Homemakers are the support system of every family. There is no denial of the fact that women are blessed with the talent of multi-tasking and the way in which they keep their homes organized, reflects their management skills and creative insight.
In today's fast-evolving world, it is vital to engage with full enthusiasm and convert your potential into something constructive. Home-makers, with all their powers, can also undertake certain businesses, whilst they manage their homes as always. This wouldn't only earn them the status of a helping hand in the family but also help them learn soft skills and work-life balance.

According to the reports, a major percentage of college graduates constitute women. More than half of this group in India do not take up any career and occupy themselves with household chores. However, with work from home opportunities, women can work for institutions by acting in the capacity of social media managers, counselors, virtual assistants, transcribers, etc.
2. Blogging
Expressing thoughts, spreading happiness and being an inspiration to the world out there is exactly the need of the hour. From fashion to food and from art and craft to sewing and from spirituality to health, get writing about your passion and discover the endless opportunities that come along.

Combining creativity and business acumen is the trendiest way of earning money. Trousseau packing can be started either as a small scale business or directly in collaboration with renowned event planners. Being involved in activities that you thoroughly enjoy will also keep your mind and soul calm.

The saying "Better late than never' holds true when it comes to coaching. Homemakers can catch up with forgotten hobbies and skills and start their own dance and music academies, instrumental classes, art lessons, yoga teaching, meditation sessions, laughter clubs, crotech, baking, etc. The feeling of sharing knowledge with others will fill your heart with bliss.
6. E-commerce
Home run small-scale businesses such as organic farming, candle making, handmade soaps and beauty products are some of the viable options for homemakers.
