all right today we're talking about some at home jobs that you can do these are
work from home type things that are pretty easy to get started with most of
them don't have really big educational requirements and most of them are pretty
easy to get started and most of them actually pay pretty well and this is
something I get asked a lot by different readers and viewers about kind of work
from home stuff that they can do that maybe doesn't have require a lot of
education or anything like that and that's exactly what we're gonna be
looking at in this video but I want you to be thinking a little bigger picture
with all this and thinking about your longer-term earning potential I want you
to ultimately be able to earn more than you are now and kind of grow that build
a career of some sort and a lot of these jobs just aren't going to do that they
might feel fill-a-need now and so if you're in kind of a desperate situation
they might give you some you know short term answers to kind of give you some
more cash but I want you to be thinking bigger picture on how you can develop
some skills that make you more of a unique asset that make you more valuable
to companies who want to hire you or or if you want to do freelance work to to
sell your services and that's how you're really gonna grow your income and
actually kind of create a career path for yourself and we'll get into that
more later but for now let's kind of dive into these seven work from home
jobs that you can do alright so first of all this is Amazon and I don't know if
you know this but Amazon actually hires a whole bunch of virtual employees and
so this page here is just like kind of a job listing page where they just kind of
specify all these different jobs that they have and if you come down to the
bottom you can click work from home jobs they have 495 different work from home
jobs available and they're for all kinds of different levels of skill and
expertise and really just a variety of different stuff that's available in
regardless about how you feel about working for Amazon they're definitely a
big enough company that they're not going anywhere and next on this list is
this one called VIPKID and this is a really interesting one but basically
these guys it's a company that's looking for english-speaking you know
first-language english-speaking teachers to teach Chinese and Korean kids I
believe that's the main kind of group that they're focusing on and there are a
few requirements here they do require a bachelor's degree but in any field and
they require one school year of traditional teaching experience
or equivalent in mentoring tutoring alternative education and so I think
that could be a variety of different things we ought to check with them to
kind of be sure with that but there's just a lot of flexibility here I believe
they pay up to twenty two dollars an hour they said the minimum payment is
fourteen to eighteen dollars an hour and this is something where you're just
doing this from home just teaching online and so it does seem like there's
a good amount of flexibility here but they do kind of tell you somewhere down
in here yeah having availability during the times mentioned above could insure a
higher possibility being booked by our students so so if you have any interest
in teaching English and you happen to have some of that experience that's
something to consider as well now if you like dogs this is a really cool one my
mom actually did this and this is a web site and there's actually a whole bunch
of different web sites that do this this is just one that I found but basically you
can be a dog sitter and you can bring dogs into your house so I mean this is
going on like crazy people are going to vacation they don't know what to do with
their dog and so they're looking for pets that are nearby and a couple of
these websites have made it really easy to do that and so you can get paid to
host dogs and so my parents actually did this they brought a few dogs into their
home for the weekend and made some money and had fun playing with the dogs and
their dog that they have actually got worn out which is a good thing and all
dogs have to play together so so it's a review love animals this is definitely
something to consider I don't know much about the pay with this but I do know
that if you do the dog boarding yourself rather than just going over to someone's
house to watch their dog or let their dog out you make a good bit more when
you bring the dog into your house you need if you like talking to people or
being on the phone this company is a really cool one because they connect you
with different call center jobs and there's a whole bunch of different
opportunities here so they have let me come down here show you so they have
like inbound sales so if you want to do sales you did you can work as a roadside
assistance rep you can do technical support insurance claims food order
taking customer service stuff insurance health care payroll support like I'm
sure there's even more than that but point is is that if you want to be on
the phone talking to people you can do that from home and this company helps
connect you to other companies who are doing that and so that is definitely -
something to consider as well now this one I want to put on here just because
people ask about all time this is Survey Junkie I'm hesitant
on here because you're not gonna make tons of money with this but if you want
to take some surveys and make a little bit of money on the side this is the
best survey site I have found to do it there are so many of these and honestly
so many of them are junk and these guys actually are legit but again I caution
you this is not a job this is something maybe while you're sittin on the couch
you can make a few extra bucks and go for that but the pay I don't expect to
be anywhere near some of the other things that we're looking at now I don't
know if you've done this yet we just had a baby and so we are having a lot of
food delivered to our house and one of the places that are delivering that food
to us it's called DoorDash and if you haven't used it you should check it out
it's really cool but basically they have an app you go in there you type in the
food you want and then someone goes and buys it from the restaurant that you
want and then they bring it back to your house and that's it so working for DoorDash
I guess it's not technically at home because you need to drive around but the
gist of it is is that you drive over to Applebee's pick up some food for Joe
Blow over here and then you drive it over to his house and then drop it off
so it works similar to Uber or Lyft and that you're using your own car and
you're the delivery person but you don't have to have people in your car you're
just driving food from point A to point B and dropping it off you know one of
the nice things about this is the flexibility and people are ordering food
all the time and probably peak hours are outside of the normal nine-to-five so
you can do this with a full time job and do this on the side to earn some extra
cash as well now if the phone call center jobs kind of freaked you out and
you don't want to get on the phone but you want to be hind it little chat box
because so many websites are now offering customer support with little
chat boxes as you know you can do be a chat support agent and so this site here
kind of has a listing of a whole bunch of different companies that need chat
support agents and many of these are from home and you can do this from home
you know and so every company's gonna be a little bit different in their
requirements and you know their flexibility but the idea of being a chat
agent is pretty enticing because you can sit in your pajamas and do you think
alright so those are the seven for today if you haven't checked out our Twelve
Side Hustle Video that will give you some more ideas so check that one out
we'll have it linked up above and like I was mentioned at the beginning I do want you
to be thinking about how you can really grow your income and that is going to
come by learning some skills and increasing your education that doesn't
mean going to college necessarily and we're in a age where I think a
college degree is becoming less and less valuable but there are a lot of other
ways to learn and so in this next video I want to talk about some principles and
ideas that just kind of changed my financial life and really helped me
break out of the cycle of working jobs that I hated that I wasn't good at -
finding work that I loved that I was passionate about that paid well and that
was just really fulfilling so if that's something you're looking for I will see
you in the next video
