The Top 4 Part-Time Jobs for Moms

The Top 4 Part-Time Jobs for Moms If being a full time Mom isn’t enough for you, you’re not alone. Just Google â€Å"being Mom isn’t enough for me† and you’ll land on page after page of Mommy Blogs capturing that very message. It’s not enough for most of us. And that’s O.K. While there’s enough work for Mom’s to go around, it’s simply not fulfilling enough for many, which has many Mom’s looking for something else.Having a side gig that’s separate from your regular Mom life is the perfect antidote. Part time work can be fun, social, and a way for you to have your own identity (again).If you’re looking to itch the scratch and go earn some cash - we’ve got you covered! We rounded up the best part time jobs for Mom’s lined up:1. Direct SalesEvery time I look, one of my Mom friends has launched a Direct Sales business. There are so many direct sales companies and they were made for Moms, by Moms. From Tupperware to Pa rtyLite to Mary Kay to Stella and Dot; there’s truly something for everybody. This is one of the best part time jobs for moms because you â€Å"own your own business† so you learn about sales, marketing, and accounting. You also present to groups of women in their homes which means your public speaking and presentation skills will sharpen. It’s entrepreneurial and rewarding. You’re in charge of your success, your commitment, and best of all - you’re on your time. Want to learn more? Click on the following link for a list of direct sales companies.2. Temp AgencyStaffing agencies are an excellent part time jobs for Moms. If you’re not familiar, a staffing agency hires temporary workers and then dispatches those workers to various job sites and companies in the local area on an as need basis. As a worker, you’d be employed by the agency and then loaned out to their customers. Depending on what your current skills are, you’d be pl aced within an area of interest and ability to you. Agencies are fantastic for Mom’s because they provide flexible hours, diverse work tasks, and new (and exciting) work environments. The best part about staffing agencies is that the mixture of work, environments, and tasks equates to increased skills, networking, and overall exposure which looks great on the resume.3. Volunteer WorkIf your desire to return to work isn’t about the Benjamin’s, then volunteering is an option for you. Being able to give back to your community, help others, and do something that is beyond â€Å"self† breeds gratitude, mindfulness, and happiness.   Aside from all the happiness you’d be feeling, it’s a wonderful example to teach your children about community responsibility. Volunteering is a great option for Moms because again, you can set your own hours and choose your level of commitment. As Mom’s we have a limited bandwidth so it’s crucial to id entify exactly how much time is enough to be away from your family. If you can find a volunteer opportunity that links back to your family like sports, community, or arts then all the better.4. Passion ProjectIf there’s something that’s been inkling away at you, there’s no better time than the present. Having a side project that happens to be your passion project ignites your creativity, determination, and passion – and your kids will reap the benefits of an energized Mama. Passion projects could be writing on the side, painting, cooking, starting a business, or ____! Anything. Think of it this way, what would you do for free? Do that.To be a better Mom we all need to take care of ourselves first and sometimes that requires looking into part time jon. In my opinion it means treating yourself like an individual, not just Mom.Note: This article was originally published on TopResume.TopResume is a Talent Inc. company, the personal branding destination for al l career-driven professionals.

The Content Creator That You’ve Always Wanted Is Here - CoSchedule

The Content Creator That You’ve Always Wanted Is Here Back in March I started making calls. Tons of them. The recipient? You. Since this past April, I’ve talked to more than 100 different customers or potential customers that were trying our product for the first time. I learned a few things. There are a lot of marketing projects, and teams, that need organizing. There are even more spreadsheets that still need eliminating. There was a lot more that we could do here at to make your life way easier. Like waaaaaaay easier.   So, we began what has became known as the â€Å"Content UX† project here inside of , which was short for â€Å"content user experience.† It was a cumulation of everything that I learned on those calls. The goal was to make the experience of editing and managing content inside of easier and even more team-oriented. In short, we want to eliminate your spreadsheets and clumsy workarounds. The Content UX project was born, and we  made our first code changes in July. Today you finally get to use version 1.0. We’re pumped! Here are three big changes that roll out today, plus a few amazing new features that are up next. For a detailed look at every change launching today, please see this post. Here, I will be covering the bigger goals behind the features. Change #1: We Hid The Things You Didn’t Need One of the problems we wanted to address was the â€Å"clutter† that had taken place in the content creator.  As we’ve added new features, we’ve been forced to augment our existing design which wasn’t built to handle all of that power.   We’ve made it work, but it’s was ultimately time for something better. is powerful, but that doesn’t mean it needs to look complicated. #ui #redesignWith this redesign we wanted to accomplish a couple things: Hide things that you didn’t need. A few examples of this include making the headline analyzer an optional integration, along with the social queue itself (which has been renamed to Social Campaigns). Utilize the entire screen. Our new â€Å"full-screen† editing experience on the calendar gives you the space you need to do your best work. I think the results speak for themselves. The interface is cleaner, more user-friendly, and better organized around keeping your entire marketing process right on track. Change #2: We Made Even More Team Friendly Teamwork is important. To make it easier for teams to work together, we’ve added an all-new sidebar to manage all of your project activity. Tasks, comments, and team contributors are now managed in separate tabs rather than our long long-running lists.  This redesign will prevent the excessive scrolling that sometime came with larger projects. Additionally, we’ve introduced some major updates to our task management features such as the addition of unscheduled tasks, drag and drop task sorting, and an all-new â€Å"files† tab which will be launching soon. The new activity sidebar also does a better job of reporting new activity and clearing out older comments and data that are no longer as relevant. Some of our users have reported that on-boarding new team members to can be a challenge. We hope that these changes start making that process much easier. Change #3: Make Content Creation Easier   The content editor in has undergone an extreme makeover. First, we’ve completely replaced the built-in text editor with a brand new version. The new editor supports more formatting and is far more reliable than our previous solution. Creating content inside of should now be a seamless experience. Second, we added some clarity to the editor selection process, which we learned was a regular source of confusion. Now, when you create a new piece of content in you will be asked to select a single editing mode. The options include: Our *NEW* built-in text editor Google Docs Evernote WordPress File upload (Microsoft Word, images, etc.) Of course, many of you love to create and edit your content in Microsoft Word, and we’ve even added some great new features just for you. File Version Control Now, when editing our content using a traditional word processor like Microsoft Word, team members can download the file, make changes, and then re-upload the file as a new version. will maintain a history of all previous versions, which can be accessed at any time.  Everyone on the team will see that edits have been made, and will have access to a full file history. It’s the best way to bring a real-time like workflow to those tools that aren’t quite real time! Soon, we’ll also be adding support for converting Word Docs into WordPress Blog posts, so be on the lookout for that update. New to : File Version Control.Change #4, #5, #6, and #7: Coming Soon! We have a lot more in store for our content creator – all based on your suggestions. Here are a few of the things that are up next. Custom Content Types We will be rolling out an update in a few weeks that will allow you to customize the menu you use to add new content to . Fill it up as much or as little as you want. Further down the road we hope to add even more ways to create custom content types as a way to separate your content. Multiple Color Labels This feature will allow you to select multiple color labels for each piece of  content you create. This overhaul will also include the ability to add your own custom labels. Tags! Tags! Tags! Wouldn’t it be great if you could add tags to each piece of content you create for further customization? We think so too. Look for this to ship soon. Marketing Projects This feature will allow you to combine several different pieces of content or social campaigns into a single project. With this update you’ll be able to manage even the most complex of marketing projects from . Look for this one early 2017. And More! Of course, there’s a lot more to come that we aren’t ready to share. Please keep your features requests coming as well. We are always on the look out for the next big thing!
