In today’s time, women are not only handling the house, but are also earning at home with their ability. Especially housewives, which are the backbone of the family, are now gradually making their small hobbies a means of earning. With the changing times, women are crossing traditional borders and making themselves financially self -sufficient with their skills. This change is not only helpful for the family but is also becoming an example of women empowerment in the society.
The first step is to identify hobby
Many times housewives have time, but it is difficult to decide in which field they can do something different. First of all it is necessary to recognize your hobbies and skills. Some women like to cook, some are interested in sewing, embroidery, weaving or painting, applying mehndi, running a beauty parlor or cooking-boaking. This interest can become a good career option for them later.
Support of social media and online platforms
Today the Internet has made everything easier. Women can bring their talent at home through social media platforms like YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, or WhatsApp groups. Many women are running cooking channels on YouTube, some are selling handmade jewelery or clothes on Instagram. This not only connects people, but also creates a reliable customer class.
Short start, big dream
Initially, not necessarily the investment is very high. Women can start from one corner of their house or also from the kitchen. For example, tiffin service can also be started with only 2-3 customers. Sewing or boutique work can be started in a room of the house. At the same time, works like online tuition, content writing or designing are possible only from a laptop and internet.
Use local markets and fairs
Many housewives make their products such as pickles, papad, handicraft items, ashes or festivals and sell it in local markets or in fairs. The government and many NGOs also organize women’s fairs and handicraft exhibitions to promote such efforts. Taking advantage of these opportunities, women can give an identity to their work.
Some popular choice of work sitting at home
Online tuition or coaching – Women can earn income sitting at home by studying mathematics, science, English or other subjects online.
Cooking or Baking-Make new dishes and share it on social media or take orders through home delivery.
Handmade Products – Make and sell online by making jewelry, greeting cards, gifts etc.
Blogging or YouTube Channel – Take hobbies to people through words or videos and earn from montage.

Steps move towards self -sufficiency
In this way, when women start earning on their own, they also increase confidence. They become strong in decision making and become a perfect for their children. The earnings of both the husband and wife also improve the level of the house and women are able to prove themselves that big dreams can be fulfilled even inside the house.
Help from government and institutions
Today many government schemes like Mudra Yojana, Startup India, Mahila Entrepreneur Scheme etc. have been started to provide financial assistance to women. Apart from this, many online platforms like Meesho, ETSY, Amazon etc. are also working to add women entrepreneurs and earn opportunity.
