So I currently have an income generating website and toying with the idea of starting another to have another potential income source. Since I'll be a single mom starting next week I figured this may be a good niche for me to try and develop some content for.

If you're a single parent, what types of things would you search for on Google/Pinterest...or what types of things do you like to see content for? Things like:
Activities
Recipes/Things to make with kids
Decorating
Alone time activities (when children are with other parent)
Grocery shopping/budgeting food costs

Just trying to get some ideas for what content I can make to help.

I know for me I've been searching for:
Small space decorating, themed rooms for girls like "unicorn bedroom"
Easy make ahead breakfasts and lunches
Cheap/free kid activities
At home pre-school ideas

Books and book series for young kids.

Summer entertainment ideas for kids.

Cooking ideas to do with kids.

Toy organization.

Healthy snack and lunch ideas.

I'm not a single parent but throwing some ideas out there that I think any parent would be interested in.

Good luck with your website!!!

Not a single parent but have always worked at least full time, when my kids were home during the summer they each were responsible for dinner each week.
I didn't care what it was as long as they could do it on their own. I'm talking kids 9 and up. So easy recipes for this was always something I sought out.

Most single parents don't have a lot of time for Pinterest. That's for housewives.

If you're a single parent, what types of things would you search for on Google/Pinterest...or what types of things do you like to see content for?


I have been a single mom for over 11 years. I search for a lot on the internet. I used Pinterest to find paint colors, decorating design and bedding. From Pinterest I was able to make my son's room look like it came out of Minecraft. the boards I have are; instant pot recipes, pain relief, exercise, bread making, calendar, closet, home builds, organizing, furniture DIY, gift ideas, marriage, clothes, bath bombs, food storage, crafts, COFFEE!!!!, wreaths, freezer meals, seasoning, for the home ideas, Christmas ideas, cleaning, lids, things to learn, elf on a shelf ideas, home decor, garden, how to do girl hairstyles, moving, floors, sewing, maintenance, single mom, gluten free recipes, beauty ideas, quotes, ideas for my room, job hunting, house hunting, valentine's day, birthday, scrapbooking, crockpot meals and party idea.

I have used youtube for the following:
to help me replace parts on my lawnmower, do any oil change, and fix the carburetor.
taking a pull string closet light and rewiring to be light switch activated
how to take front loading washer apart to get the rings clean... I don't recommend it because it's not for the faint of heart.
I learned how to rip up carpet and install laminate wood floors all by myself

There are a couple of websites/ blogs that I used their guidance and instructions on how to build mudroom storage "closet" and also a table that is perfect behind a couch.

I finally feel down the rabbit hole of Tik Tok where I get exercise ideas and motivation, meal ideas, ideas on how to relieve pain, how to improve my health,

I use the internet to figure out what is wrong and how to fix it. then I research finding the best pricing for what I need
