It’s the dream of many to work from home earning six figures per year. Despite what you may be thinking, it’s really not that unusual. There are many women doing just that and without a fancy degree.
Blogger
There are so many bloggers, ladies just like you, earning six figures blogging. There is no fancy degree in blogging. We are all self-taught. One of my favorite things about blogging is there is no income ceiling here. You don’t necessarily need to work more hours to make more money. You just need to work smarter and get the proper education and tools.
Suggested Resources

I took this one in October and have been reaping the rewards ever since. I’ve been able to GREATLY increase my blogs’ traffic and income in a very short period of time.

Will blogging last forever? I don’t know. But you can be d*mn sure it won’t be one of those things I look back on in 10 years and think man, I should have gotten in on that.
Consultant
If you have a background in business management you will be happy to know there are a lot of women earning a great income from home as consultants. Help your clients with things like funding, finances or finding a job. You aren’t performing the actual work. You are simply coming up with the strategy and direction a business needs to take to be successful. Networking and organization are the keys to success. Here are a few consulting arenas that are thriving:
- Advertising
- Business
- Career Counseling
- Insurance
- Publishing
- Writing
Social Media Manager
Social marketing is big business these days. Everyone from big corporations to small bloggers are using social platforms to boost their business and brands. Social media managers are profiting from the need in a big way doing everything from content scheduling to customer service to social media audits.
Andrea Vahl has an awesome Social Media Manager School that can help you learn the ropes of the industry. If you don’t want to wait until the next session opens in April, check out Alexis Grant’s ebook.
Direct Sales
Network marketing has been experiencing a steady increase the past two years. This is especially true for the wellness and services industries. In 2013, 16.8% of American households included at least one person in the direct sales industry.
While the median income for direct sellers per a recent survey was $6,200 per year, 15% – that’s 2.4 million U.S. consultants – made $50,000 or more in 2013. Of those, there are thousands upon thousands earning $100,000 or more. What has given direct sales a bad name is that many are lead to believe this is easy money, people will be banging down your door. Wrong.
The number of hours you put into your direct sales business directly relates to your income. 70% of direct sellers spend less than 15 hours per week on their business! Imagine the potential if you put in 30 or 40. Take a look at the 2013 Earnings Disclosure from Young Living. Pay special attention to the increase in income from those that work 5 or less hours per week to even those that put in just 17 hours per week.
And keep in mind, 70% of direct sellers report the majority of their sales come from one-on-one contacts, not parties. Don’t let the public speaking thing deter you.
The direct sales game is changing with online technology. They are finally catching up. Now is a very exciting time to get started in direct sales.
