5 Recommended Side Hustles for Nurse Moms on Maternity Leave

1 | Medical/Nursing Writer (Remote, great for those who like writing)

This is a job where you write articles for medical media using your nursing knowledge.
I started on CrowdWorks, but gradually, I've had more opportunities to get direct contracts without going through CrowdWorks.
Since no agency fee is deducted, the amount I receive is higher with direct contracts.
When you first start, it's safer to go through an agency, but you naturally end up with direct contracts with people you can trust(^^)

It's okay if you're not good at writing at first.
As you receive feedback, you will grow as a writer.
For those who don't mind writing, this is a highly recommended side hustle.

2 | Online Instructor/Consultant (Recommended for those with experience in training new staff)

Perfect for those who are "good at training new staff" or "want to offer advice to nursing students."
You can provide one-on-one guidance via Zoom or sell your services on platforms like Coconala.

The standard approach is to start at a low price and raise it as you gain reviews and trust.
Content targeting nursing students is especially popular lately.
If you are good at creating related diagrams or nursing plans, there is a lot of demand in this field!!

⸻

3 | Rakuten Affiliate (Also great for beginners)

A system where you earn rewards just by introducing childcare goods or nursing goods you've used and liked on your blog or social media.

The biggest appeal is that it becomes a side hustle as an "extension of your daily life."

It's hard to earn large amounts, but it's enough to aim for 10,000 to 30,000 yen per month.
I introduced baby carriers and baby food I used for childcare, and quite a few people bought them☺️
⸻

4 | One-off Nursing Part-time Jobs (Health checkups, etc.)

Honestly, going out to work as a part-timer rather than doing remote work is the quickest way🤣
However, you need to be careful about workplace rules.
If it's a spot job like a health checkup or vaccination, you can work when you want, and it offers a lot of freedom.

And above all, the hourly wage is high!!!

Some one-off jobs pay 2,500 to 3,000 yen per hour, so if you are allowed to have a side job, I want you to at least look at the job postings.

When looking for jobs, please search on sites specializing in dispatch or one-off part-time work♬

5 | SNS Presence x Monetization (My main focus)

This is what I am putting the most effort into right now.
While sharing the reality of being a nurse and raising children, I introduce specific products or services and earn revenue.

It goes without saying, but you don't need to show your face or use your real name, so even moms can start with peace of mind♡

This is my main source of income now, but since revenue is generated even while I'm sleeping, I'm earning quite easily.
When you're raising children while working as a nurse, you really have no time or energy to spare.
That's why I can't keep going unless I use my current method😇

I've tried various side hustles, but I've found that involving social media is the easiest way to earn money.

Everything about how I earn 300,000 yen a month is written in this article↓

By reading this article, you will understand how nurses can earn money through side hustles, and how to earn 50,000 yen a month from a side hustle in the shortest time possible!!!!🔥

Frequently Asked Questions about Side Hustles for Nurse Moms

FAQ 1 | Is it okay to do a side hustle during maternity leave?

→ Basically, it's okay!
However, there are conditions for whether or not you can receive childcare leave benefits.

✅ If you work 10 days or less or 80 hours or less per month, you are eligible for childcare benefits
✅ If you exceed that, there is a possibility of suspension or reduction of payments
✅ But, "non-labor income" such as affiliate marketing or social media revenue is highly likely not to count as employment!

In other words, unless it's a case of "being hired by someone and getting paid," your benefits won't be reduced.
Among these, if you work too hard at one-off part-time jobs, it will be subject to reduction💦
If you are worried, please check with Hello Work or your workplace!

I had side hustle income starting from my maternity leave, but since it was income generated from remote work, I received my maternity leave allowance as is!!

FAQ 2 | Do I need to file a tax return if I do a side hustle?

→ It is necessary if it exceeds 200,000 yen per year!

If your side hustle is affiliate marketing, writer income, lecturer fees, etc., it is classified as "miscellaneous income" or "business income."

✅ No tax return required for side income of 200,000 yen or less per year (*conditions apply)
✅ You can easily file a tax return online using e-Tax, etc.
✅ It can also save taxes if you classify it as "business income" where necessary expenses can be deducted◎

It's confusing at first, but it's surprisingly easy once you try it.
You don't have to think "taxes = scary," but rather "taxes = it's fine if you follow the proper procedures."

Just because I filed a tax return, I have never been told by my workplace, "You're doing a side hustle, aren't you!?"!!

Even if I were told, I've decided to say that I'm just earning a little pocket money with remote work like CrowdWorks! (lol).
