Payout starts from $1 and goes up depending on the quality. The trick is to sell your photos on multiple platforms – wider your reach, more your profits

Here are a number of sites that will pay for your stock photos:

• Shutterstock
• iStockphoto
• Alamy

Affiliate marketing is a way to earn passive income and could be one of the most passive jobs for pregnant women. It is simply referral marketing – when people use your link to buy a product or service you have recommended, you get paid a small amount of commission at no extra cost to the buyers.

There are many affiliate programs, like Amazon, who do not require you to have a blog. You can use social media channels instead.

That said, you will need to follow disclosures and related regulations properly. You can learn all about it here.
