If you’ve been searching how to make money online for beginners and ended up drowning in complicated advice, techy jargon, or “side hustle” tips that require 18 hours a day and a ring light… breathe, friend.

You’re not alone, and you’re definitely in the right place. Because I’ve been where you are.

Over 20 years ago, I was a mom looking for a way to earn from home. I didn’t have fancy tools, business experience, or any idea where to start. Just a deep desire for freedom and a better life for my family.

Fast forward to today, and I’ve built a peaceful, profitable work-from-home lifestyle that allows me to help other women do the same. And I want to share the exact framework I used, so you can skip the headdesk and start earning online in a way that fits your life and comfort levels.

What You Really Need to Start Making Money Online

Contrary to popular belief... The truth is, you don’t need:

• A massive social following

• Fancy software or expensive tools

• Tons of time or startup cash

You need a simple system. Something that gives you clarity and momentum, without feeling like another full-time job.

That’s exactly what I created with my Remote Beginnings Framework. It’s built for beginner moms, side hustlers, and anyone who’s saying: “There has to be a better way.”

Let me walk you through it 👇🏽

Step 1: Start Where You Are (Not Where You Think You Should Be)

So many women stall at the starting line because they feel like they’re not ready.

Not tech-savvy enough. Not confident enough. Not far enough along.

But here’s the truth I learned the hard way: You don’t need to be ready—you need to be willing.

I started by googling “work from home jobs” during lunch breaks and chasing toddlers. You can start by grabbing a simple free guide, trying one digital tool, or exploring what’s possible.

And yes, that counts as progress.

Step 2: Focus on Simplicity Over Hustle

There are a lot of “make money online” blogs out there, but most assume you’ve got hours to spare and money to burn.

Nope, not doing that! Here at Remote Beginnings, everything I teach is:

• Beginner-friendly

• Affordable or free to start

• Easy to implement in a few hours a week

Because the real problem isn’t lack of options, it’s overwhelm. So my goal is to clear the clutter and give you tips, tools, and resources that help you take action right away.

Step 3: Learn With Real-Life Examples (Not Just Advice)

If you’ve ever read a blog that said “just sell a digital product!” without telling you how, then you know how frustrating that is.

That’s why I use my “teach by showing” method in everything I do. Think:

✅ Before and after examples

✅ Micro-tips you can use instantly

✅ Mini stories from my own or others' journeys

These bite-sized wins build confidence and help you finally feel like this whole online income thing might actually work for you.

Step 4: Use Low-Tech Tools That Give You Big Results

You do not need to learn a bazillion different platforms to make money online. I built my income using free tools like:

• Google (for my remote job search)

• Canva (for digital product design and social content)

• Pinterest (for traffic that grows passively)

• Podia (to run my entire online business)

And I teach other women like you to do the same, with tools and templates that take the pressure off. Remember: tech should make things easier, not harder. If it doesn’t, we don’t use it. Period.

Step 5: Assume You’re Already Capable

This one might feel radical… but it’s a big part of what changed everything for me:

I started writing and building as if success was inevitable.

I stopped saying “if I make this work” and started saying “when it works.”

That mindset shift helped me show up consistently. And when I assumed I was capable? I started making decisions that proved it. So if you’re scared to start because you’re “just a regular mom” or you’ve “failed before,” I see you. But here’s the truth:

You don’t need to do it all. You just need to do the next right thing. And I’ll help you figure out what that is.
