It All Starts with Something You Love
I remember when I started blogging, it wasn’t really for money. I just wanted to share recipes, stories, and little moments of mom life. But as time went by, I realized… hey, this could actually earn! 💖
And that’s the beauty of today’s world — you can turn your passion into profit, right from home. Whether you love baking, crafting, writing, or taking photos, there’s a way to make it work for you and your family.
So if you’ve ever thought, “Sayang naman, gusto ko sana pagkakitaan ‘tong hobby ko,” this post is for you, momma!
1. Baking & Cooking — The OG Mom Business
Love spending time in the kitchen? You can start small:
- Sell your bestsellers to friends or online (FB Marketplace, Instagram, Shopee Food).
- Offer “made to order” goodies for birthdays and holidays.
- Start a recipe blog or TikTok food channel — brands love to collab with food creators!
Bonus tip: Take nice photos and share short videos. Food content always performs well online.
2. Crafts, Art, and Personalized Gifts
From crocheting to handmade cards, people love unique, heartfelt items. You can:
- Sell on Shopee, TikTok Shop, or Etsy.
- Offer customized gifts — tote bags, keychains, digital prints.
- Create DIY content and tutorials on social media (these can earn from views too!).
The best part? You can do it during quiet hours — maybe after the kids sleep or on weekends.
3. Writing, Blogging, and Virtual Work
If you love expressing yourself, writing is one of the easiest ways to earn.
Start a blog (like this one!), write for online publications, or become a freelance virtual assistant.
There are platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, and OnlineJobs.ph where moms like us can offer writing, admin, or content creation services — all from home.
It’s flexible, rewarding, and you can build your schedule around your kids.
4. Photography or Video Creation
Do you love taking photos of your family, food, or travels? That skill can earn, too!
- Sell your photos on sites like Shutterstock or Pexels.
- Create social media content for small businesses.
- Start a YouTube or TikTok page with tips, reviews, or vlogs.
Even your smartphone is enough — no need for fancy cameras!
5. Gardening and Home-Based Plant Selling
Plants became everyone’s favorite during the pandemic — and the trend hasn’t died down!
- Grow herbs, succulents, or ornamental plants.
- Sell online or at weekend markets.
- Start a mini “plant tips” blog or YouTube channel (these get high traffic too!).
It’s relaxing, healthy, and profitable — a true mom triple win! 🌱
6. Teaching What You Know
If you’re good at something — math, English, baking, or makeup — teach it online!
There are platforms like Classgap, Preply, and Outschool that hire Filipino moms as tutors.
Or you can simply create your own online class using Facebook Groups or Zoom.
Share your knowledge, earn extra income, and inspire others.
Mommy’s Note
Turning your hobby into a side hustle doesn’t mean it has to feel like work. Start small, have fun, and grow as you go.
Remember, momma: your talent has value. 🌸
And who knows — that little weekend hobby might just become your next big thing. 💖
