Working from home has a lot of benefits, especially if you’re a stay-at-home mom, and you’d love to earn an income. Recently, everyone is looking for an opportunity to stay home while still staying financially afloat.
As a result of the global lockdown, more and more people are beginning to discover that working from home with the shorter workweek, and reduced hours, provides a lot of flexibility. With the rise in self-employment and freelancing, the 9 to 5 workday may soon be a relic of the forgotten past.
While running a business may not be the most natural thing, it offers women the opportunity to earn money from the comfort of their home and at the same time, fulfilling the responsibilities that they’ve committed themselves to.
The trick to running a successful business is to identify your talents and capitalize on them. Soon enough, after careful preparation, you’d be able to monetize your ideas into a sustainable home-based or virtual business.
Without further ado, let’s delve into our top picks for home-based halal business ideas!
Are you the friend that everyone goes to on Eid day? Perhaps your dinner parties are always a hit, and people come running when they smell your dishes and baked goods? Then it is time to bank on your culinary prowess with a halal in-home takeout business.
Takeout services are very popular, and with most Muslims preferring the nutritious halal-cooked food over takeout restaurants (who use questionable ingredients), it will be a definite hit. Even though getting takeout is convenient, there will always be a gap in the market for food delivery services that are as good (and equally hearty) as a home-cooked meal.
Start by offering a few meals, then create a menu or scheduled timetable for placing orders. Once that’s sorted, start advertising within your social circle, and ask a friend to share your business and leave a review.
Note: Depending on where you live, you might require a permit or a license to operate legally.
If you’re a lover of knowledge, and enjoy imparting it, then you may consider tutoring or becoming an online educator – all without leaving your home!
If you are a specialist in a specific field, and have a knack for teaching, you should hone in on your skillset and teach. You could tutor subjects such as Calculus, History, or delve into English Literature.
If you’re excellent in Arabic, you can advertise services and teach it as an additional language. Additionally, teaching English as a foreign language is also a highly sought-after occupation, but before working with any online company, do thorough research beforehand.
Most online tutoring is conducted over video-based platforms such as Google Hangouts , Skype , Zoom , or WizIQ . Alternatively, you can utilize tutoring sites such as TutorMe , Tutor.com , Skooli , Edmentum – and these companies will handle the payments on your behalf.
