When the kids are at school, may dalawang choices tayo as moms: (1) catch up on chores (na parang never natatapos 😅), or (2) finally grab a moment for ourselves. But here’s the thing—what if that little window of peace can also bring in extra income?
I know the struggle. Back when my kids were younger, I always thought, “Sana may konting extra para sa small treats or emergencies.” Eventually, I discovered side hustles that fit into a mom’s busy schedule—no need to leave the house or commit to full-time hours.
Here are some side hustles that you can try habang nasa school ang mga bagets:
- Freelancing (Writing, Virtual Assistant, Graphic Design)
Kung may skills ka sa writing, social media, or design, freelancing is a flexible way to earn. You can work on projects through platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, or even local Facebook groups. Best part? You set your hours. - Online Selling (Shopee, Lazada, FB Marketplace)
Whether it’s baked goodies, preloved clothes, or home finds, selling online is easier than ever. You can start small with things you already have at home and eventually grow it into a real business. - Tutoring (Online or Face-to-Face)
If you’re patient and good with kids, tutoring can be fulfilling and profitable. Some parents are willing to pay extra for help in Math, English, or even music lessons! - Content Creation
Mahilig ka bang mag-picture, magluto, or mag-share ng hacks? Content creation might be for you. From TikTok videos to blogging, you can start with your passion and eventually earn through ads, affiliate links, or collabs. - Surveys & Microtasks
For super short bursts of time, online surveys and microtasks are an easy way to add a little extra to your budget. Hindi kalakihan, pero pang-snacks or pang-load din!
👉 The secret? Start with one. Wag pilitin lahat at once. Try something that excites you—something you can see yourself doing kahit hindi agad malaki ang kita. Who knows? That little side hustle might just grow into something bigger.
