full time income working from home for the past ten years, I know how important
flexibility, autonomy and independence are when it comes to a career. Maybe
you're someone looking for another income stream such as a student or a
stay-at-home mom or maybe you're ready to leave the corporate rat race. Either
way, there's nothing better than working when you want where you want. So let's
jump into where you can find career opportunities that allow you to work
from home. Work from home option number 1 - Find a well established organization that offers remote work opportunities. With remote work becoming
more mainstream, there are a plethora of positions available. In fact a study
released by Flex jobs shows that telecommuting by employees has increased
a hundred and fifteen percent over the past ten
years. With a little bit of research you can find a position that aligns
perfectly with your career aspirations while giving you a nice healthy
work-life balance. The great thing about working for a well-established
organization is a consistent paycheck and the possibility of health and
vacation benefits. So every year Flex Jobs announces their
top 100 companies with remote work opportunities. A few of my favorites on
the list Amazon, Dell and United Health Group.
To find out what the other 97 companies are and how to apply for one of those
positions, jump on over to FlexJobs.com. I'll go ahead and link it up below. Work
from home career option number two - offer your expertise as a freelancer. It's
easier now more than ever to become a freelancer, especially with platforms
like Fiverr and UpWork where you can offer your services in exchange for
payment. These global online work places have opportunities that range
from web developer, data entry, transcriptionists, creative writing and
even financial planning. In fact, UpWork recently reported that jobs listed on
their platform make more than 1 billion dollars each year and Fivver reported
that they have more than 1 million dollars in transactions a month. If you
truly want to earn an income working from home, you need to take a look at
these two resources. I'll go ahead and link both of them up below. Work from
home career option number three - become a virtual assistant. With how fast online
businesses are growing and how easy it is to connect with others
globally, virtual assistants are in high demand. A virtual assistant ensures that
business operations run smoothly. A VA can complete tasks from organizing
events, creating presentations, managing social media accounts, answering emails
and handling financial responsibilities and these are just a few of the things
that they do. A VA not only helps solopreneurs but they also help large
organizations. One of the quickest and easiest ways to become a VA is to visit
sites like Fancy Hands, Belay and even UpWork. I'll go ahead and link all of
those up below. Work from home career option number four - create and sell
digital products. It's so easy these days to create and sell a digital products
online, especially with resources like Creative Market and Etsy. You can have a
product created and up for sale within minutes. Some of the most popular, easy to
create digital products include templates, budgets, presentations, fitness
trackers, kids stickers, digital paper, bathroom artwork, coloring pages... I could
go on forever when it comes to digital products. Also if you enjoy taking
pictures, consider creating a bundle of your pictures and offering them for sale
on Etsy or a Creative Market. Some of the most common photography you'll see are
styled stock or even beautiful scenery. Work from home career option number five -
become an online teacher. I saved this one for last because it's my favorite
and it's one of the ways that I've been able to stay at home and make a
full-time income for over ten years. Online education is growing faster than
ever. If you enjoy sharing your skills, your knowledge and your expertise then
this is the work-from-home career option for you. Consider a
platform like VIP Kid where you to teach kids in China how to speak
English or another platform k12.com. An alternate learning platform for students
in grades K through 12. They offer work from home career opportunities like
teachers, student advisors, marketing directors and even in product
development. Another option in the online education is higheredjobs.com.
