Virtual Assistant
With the rise of digital work needs, there is a HUGE demand out there for quality virtual assistants. If you are organized, can manage your time well, and have the desire to be successful while working a flexible schedule, this is the perfect career field for you.
The opportunities are endless when it comes to being a virtual assistant. A virtual assistant spends time writing, sorting email, performing data entry, making graphics, preparing memes, running social media pages, and so much more.
The pay will depend significantly on your background and experience, along with how much time and effort you are able to put into the work. There are several ways you can start working as a VA, but it may involve some sourcing on your part. Once you get some clients, it’s easy to make around $1000 a month working from home. The nice thing is, you can always work more hours and earn even more.
Proofreading
Are you the person who reads everyone’s Facebook posts and cringe because of their poor grammar and spelling? Guess what! You can get paid to proofread other writer’s work.
It will feel so rewarding at the end of the day, knowing you were able to put those grammar skills to good use while also truly helping someone while doing what you enjoy. One excellent way to start proofreading is to sign up with the company Proofread Anywhere, which will provide courses, resources and employment opportunities to help you start reaping the benefits of working from home.
Starting out, you should be able to make up to $1000 a month. As you gain clients and confidence, that number can grow. Experience helps so much when it comes to getting new clients, and the longer you do it, the more experience you will have.

You will be amazed by how many things you can write about on a blog. Whether you love baking, cooking, crafting, organizing, reading, or something completely unique, you can write about it and earn an income with a blog.
There are several classes you can take to learn how to start a blog on your own, and make sure it’s set up to be profitable. A few of my favorite courses are Elite Blog Academy, Traffic Transformation, and Pinteresting Strategies. There are so many great people to learn from. In fact, I wrote a post all about how to start a profitable blog the right way from the very beginning.
Use your imagination and creativity, and you will be well on your way to making great extra money blogging in no time. You don’t have to spend a bunch of money up front to start either! In fact, you can start a blog for less than $100!

Several companies offer this line of work like VIPKID, Education First, and Qkids. Each has its own online system to begin work with, so make sure to review each of them to find the right fit. Read more about each one and how to earn $20 an hour by teaching English here.
Pinterest VA
If you find yourself staring at Pinterest for hours on end each day, you might as well be getting paid to do it! As bloggers become more popular, and companies increasingly rely on digital marketing, Pinterest expertise is a massive need. Companies and entrepreneurs both have a huge need for individuals to commit time to work on Pinterest for them. Some of the work includes scheduling pins, organizing boards, pinning relevant content, making new pin graphics and more.
You can make several hundred dollars starting out as a Pinterest VA really quickly. You just need to be able to follow directions from the client that hired you, and you will be able to bring some extra cash.

You just need the desire to succeed, common knowledge about bookkeeping, and excellent organizational skills. You will also need to invest in bookkeeping software such as Quicken. Once you get some clients and some practice, it will be easier to add even more clients to your workload.

There are several options when it comes to doing transcription work at home. Medical, general information and legal are all professions that are looking for people like you to transcribe for them.
On average, you will start out making around $15 an hour, and that can increase as you get faster and gather more experience. You will need to be good with typing and grammar and have an excellent ear. With a little training, you can be making money from home in no time.
Selling On Amazon
Think about how much time you spend buying items on Amazon—if you are anything like me, it’s a lot! There is a reason why so many people do their shopping there: it’s easy and convenient.
There are several ways to do this, but the most common method will place you in charge of picking out items to sell and allowing Amazon to house the inventory until someone buys it (this is what’s called Amazon FBA, and my friend Jessica is a pro at it). Then they ship it, and you get paid. Finding things to sell can be as easy as hitting up local sales and buying items in bulk for super cheap then selling it on Amazon for a profit. It may be a little challenging at first trying to come up with ideas of what to sell, but once you try out a few ideas, you will be making money soon.
Write An Ebook
You can write an Ebook about a wide variety of subjects. You can become a published author with subjects ranging from cooking to saving money to knitting, or anything in between. There are several courses to take that will show you exactly how to write an Ebook and also teach you how to make sales.
Once the money starts coming in, you may want to write another! Use your imagination, and you will be able to make up to $1,000 a month working from home.
Freelance Writing
Speaking of writing opportunities, freelance writing is another great way to make some income. Do you have a story to tell? Do you love to write about things like cooking or crafting? There are plenty of business owners and bloggers that need people like you to write for them.
Most people start out making anywhere from $12-20 an hour freelance writing. The better you get at it, and the more knowledge and experience you have, the more people are going to want to hire you. You can really make this business your own! Just plan to work hard and be organized.
Freelancer
There are several other freelance opportunities that do not involve writing. These opportunities are geared more towards people who love to do graphic design, programming, photography, videography, web design, and other creative work.
Upwork and Fiverr are some great places to get started. There are all sorts of people looking for work. It will take some time to build up a client list, but once you do, you can be making a killing while working from home.
Online Store
Do you make items that people will love and want to buy? Maybe you make farmhouse decor or baby clothes, or something completely unique. Either way, you can make a considerable profit with an online store. The possibilities are seriously endless when it comes to what you can sell. Let’s face it, most of us love to shop online, so this need isn’t going away anytime soon. Take a class like Ecommerce and Prosper to learn even more about how to make money from home.
Sell On eBay
Go through your house and sell the items you no longer use on eBay. It’s surprising how many things you can come up with to sell once you start looking hard enough.
Hit up local consignment stores and yard sales to find additional items. Follow your local buy, sell, trade groups on Facebook. You can obtain all sorts of things for free or practically nothing. Then turn around and sell them on eBay for profit.
Website Tester
All you have to do is watch a 20-minute video, follow some instructions, and tell them what you thought of the experience. You can get paid directly into your Paypal account! Check out User Testing to find out how to get started. It’s simple, flexible and a lot of it can be rather fun, too!
