How I make money online as a single, homeschool mother

- In this video I talk about the subtle things people don't tell you about increasing your income. Like the stuff you actually need to hear. People ask WHAT to do to make money, but to me, the 'what' is the easy part. You could literally do anything. The specific HOW is much more nuanced! *Apologies for some redundancies in the video, since I promised to get out a video in 2 days, I was rushing when I edited it. I hope it still overall was a good video. I also wanted to give you this snapshot, even though 2023 isn't over, so you can understand where I am in the home buying process as a self employed person with variable income. I'm still working on that. Good luck in your journey. I would recommend checking out the Small Business Administration's website, because they tell you what exactly to do to build a business. Start with the "Business Guide" and really go through the "10 Steps to Start Your Business" then the "Plan Your Business".

Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future. Making money is not the same as keeping it there is a reason why investments aren't well taught in schools, the examples you gave are well stationed, the market crisis gave me my first millions, people shy away from hard times, I embrace them.. well at least my advisor does lol.
Investors should be cautious about their exposure and be wary of new buys, especially during inflation. Such high yields in this recession is only possible under the supervision of a professional or trusted advisor.
Not at all, having monitor edge my portfolio performance which has made a jaw dropping $473k from just the past two quarters alone, I have learned why experienced traders make enormous returns from the seemingly unknown market. I must say it's the boldest decision I've taken since recently.
@@hasede-lg9hj Please pardon me, who guides you on the process of it all?
The adviser I'm in touch with is Vivian Carol Gioia. You can use something else, for me her strategy works hence my result. she provides entry and exit point for the securities I focus on.
Thanks for clearing that up, I curiously searched for Vivian Carol Gioia on the internet and thankfully, I came across her my goal is to retire in 5years time.
As a black single mother of two young adult children, who are doing excellent, I am soooo proud of you! Just discovered your channel and it’s so encouraging and heartwarming. Keep going girl! Blessings to you and your girls. ❤
We ain't African NOR black, we be Copper ColoRED Indigenous American Indian!!!!!! I plead with you to reasearch, speak with relatives... especially grma n pa

@donnab3183 I came here to say exactly this. So so proud of her.
Hun start a mentorship where we can chat about this. I’ll join!!
Love this. Putting kids in school for a few months to get that uninterrupted time to build the business. Love that!!
You're very intelligent Akeeba. As a retired elementary public school teacher, some are smart, acheivers or intelligent. But knowing what to say and do at the appropriate time is intelligence and the above, I feel, is intelligence.
Wow… this gives me hope as a newly divorced mom of 4. I too am homeschooling and I just have to challenge myself and create multi streams of income. I have enjoyed being a SAHM but being single now it’s like okay… I gotta put my big girl pants on and use my brain to be the breadwinner now too. This short and sweet practical advice thank you ❤🙏🏾
Be encouraged you are not alone you'll triumph over the dumb a** of an ex, baby daddy or frienmy you'll prove them all wrong. Your in G_d and your success in the best victory ever.
Building wealth as a family in a cooperative manner is key. That's how Black Wallstreet, Rosewood, and other successful communities were built.
Successful until the gvt raided them.🤬 and I barely found out recently about these comunities
I loved your point that you started doing marketing when you _didn't want to do marketing,_ and it wasn't at all what you were passionate about, but that it was a _character_ thing to do it anyway, because it would benefit you and your kids. That's such an important point. This is about our KIDS, and about financial freedom -- if you're not willing to do _whatever_ it takes (within legality) to make that happen, you won't get far.
Thank you for your transparency and wisdom. Homeschooling looks different for everyone. It’s great to see another black Mum showing homeschoolers can also run a business.
I just started my own business doing Medicare insurance from home while homeschooling my kids. Whatever I make, the residual is 50% for next year so it keeps building. It’s super hard work but I’m building it slowly. 🎉
I'm currently in school for medical billing and insurance coding (1 semester left). If you don't mind me asking how did you start working from home. That's my goal also I just don't know where to start.
Interesting
@@shaquitamuse25 I previously worked in insurance (other lines, like home/auto) & started working for a life insurance broker at home. It was just natural when life started drying up to move to Medicare & use my health license. You need to contract with an FMO (field marketing organization), because carriers won’t appoint you when you’re small, and the FMO helps you get started & help you set up certain things. You need to be licensed, I recommend health & life license. Then find an FMO. Get insurance & an LLC (I used Northwest for $130 state fees were $100 of that), set up a website (GoDaddy has 1st year $35) & then get leads to write. Leads can be free if you do educational events or community events. (Leads are people interested in buying insurance). If you don’t have a physical location, you can do it over phone or meet them at a coffee shop if local. 😊
@@shaquitamuse25 But with insurance, school is helpful but the real learning happens as you work. I’d recommend getting paid to work by working at a local agency first, at least a year or so. It took me nearly 20 years of working for others before stepping out on my own (it won’t take you that long at all I promise!) 😌 Because I was a nervous Nelly.
I do Medicare sales as well. I'm not independent though. How do you do it? Do you hsve other income sources, while building medicare business?😊
I am homeschooling my two children and it was the best decision I could have ever made. My kids are thriving, they are happy and are not socially awkward (despite many misconceptions in regards to homeschool)
I work from home many days, but I also have a couple ither gig based jobs that require me to work on location, but I am 100% in control of my schedule, my time, my income and that is all I can really ask for being a single mother
I attribute the social awkwardness to them just simply more mature and seasoned and a bit "above" more children kept more immature.
My children are adults now but I wonder if there is a home school community. There should be one where parents who home school can maybe once a week meet up for a field trip (learn/social) so the children get a chance to have the best of both worlds. Then maybe do a monthly whole day event. If that doesn't exist maybe someone can pioneer it.
What kind of work do you do?
Thank you for taking the time to do this. I appreciate your content.
Thank you for being so candid about your journey. It was really a learning experience for me. May God continue to bless you and your family
Your hair is amazing!! 💜
Thank you for sharing. I homeschooled during the pandemic, back in school to finish my teaching degree, and have a UA-cam page (4Sera) that is temporarily paused. I enjoyed watching you assist in homeschooling your sister’a children. Congratulations!!! Be encouraged😊
You rock Momma! I can feel that you are a wonderful human being, and I enjoyed this video. This is inspiring for us single mommas out here. I love your hair btw.
This is truly inspiring! As a fellow single homeschool mom and former teacher turned work-from-home enthusiast, I completely understand the journey. I'm currently working on monetizing my own UA-cam channel this year. It's a challenging path, but when we stay true to our purpose, success is within reach. Thanks for sharing your story; it's incredibly motivating!
I'm so inspired ❤please keep the videos coming! I'm learning so much!
I love the truth you just told. No one does it alone. Having a support system makes a difference. Brilliant and beautiful. You, your sister and your niece are amazing content creators and inspire the community that have the similar backgrounds.
I have followed your sister for several years now and I enjoy her channel. I discovered your channel obviously by way of the algorithm😂. I guess the algorithm figured out that I watch your sister, so I might want to watch your channel too. I am so glad I clicked and subscribed. You give great advice on homeschooling . I homeschool one of my children after teaching. I want to homeschool my other child but she is thriving at her school and she’s of course, supplemented by her father and I.
Me too I was watching Mazalee and was introduced to this intelligent speaking sister I feel blessed 🎉😊
I found your video at just the right time. I have the same beliefs with school and I’m in Maryland. Contemplating allowing my child to attend preschool for a few months. Ready to ditch my current field for my dream field and I told myself I needed to find cheaper housing that met our needs so that I could work less hours… this video was so amazing and encouraging! Thank you for sharing your experience and telling your story with realistic expectations.
Really inspiring ❤ I can’t wait to start. It’s like you were sent to me today. I really need this. Just subscribed can’t wait to learn more on everything.
Alena is your sister omgggggggg!!! Her channel is HUGE. Happy for the both of you 🎉
Love ur hair. And happy for ur success.
Thank you for sharing this. I’m from the same place but moving abroad to get things situated for me and be able to give my kids an overall better life. I love how you shared your process. It’s encouraging.
You’re inspiring and offered great advice. Thank you, God bless you and your family ❤
I absolutely loved this video! As a public school teacher I have been following your story and I am so motivated to homeschool my own kids as well... I am working on my businesses and it is definitely a challenge however no matter the sacrifice I am willing to do that to have the ability to homeschool my kids full time in the long run... Thanks for sharing and God Bless you!!🎉❤
I am also a stay-at-home mom at the moment and I understand how overwhelming it can be at times. I currently have my 4-year-old in pre-k and my 20-month-old stays with me for now. So I get putting the kids in school for a few months to get uninterrupted time is great and healthy for you likewise. I would love to see a video on how to do affiliate marketing. Great video.
Thank you so much for sharing this valuable information and being transparent! Single mom to single mom, also living in MD, who identifies with a few of your morals and goals for my kids, and who is on my own financial journey (and helping other single parents understand finances and gain their own peace along the way) I’m encouraged to keep going from just watching this video. Please keep this content coming! ❤
PREACH!! So much logic and truth. I see so many people comment on successful folks saying they only have what they have solely because it was handed to them or because of privileges. It’s really sad to see because privilege is real, but it’s not an excuse to be self-defeating. Too many people convince themselves that they can’t improve their lives. Your story is such a light and I hope it inspires people to take some responsibility and go for their dreams. You are really inspiring.
Yess more vids like this pls. Our ppl need to hear this kind of content!!!
Your uncle was very wise. As parents we need to make decisions that serve the greater good! I remember making those decisions while my kids were in school.
Thank you so much for your transparency! Really blessed by it all. May God continue to bless you with divine wisdom and all the other attributes. Shalom and blessings ❤❤❤❤❤
You are so inspiring...thank you for your transparency!
Thank you for sharing this I needed to hear this for real
Great Job Akeeba! As a youttuber myself I still have a lot to learn, but it was good listening to your journey.
I needed this video😭😭 it just motivated me to finish my coursework
Thank you for this advice! ❤
This video brought me to tears. I admire your transparency and taking the time to "check people's mindset" (I doubt that's grammatically correct, but I hope that you understand what I'm saying). I wish you continued success and thanks for taking the time to share practical points about your journey that can actually help others!
Thank you! I've been going back in forth in my mind about sending my girls to school for a few months just so I have time to get things situated. I've cried about this so many times feeling like a failure. This video helped!
Thanks for sharing your story Akeeba❤
Thanks for sharing! Working on my self employment journey as well . Inspiring!
Excellent advice. Thank you.
You're very inspirational. Thanks for breaking down how you got to where you are. God bless you, and hoping you have continued success.
As always, thanks for the info and cheers to gettin’ rich! Go ahead, Akeeba! 😂❤
Thank you so much for encouraging up to keep plugging at our goals in order to achieve our dreams!
Appreciate these powerful tips.
Love your sense of humor
Love the discussion. You are so inspiring and I'm hoping that millions of young families watch this vlog. I'm retired. From early in the game I held good paying jobs and for most of my working life I had what would be considered "well" paying jobs. Nonetheless I found it necessary to do get a second source of income in my early years in order to acquire a home very early. I toiled away at manufacturing uniforms, drapery and linen and that provided financial advantage to buy a nice townhouse in an upscale area. That was the start because I was able to flip that property, and kept flipping until I was able to provide the best education and lifestyle for my daughter. And "best" didn't mean overly lavish or excessive. My point is that I really couldn't rely on a single job to get ahead. By the time I was 36, I was back to a single job, but at that point it was a high paying, high demanding executive job and I couldn't have handled side jobs. The additional income in my early years did pay off well.
Awesome Awesome video. Thank you so much for sharing these well needed tips. I look forward to your future videos ☺️
Thank you for sharing! This is inspiring!
Thank you so much for sharing, God bless you and make you prosper even more ❤
Thanks for this video and inspiration
Thank you for this post. Very inspirational.
Wishing you the best in your endeavors
Love you, thank you for helping me woth this on all areas.
Thank you for this breakdown! I do have a lot of social equity and this is inspirational to me to take a business risk for the future!❤
One of your best video ever.❤
You're brilliant. Great video.
By the way absolutely LOVE your hair!🥰💞💯
Great video! Love the line social capital 🔥
You are so inspiring. I really needed to hear this.
❤hope it helped
Thank you so much, You really inspired me, I am so proud of you
I pray that you’ll continue, this such
An I formative video, so necessary
Thank you❤❤❤❤
I wish more people watched your videos. Great video
Hats off to you! I have total respect for single mothers. I’m glad to hear you and your children are doing well. This is also motivating for as a homemaker, because I try to do odd jobs.
Hi! I’m a highschool student current a sophomore in high school. I enjoy watching this video a lot! I’m planning on doing college classes starting next year as I’m in highschool to earn credits. As a finish, my goal is to head to college right after school and work in a career. I love your business plan because you’re not only teaching but you’re doing many other things you enjoy, and also they give you a lot of income. I always thought about as I am growing up how I want a career, but have one where I can still do things I enjoy aswell as be flexible in what I do so I can spend time with my future family. I don’t want to end up having to work long hours just to make enough money. I’m grateful you made this video, this gives me hope about my future
Happy Sunday Akeeba and girls thanks for sharing very great tips and info
You are so welcome! Happy Sunday to you!
This was very inspiring. Thank you
I love what you’ve doing. I am a big believer of homeschooling. I taught at a homeschool co-op for 7 years
This is great. I just wish you went into more detail about the ins and outs of what you do or the steps you took or will take to build from here. (How they are different or the same)
You managing your sister helped her as well as you because you had a built in mentor.
Mentorship is very important to help you fast track your way to success. So proud of you both. Keep striving! Thank you for sharing your progress and success. So inspiring!💯💞🥰
I appreciate this information. ❤
🎉❤And you are just as amazing as your sister!/You two are wonderful with your children!🎉❤🎉❤
You are so inspiring! ❤
Loving on you and this channel I’m a big fan of MazeLee I am wishing you the best as a fellow single mommy❤
Thank you for your videos! I love your channel! I've been praying so hard to find something that I can do to earn money and have enough time to homeschool my son. I work from home now in a remote position so it's the same as if I would be in an office. I feel like my son is still being neglected because I want to homeschool him but I need to focus on my job as well and it breaks my heart that I have to constantly tell him to wait, hold on, I have to work. I have so many ideas of what I want to do but my problems are that I'm scared to quit and I don't have enough confidence to actually follow through with something.
Much respect to your sis!!!!!!
definitely!
This definitely motivating! Thank you
Who awesome you Rock Akeba this is a real straight forward, easy to understand and somehow motivated me to get back on my game!! You are so inspiring..I love your sister and I know you miss them..and listening to you I know this was a hard decision but it’s in the plan and I know hopefully you will all be together back in California as a homeowner like your sister after you reach all your goals! I will keep supporting your channel ❤🇯🇲😘
Funny thing is when you were talking about putting your kids in school for a couple months so you could have more time to focus I definitely made that exact decision Friday, called the school board earlier today and they said (in a nutshell) I wouldn’t be able to. (My daughter is 3 and she’s extremely intelligent, they only let 3 yr olds in preschool here if there’s a learning delay/disability).
You're amazing! 🎉
Guess what😃! My like made 1000th like ❤!!! So so cool!!! Thank you for this valuable perspective!
My version of financial peace is my parents now live with me and are able to cover the major bills for me while I figure out my next steps. I'm going to start selling handmade dumplings. I plan on creating a free ebook with dumpling recipes to get leads online and build our presence while still building a customer base in person.
Always happy to hear your tips especially about education and learning tools for children. Thanks for sharing how to get ahead in life. *Hug* 💜💜
You're welcome!
No up
I have faith in you and I have faith in myself! I will be using your links ❤thank you
Your next step to consider is once this wealth is created, is how do you keep it. . .
1. Sustainable.
2. Protected.
3. Available for the next generation. I've done that too. If you need more information, let me know.
Something tells me that she s just fine honey.😊
Phew! There really is a lot to consider. I feel like I need to do those things in order.
People don't think about protecting assets for future generations. We lose a lot because we don't plan deeply enough, and every generation we basically start from scratch. We must think better about this topic.
@@JoyceMooreUrbanPatchI will like to know more please
@@Vee-yc5ht About what. I talked about a lot. 🙂 What we did to get our sons through school without debt, how we helped them build A-1 credit while in school, or estate planning and asset protection?
Awesome job!
So proud to see a single black mother so powerful. Yes many blessings to you and your family. Your so great at speaking. Love the content
You are simply a star
Congrats on living life on your terms! Fellow Howard County MD resident too, love this area but housing on the expensive side like you mentioned which I'm happy to pay-- safety + good schools are paramount for me. I'm curious to know where you found a 2br for $1300 😉
You are inspiring as many have typed.
I’m a homeschool mom who was in the arts industry for many years until the pandemic & then I was shifted into other roles. I am in the same type of realm, with being good at the backend of the arts industry now. I have been looking into the management process as well. Can you do a video on affiliated marketing, as I am still trying to grasp this realm. Thank you. I super appreciate your story & journey! I just would rather work a lot from home, in order to raise & educate my own crew. While helping people in the industry too.
Same! All these things feel so abstract and intangible to me. No one explains it without trying to get you to buy their course.
So helpful!!❤
You speak to me in this vlog and thanks.
Thank you for sharing
1) thank you for your transparency! You’re doing exactly what I’m striving to do so will be subscribing (I’m a single momtrepreneur planning to homeschool) (literally just found you, the first video I saw was the house tour and this is the 2nd video. So I’m super newbie). 2) thank you for letting me set realistic goals for Amazon affiliate 😂🤣 3) thank you for showing where I really do need to focus energy on. 4) ok, let me finish watching 🤣🤣I’m only like 30 sec in hahaha
You’re welcome! All of my Amazon affiliate money comes from one video that I made which has over a million hits over 4 years. I really should paste that link in every video I make, it could probably double my revenue there. Again, that’s something I’ll be working on this upcoming year!
In comparison to the money I made as an affiliate on Amazon, Amazon made $80,000 by my recommendations! Looking at that really tells me I need to be selling these educational products!
thank you ,very inspiring
Please consider the background when using captions dear. Your white captions are blending with your white sweater. Thanks for sharing with this Maryland girl.❤
Yes! Black captions. ❤
You are outstanding and beautiful! So refreshing to see successful black women!!!!
This is THE MOST helpful video I’ve seen on practically breaking down how to earn money….ANOTHER QU: What resources/books were key to your success?
Wonderful story
Thank you ❤
