Ways you can work from home

  Would you be interested in trying a remote or telecommuting work opportunity? Some people enjoy working from their home office; you may too! Finding legitimate work at home jobs can be quite challenging online since there are a lot of scams.

Unfortunately there are a lot of companies that look and seem legit...but are actually predatory scams I have even fallen for more than I would like to admit. It took me years to educate myself on red flags and stop falling for those sketchy pyramid schemes. You can learn more about how to avoid work at home scams from Feisty Talks, Not The Good Girl or CC Suarez. They are education and hilarious at times. 

You may want to invest in a noise-cancelling headset if you do any type of phone work. Some jobs I have seen in the customer service fields often require it. 

 The Mom Project is a nice option to check out when searching for remote work. Would you enjoy teaching English virtually? Apply for this work from home position

Recently I noticed Aspire had quite a few remote jobs to apply to in categories such as marketing, engineering, finance, sales and more. 

Apply as a tutor

Uber Eats allows you the opportunity to make money with food deliveries

A common way people in my area earn extra cash is doing instacart. It is not a remote job but it is usually flexible for those who are stay at home parents or already work a full-time job. I have not tried it but I have ordered from them as a customer and loved the service. Working for them means you can earn tips as well.

     I wanted to share some companies I have seen usually hiring remote workers. This list changes and updates and this blog and it's contributors are not responsible for if you are hired or can apply at this time. Not every opportunity is a good fit for everyone and do not expect to earn millions of dollars. These are more flexible and part-time jobs to help perhaps with your savings, car gas or paying smaller bills.

 Resumes Written For You

   Some people do earn a lot more money than just grocery money but that is few and far between. It is hard for people to maintain discipline working from home from what I have noticed. A lot of people do prefer working at an actual office and I can totally see why. 

There are many other options to working from home than joining those scammy home party plan businesses also.  A family member of mine works very part-time outside her home as a substitute teacher. It is not home based but it still is flexible since she can do the jobs when she has the time.

....I would fall for those types of companies for many years. I would get recruited to buy a kit then host parties or ask people to buy my overpriced jewelry, shakes and cosmetics. Nothing against people who do those; it just was not profitable for me; and I would rather not recruit others or sell for a company I will never really own. It was cheaper for me to just buy items wholesale or start my own boutique in the long run.

In no way am I saying people who work for multi-level marketing companies are bad people or scammers. I genuinely was trained by those who got me into the business that I was helping others by promoting these "home-based businesses." In all actuality we were just independent contractors selling for wealthy CEO's who would not care about us either way or the other.

Over time I would have made way more money just getting a nine to five job or something with an hourly pay. Some offer perks and benefits. I made extra money baby-sitting, housekeeping, affiliate marketing and re-selling fashion online in the past. They were all helpful to me as I am a mom and it gets so expensive doing a lot of activities with children sometimes. I am thankful for ways to generate income without having to pay insane daycare costs. 


Sure the money is not amazing from all work at home gigs I have done but it weighs out because I was able to work it around my schedule. I figured if I did another job outside the home; I would have to pay for childcare, gas and I would often buy work clothes, lunches and morning coffees. It adds up fast! 


Some other ideas to working from mostly home could be starting a photography business or obtaining an insurance license. Daycare owners or real estate agents can often choose their own hours as well. I know of two friends who make income as a nanny and charge around twenty (USD) bucks per hour. A podcaster I know boards dogs and pet sits. Love animals? Start your own pet-sitting or dog walking business. Regardless; I suggest finding something you enjoy a lot so you are actually enjoying what you do. 



Telecommute, remote or work at home are some things you should search for online if none of the companies below would be a good match for you. Not all companies are constantly hiring or accepting applicants but it is nice to have this list handy to share with others in need of additional income ideas. 




Have a swimming pool? You can apply to rent out your swimming pool. People love renting pools for parties, photo sessions and gatherings with their friends.


Do you have experience as well as a portfolio when it comes to photography? Consider applying with Flytographer.
