It can be as simple as ordering a pizza, booking a flight, managing schedules, and appointments, or working on Microsoft Office documents for your client.

One Virtual Assistant I know earns around $800 per month, working 40 hours per week. She used to be a call center agent but now works as a full-time Virtual Assistant. She earns more than her previous job and gets to do her work anywhere she wants.

Start Blogging

$10 – $100 per blogging project. My wife used to blog her personal experiences, stories, and anything under the sun. I ended up blogging under her influence, and we decided to create one blog for the two of us. It was rebranded as her blog when I got busy with my office-based job.

Before, Vlogging was a thing Blogging was the go-to for online presence and sharing your experience. Up to now, it’s still one way to earn through writing. The payment for blog writing, posting, advertisement, or backlinks varies per client. A simple backlink can sometimes make as much as $50. Are you thinking of blogging now? You can try free hosting sites like Blogger or WordPress to get started.

Teach English to Earn Money From Your Home

$15-18 per direct student, per hour. You might be worried about how you can teach Chinese or Korean students or anyone wanting to learn English if you can’t speak their language, right? The secret is you don’t have to worry because you’ll be solely talking to them in English unless you want to do some idle chit-chat with your student.

Some companies only offer 2$ or less per hour even till now, and I would say those are the ones you need to avoid unless you have no other options, which I doubt. A friend of ours who has direct students can earn as much as $1,200 per month. You usually get more students during summertime since students have more free time to take extra lessons.

Earn Money as A Transcriptionist

$0.30-$1.10 Per audio/video per minute is the range of general transcriptionists. You listen to an audio or video and type down the words you hear. It might sound easy, but there would be times when you would have to repeat the recording to catch the words accurately.

A personal suggestion is that if you are a registered nurse, you can work as a medical transcriptionist. Medical Transcriptionist can earn more as knowledge of medical terms is needed.

Sell Items Online

The skies are the limit on this one. Nobody said that the only way to earn is by working for or with someone. If you’re feeling a little more adventurous and would like to explore the idea of being the boss, then this might be the one for you. You can sell anything you want like food, clothes, services and many more.

It’s pretty easy to get started now, especially since there are many well-known online selling platforms that you can easily navigate to monitor your sales, track orders, and customer inquiries. I’ve heard and seen tons of success stories of those who ventured out to online selling.

Offer Services

The more skills and knowledge you have, the higher your chance of earning more by offering your service as a freelancer or a full-time employee. It can be a project-based or per-hour basis. Graphic Designers can earn up to$18.40 per hour, while Web Designers can earn up to $21.55 per hour as a freelancer.

There are a lot of websites that can help you find a home-based job. You can even work as an Accountant, Legal Advisor, Customer Service Representative, or even the most specific type of job as long as it can be done using a computer.

$500 per month or higher depending on experience. The best thing about this is that you can take multiple clients simultaneously as long as you can complete the given task.

Social Media Managers are responsible for helping in strategy planning, community management, running paid advertisements on social media like Facebook, and content writing. It might sound like a lot of responsibilities, but It’s been proven by a lot that it’s possible to have more than three clients at the same time, increasing your capacity to earn more.

Data Entry Home Based Jobs

The job title might sound basic, but the salary can be just as competitive as other work from home jobs. It will still depend on what kind of task you’ll be doing, your experience, and your client. It’s not impossible to land a job with a $4 – $5 per hour rate or even higher.

Data entry tasks include typing documents, reports, repetitive manual input of information, proofreading, organizing files, and administrative skills.

There’s a lot more to add to the list, and the office job you’re currently doing right now might be one of those. If you think the job you’re doing right now can still be completed without being physically present in an office, then you’re already halfway to earning from home.
