Computer Programming

Information technology jobs are extremely well-suited to remote work. If you can code, you can likely find remote employment in web design, software development, systems analysis, or information security analysis.

Tutoring

Many types of online tutoring positions are currently available. You can teach music, math, reading, or other subjects via video conference in much the same manner as traditional in-person tutoring.

Online English tutoring is another option. Websites such as Cambly allow you to tutor children or have conversations with adults from around the world – all with the goal of helping them improve their spoken English and comprehension skills.

You can also leverage your unique skill set and teach classes on platforms like Udemy. Cooking, language, computer skills, branding, history – the sky is the limit!

Translation

Are you bilingual or multilingual? If so, you possess an in-demand skill. As a translator, you will translate documents from one language to another. You’ll need to understand the rules of grammar and be able to express your thoughts clearly in both languages. Last year, German, Japanese, and Chinese translators enjoyed the highest demand.

Writing

Websites must update their content frequently in order to rank highly in search results. The articles and posts must also employ Search Engine Optimization (SEO) techniques.

If you’re good at research, typing, and grammar, content writing might be a good fit for you. You can use content mills like Textbroker to find businesses willing to pay for written content.

Telehealth

The COVID-19 pandemic initiated a rapid proliferation of telehealth services. Doctors, nurses, and other clinicians now have the flexibility to work online if they so desire. They can consult with patients via phone or video conference to diagnose and treat common ailments. Speech therapists, occupational therapists, and mental health professionals have also found telehealth to be effective.

Customer Service

Working as a customer service representative is a classic remote job. All you’ll need is a computer, a headset, a stable internet connection, and the training that the company provides. Online retailers, service providers, and other businesses need customer service reps to take customer calls and help them troubleshoot products, software, or experiences.

Social Media Marketing

Social media marketing is becoming increasingly important. Companies and individuals will pay for someone else to post to Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and TikTok on their behalf.

Branding is a major aspect of social media marketing. You’ll need to obtain a thorough understanding of your client’s mission and values, as well as the aesthetic most attractive to their customers. Then, create content that meets those needs.

Photography

Sites like Pond5 and Shutterstock allow photographers to take photos of what they want, upload them, and get paid for letting others use the photos in print or online.

If you’re looking for income that is less passive, you can use a website like Ocus to find business-to-business photoshoots near you.

Drone photography is also growing in popularity. If you’re able to edit video as well, you can create amazing clips for businesses to use on their websites or social media.

House Sitting

Housesitting can even unlock doors to help you travel the world. Trusted Housesitters pairs sitters with homes around the world. The sits are often of long duration, lasting weeks or even months. Many involve caring for animals on the property. You won’t get paid in cash for this type of sit, but you will have free accommodations. Pair this with another type of remote work, and you’ll be all set to work from anywhere.
