As a veteran homesteader and entrepreneur, I’ve had a lot of unique businesses over the years. Many of which was while I lived on a farm or after I lost everything and was living in the city. Desperate to get out of that place. I needed money and I needed money fast in some cases. I’ll share with you my ongoing list of 100 + ways to make extra money on your homestead, ways that I’ve made money being self-employed for most of my life.
All of them kept food on the table and enough money to pay the bills and let me stay home with my two boys. That to me means everything! Having lost my Son at an early age. Those memories would have been someone else’s, if I had to leave each day for a job. So, over the years I’ve changed and adapted when necessary.
I’ve had more experience with different jobs than most people. I can do a variety of things, and most of them can and will make you money if you put your mind to it.
By being a little bit crazy and think outside the box sometimes, you too, can make money with your homestead and stay at home with your kids (or animals) like I did. You’ll a look at all the things I’ve done over the years to make money being self-employed.
From my beloved cricket farming to working at home blogging and even selling old stuff on eBay.
This is a work in progress as I publish new blog posts in this series, I’ll be adding the link here too so you can find all the goodness in one place.
Good luck in all your ventures!
