Ways To Make Money Working From Home by Danurugwo: 8:22am On Jan 05, 2019
Tired of that morning commute, those gray cubicle walls, and that very loud gum chewer one seat down? Working from home provides the opportunity to still do a job you love while avoiding the pitfalls of a cramped office space. And for some, it’s not just about escaping gray walls.

Working parents, military spouses, and those who just need a more flexible schedule benefit from a nontraditional work environment. Here are 15 career choices that can be done remotely from home.

Work From Home Jobs
The best part is that you can search for jobs anywhere in the country! Make sure use modify your search for “remote” or “work from home” jobs.

 Appointment Setter
What’s the gig?

Appointment setters work with their company’s sales team to organize in-person appointments. The appointment setter has access to team calendars and arranges schedules for customer interactions. Customer service skills are a high priority, as inbound calls made to schedule appointments can range from curious sales inquiries to vital business arrangements.

Call Center Representative
What’s the gig?

Call center representatives provide an informative voice to customers who need information or help to resolve an issue. The beauty of this gig is that call center representatives can set up shop at home, often needing only a landline telephone connection to start working.

You’ll get the fun task of making travel arrangements for business trips, corporate trips, and family vacations from your kitchen table.

Order Processing
What’s the gig?

Very similar to a call center representative, an at-home order processing job requires phone time and customer service skills. Order processors take customer orders and lead customers through any confusing buying processes. They also update customer profiles and information.

Seasonal Call Support
What’s the gig?

Retailers need seasonal workers to answer phone calls, and summer venues need workers to take on crowded bookings. It’s the ultimate part-time job, because it only happens once or twice a year. Seasonal call support workers provide backup to year-round workers, and can work from the comfort of home. It’s all about timing. You won’t find seasonal work smack in the middle of the Christmas season一those workers were hired weeks earlier and have gone through training to get there. Seasonal work begins to advertise a few months or weeks before the event. Keep an eye on your favorite job board, or use the keyword “seasonal” when searching.

Bilingual Translations
What’s the gig?

Those lucky enough to speak more than one language have the option of becoming translators. Many companies hire work-from-home representatives to answer customer or client calls in another language.

Sales Agents
What’s the gig?

Forget being a door-to-door salesman. This is phone-to-phone and email-to-email sales.

(The best part is not wearing a suit and tie.) Sales agents make cold calls to businesses or customers, explaining a product or service, and leading the client through purchasing. Nearly every industry has a need for sales agents, so it takes some digging to find your work from home niche. Try adding the search keyword “telecommute” or “work from home” to your sales searches.

Business Developer
What’s the gig?

Business developers spend a lot of time communicating. On the phone, online, over coffee. Showing up at an office isn’t required for this job. Work-from-home business developers call potential clients, make deals, and present materials.

First step: Pick your industry. From healthcare to retail, there’s a need for someone to make a deal. Next, give it a search. Some jobs will require local candidates for the occasional in-person meeting, but most can be done virtually anywhere.

What’s the gig?

Consultants are used to sell a product or idea with personal expertise. Entrepreneurs branch out and become professional consultants of their field一offering insight that no one else can provide. Consultants can also be salespeople with an active participation in the product or service; for example, make-up consultants often wear and use the products they are selling. Cosmetics are a huge avenue for consultants and representatives, and after an investment payment, you can start working right away.

There are two avenues for this one: Consult on your own or with a company. Consultants who are also selling a product need to beware of scams. Trust vetted sites like ZipRecruiter for cosmetics and makeup opportunities. The same resource can be used for tech consultants or business consultants looking for a way to start their work-from-home career.

 Real Estate Coordinator
What’s the gig?

Becoming a real estate agent and earning your real estate license not only means you can work from the comfort of your living room, but you are also your own boss.

Coordinators work with vendors, agents, and lenders and arrange property showings and deals.

Most real estate coordinator job require a real estate license. While some coordinator jobs may allow you to join without a license, those who want to make the move to working at home should come prepared. Once you have your license, search reliable job boards like ZipRecruiter.

What’s the gig?

Digital marketers push viral content and make sure to #hashtag every brand name. Some experience is necessary, since marketing jobs often include work with analytics, ad statistics, and SEO. Becoming fluent in social media can lead to open doors.

Connecting on social media is vital for a digital marketing position. Every Twitter and Facebook account has someone behind the wheel. When making the move from a cubicle to home, a social media or digital gig is often first posted on a company’s social media channels. Follow your faves, or perform searches with keywords like “remote” or “work from home”

Virtual Assistant
What’s the gig?

Routine tasks like booking travel arrangements and answering emails can become overwhelming. Virtual assistants step in to take on a variety of daily tasks. They can work for a variety of clients such as, executives, small business owners, and journalists. They perform administrative and clerical tasks. All a virtual assistant really needs is a secure internet connection.

This remote job calls for someone who is tech savvy and able to communicate clearly across multiple channels. Communicating through email, phone calls, and Skype makes it easy to reach out across the world and find employers.

Styling companies are springing up across the country and need fashion stylists to work with their clients. It’s like playing dress-up, but with a paycheck. Fashion stylists usually get their start working retail or costume design, but a love of fashion is the main requirement. With personal shopping sites like Stitchfix or Nordstrom’s Trunk Club, it’s possible to be a stylist right in your living room.

Being familiar with a styling brand and how their company works can be a foot in the door. Current styling clients may be future stylists. Online applications can be found with a simple internet search, or on your favorite styling site.

 Freelance Writer
What’s the gig?

When the only tools you need to complete your job are a laptop and a way with words, your office can be anywhere. Copywriters, bloggers, technical writers and SEO writers can work from home, the coffee shop, or their own backyards. The more you write and build up your portfolio, the more jobs you can get.
