of creativity. There are two conditions: the ability to write and "punching power". Because you will have to offer your articles when dealing with the editor-in-chief, who can be a very, very serious and busy person. Therefore … writing letters with an offer of cooperation is an ideal way of communicating with the editorial staff. For young moms, the option of a freelance reporter or article writer is fine. Fees are paid - either per volume or per line (up to $ 2). It turns out 10-25 dollars per article. There are a lot of suggestions, but read carefully so as not to fall into the trap. Double-check the addresses of the editors if the ad contains the site of the publication. It often happens that someone very smart asks, on behalf of a famous magazine, authors to send unique ideas or finished articles on a certain topic. Do not be surprised if, after a certain number of days, you find your story, signed with different initials, in some edition.

Here and there

Every mother who is fluent in a foreign language can earn money as translations. It is better to have some experience behind you, otherwise the easy earning will turn into flour. To help - Winlingvo computer dictionary or online text translators. Payment for translations - per page: 1-5 dollars per sheet. Basically, technical translators are required, and this is not for everyone on the shoulder. To get orders, place an ad in free job advertisements and online counterparts. Do not forget about the so-called "word of mouth": a person who likes your translation will definitely recommend you to someone else. It is better to work directly with publishers if the level of language proficiency is high.

I read it - tell me!

Almost all magazines have pages dedicated to reviews of new books, films and audio tapes or discs. Constantly being at home, you read or watch something, so write about it! Call the editorial office and find out the conditions.

I teach, I taught, I will teach

Tutoring is a universal way of earning money. This is something everyone does - from college students to retirees. The requirements for tutors are different: some like young, some experienced teachers (teachers of Russian language and literature, foreign languages, mathematics, history, chemistry and physics are in demand). The payment for an hour of a tutor is 10-20 dollars, depending on the size of the wallet of the parents of a negligent student. Difficulties are usually associated with the location of the classes: if your apartment is overcrowded or is in a state of permanent renovation, you will have to give up tutoring …

This is not a complete list of work at home. Left overboard "crocheting", processing correspondence, etc. But in any activity has its own pitfalls. It is only interesting to read about the adventures of Ostap Bender! Therefore, if there is an Employment Center or a Labor Exchange in your city, take all the documents (passport, diploma, certificates) and go straight there. In Moscow, under the Labor and Employment Committee, there is a women's business center dealing with the development of home-based work and a home-based labor exchange, where it makes sense to turn.
