This post is going to be about the “10 Ways I Make Money From Home”. It’s no secret I love working from home. At times it may seem that I am all over the place, which I am and it is purposely intentional.
So let’s get this multiple streams of income party going…
- Affiliate Marketing
- Email Marketing
- Facebook Group Membership
- Webinar Hosting, Moderation, Recording, and Editing
- Selling on Amazon
- Kindle
- Merch by Amazon
- Direct Sales
- Social Media
- Online Wellness Shopping Club
Affiliate Marketing
The way I like to explain Affiliate Marketing is to compare it to a good old fashion referral program. As an Affiliate I refer people to products I am promoting with links. These links I share on my WordPress website, my social media profiles, and my email list.
If someone clicks through to the offer and clicks the buy button I receive a commission sometimes immediately or 30 days later. It just depends on the affiliate program I am promoting.
We are going to be circling around Amazon several times through this post. Circle number one, I am an Amazon Associate AKA affiliate. You will find a full disclosure in the sidebar of this site stating I am an affiliate for Amazon. Other programs I promote are Amazon Seller Courses and Resources, Internet Marketing Products, Plugins, etc…
By the way there are several affiliate links in this post.
Do you want to know what my process is? I have a PDF over at Mom Affiliate Marketer that I have outlined my entire process in.
Email Marketing
I use Aweber and Get Response for my email marketing. When people come to my site I have an optin offer for them to subscribe to my newsletter. When they opt in I now have their permission to pop into their email in box with tips, and offers that have affiliate links in them.
At the bottom of each blog post there is also an opt in form, it informs my readers every time I make a new post on my website.
Facebook Marketing Group
BoloMart is a monthly premium membership group I manage in Facebook. The group is all around “Selling on Amazon” and I share my sourcing finds. A small Amazon Seller Mastermind group.
Webinars
I have an amazing Go To Webinar account that seats 1,000. Which allows me to host webinars for those who don’t want to pay for a Go To Webinar account. So the host does not have to wear several hats during the webinar, I moderate for them, record and edit. Sometimes re-purposing the webinar into several bite sized key points with Camtasia. This allows the client to upload those bite sized key points to YouTube and drive traffic to their offers with Video. I charge an hourly rate for this.
Selling on Amazon
Selling physical products on Amazon via their FBA “Fullfilment by Amazon” program is my main gig. Shopping is so much fun it is like going on a treasure hunt. “Retail Arbitrage” is my main focus, but landed my first wholesale account this year. This resource page here on the site will provide you will the best premium training courses that have helped me build my Amazon business.
Kindle
This is one area I really have to get focused on again. I have published 2 Kindle books, and I am also an author of 2 chapters in 2 different books. The book that generates income every month, has nothing to do with my niche. You can check out my author page on Amazon here. The Book’s Title? “Baby Gender Reveal Party Guide Book“.
I am currently in love with Adult Coloring books and slowly making my way through Shawn Hansen’s Adult Coloring Book Courses. You can do a search for more of her great courses in the side bar. Just put her name in the search bar.
Merch by Amazon
Circle, Circle, Circle Amazon… I learned about Merch by Amazon from Chris Green when I purchased his book “Merch Life: An Introduction to Using Merch By Amazon to Design Shirts and Make Money.” With this book I was able to hire a graphic artist to convert some of my daughters drawings into graphics I could put on shirts, here are a couple of them. The following 2 shirts come in Women’s and Children’s sizes.

Direct Sales
When I went to the BAMC16 conference I ran in to a blast from the past. Cari Blake and Diana McCarthy, two Tastefully Simple consultants. I was very bitter when I lost my consultancy years ago, I am over it. You may read into that in some of my older posts. But now I am back with TS and grateful to be back, you know I am a foodie at heart. So I will be sharing Tastefully Simple when I have foodie moments. I have always loved the seasonings and kept my clients info. My approach to Direct Sales is a little different then most. I don’t have time to go do parties. But I have a Facebook Group for TS and will host catalog parties. So I will be treating these businesses the way I do my affiliate marketing. Which is driving traffic to my consultant websites with pictures, videos, social shares, and blog posts.
In the past I had also been part of more then one Direct Sales company at the same time. So when I fell in love, and I mean literally fell in love with Perfectly Posh it was a no brainer to sign up.
I love everything about Posh, it will be a great outlet for my “Girlie I need to be Pampered” moments. I love how they spoil their customers and consultants with their amazing Perks Rewards program. Make sure to click here and sign up on my site for your Perks, you instantly get 250 of them when you do! Just click on the “Rewards” tab when you get there.
For more information visit my post on 15 Must Have Posh Products, and definitely join my Poshalicious Facebook Group.
Bloggers, are recognizing the power of Direct Sales. I am not the only one who has added Direct Sales as another source of income. My friend Jana “Merlot Mommy” is a LuLaRue consultant.
Social Media
Oh how I love Social Media, it’s great for driving traffic back to my home here on the web. Also, the people I have met and the relationships that have been created are priceless.
Not to mention all the tools for scheduling and optimizing your social media that are available. These allow me to appear like I live in Social Media, but I don’t.
This post is getting a little long so let’s go on to the last way I will be adding to my arsenal to generate income.
Online Wellness Shopping Club
I love to be paid to shop that is already a proven fact with selling on Amazon. Another friend of mine who is a well known credible blogger reached out to me this week. To share a home-based business that is not an MLM, you don’t have to sell anything. It’s an online wellness club (like a Sams or BJ’s but healthy and online only) that you can make money by just referring customers.
They have a 95% return customer rate each month and the products are really fantastic. It’s the fastest home based growing in the US and world. It’s amazing. And the money is real. It’s attainable and it’s “RESIDUAL.”
Also, the company pays you in product dollars to learn about them, even if you are a customer and not part of the business side. Which the company is made up of 80% customers only and 20% are in the business.
But what got me hook line and sinker is getting up to 15% rebates from places I purchase my Amazon Inventory from, just for being a customer. Let me tell you what I hate shopping for, my home. You know like laundry detergeant and stuff?
So now all those things will be coming to my door, saving me money and time. Check out The Online Wellness Shopping Club and create an account.
There you have it, these are the 10 ways I generate income from home. And it could not be possible if I did not have my own home here on the web, I love my WordPress!
Make sure to comment and get some Comment Luv on me, especially if you are doing something different to generate multiple streams of income.
