Chatted with a WorkAtHomeMother(WAHM) friend, Maria today, and we were talking on how we can creatively multiplying our sources of income and at the same time spending money that we have in our hand wisely. For me, having multiple streams of income is a good idea, in order to survive current economic weather.
Like Maria, she is so into writing and has been contributing much of her writings to online magazines, other than her own blog . Other than that, she also does some translations and copy-writings.
Her English command is very good, so I suggested her to offer English-speaking coaching and English writing class. The potential customer could be those people who want to brush up their speaking as well as writing skills. English is widely used nowadays so it is important to be able to speak at least with proper (or right-sounded :))grammar, if not completely perfect. This whole speaking and writing thing need practices, so Maria can become your English-practice buddy.
I have always supported those who want to become a WAHM, and Maria has been sharing this idea with me since the first time we talked about this(that was 3-4 years ago). Now, she has made the move, and now a proud mother managing her family(a husband, two kids, lots of chores) and her writing jobs.
I know there are lot of other working mothers out there sharing the same dream:to stay at home, look after the family and at the same being able to earn some income. It can happen, InsyaAllah, with proper planning and lots of prayers, nothing is impossible.
Anyway, to those who want to improve their English skills, and seeking for help and advice, please don't be hesitate to contact her at mariaz.writing@gmail.com.
Good luck.
