Step 1
Create a schedule for yourself. Decide what your work hours will be. If your children are in school, plan on doing your work during school hours. If you have a baby at home, you may have to schedule your work around nap time. Another option is to start your work in the evening, after the rest of the family has gone to bed, or you can get up extra early in the morning to work. When you are deciding on a schedule, think about whether you are a night or morning person. Also, consider the type of work you will be doing to earn money. Some work at home jobs¸ such as writing, can be done at any time. Other jobs, such as telemarketing, can only be done during certain hours.
