Do flexible, legitimate, good-paying stay at home jobs really exist? Yes! In fact, there are now more work from home jobs and ways to make money online available than there ever have been before. Who wouldn’t want to stay at home and get paid?
In this article, I am going to cover the absolute best stay at home jobs that you can start making money with today.
1) Start a Money Making Blog
What it pays: When you first start a blog, you need to have your ducks in a row- but once you do, you could earn some good money! Pay varies from blogger to blogger and increases with time- some make a small amount each month, and some make five figures per month or more.
It depends on a variety of factors, such as how much work you can put into it, how profitable the niche is that you are in, how much your willing to invest in blogging resources, having a solid content and marketing plan, and so on. Blogging can be one of the most profitable online jobs for moms.
How do bloggers make money you ask?
– Affiliate Marketing: Affiliate marketing is where you promote services or products to your readers, and if they click through your link and complete the transaction, you will get a commission from the company for pointing them that way.
– Display Ads: Once you have got a decent amount of traffic coming to your site, you can join good advertising networks that pay a lot of money, such as Mediavine.
– Sponsorships: Sponsorships are when a brand will pay you to write about them in a dedicated post (or multiple posts) on your blog. These may also include social media shares or could be just on your social media.
– Selling Products and Services: Selling products and services is a great way to make money from your blog, and you can use them at any point in your blogging journey.
9) Become a User Experience Tester (UserTesting.com)
What it pays: You can earn up to $60 per test. You will be paid $10 via PayPal for every 20-minute video that you complete.
What it is: You visit a website or app and complete a set of tasks whilst speaking out loud about what you are doing and your thoughts on it.
Companies will pay you to do this because they want to make sure that their customers are happy, and get feedback from their sites or apps. Hearing your thoughts as you look at it live can give them valuable insights that could lead to more sales for them.
How to get started: Sign up through UserTesting here. You will need to take a sample test, and when you are approved, you start earning.
10) Data Entry
What it is: Data entry is the process of moving one form of data into another, usually done on a computer. This is typically quite a big job, so many companies hire out for this part of their business. This is a good option for stay at home moms who can sit and get things done quickly!
How to get started: Have a look at sites such as FlexJobs or Indeed. There are other sites that you can use such as Smart Crowd, Smart, Clickworker, and you could also try out Fiverr.
12) Sell on Amazon
What it is: You can sell pretty much anything on Amazon these days, and the best way to make a good profit is to get something for a low fee and then sell it on for a lot more.
You can find goods such as toys in a reduced price section at a local store and list them online. If you do Amazon FBA, you send the items to Amazon’s warehouse, and they will ship them out to the customer for you once they have sold.
How to get started: Have a read through some Amazon FBA articles or YouTube videos to get some advice from the pros on how they do it. The best thing to do is to just get started!
You can use the Amazon FBA app to scan bar codes of items in your home to give you a feel for how it works, and go from there.
14) Transcribe Videos, Movies, Audio Files
What it is: You will be transcribing audio files – listening to the audio and then typing up what is being said on them – hence why quick typing skills are needed!
How to get started: There are a bunch of different websites that you can join, and many of them will take on people who have had no prior experience. They are generally quite flexible as they realize that people doing these jobs will be working around their kids.
Some sites to check out are TranscribeMe, Capital Typing, CastingWords, GMR Transcription, the list goes on! You will usually have to do a typing test before you are hired.
15) Flip Items at Flea Markets for Cash
What it is: This is similar to Amazon FBA, but you can resell on any platform that you want. You will find things that are for sale at a low cost, and then sell on for a much higher price to get a great profit. You could resell on sites like Amazon, eBay, Facebook Marketplace, and more.
How to get started: Sign up for our friends’ course over at Flea Market Flipper. They do this as a full-time job, and their course will show you the items that sell well, as well as help you with shipping queries.
16) Life Coach
What it is: There are many different types of life coaches out there, but typically a coach is someone who helps their clients work toward their future goals and assists them in achieving those goals.
How to get started: As with all coaching jobs, a Bachelor’s degree isn’t needed but you’ll want to get certification before you offer services to clients. There are some very expensive programs out there, but a good, lower-cost course to check out is Life Coaching Certificate Course – although make sure that you do your research first to ensure you choose a course or program that suits YOUR career needs.
17) Health Coach
What it is: Coaching is turning into a massive industry because so many people want to get fit and healthy, but they aren’t sure where to start. In fact, getting physically fit is very much psychological, which is why people look for a coach to get them in the zone mentally.
How to get started: You don’t currently need a diploma or certification to be a coach. If you do however want to get a qualification, one of the more popular is the certification from the International Association for Health Coaches.
18) Travel Agent
What it is: Travel agents are people who arrange vacations and trips for their customers, to try and find them the best deal and advise on the best destinations. You can set up as a travel agency working from home, and do it all digitally and/or over the phone.
How to get started: Some agencies will help you to get set up as an agent, such as Travel Planners International, Nexion, Avoya Travel, and Outside Agents.
You can check Indeed, Facebook, SimplyHired, or more for any type of job listing you can think of. Many businesses will use these sites, not just for stay at home jobs, but all sorts of opportunities.
Where Else Can I Find Legitimate Stay at Home Jobs?
We are in a beautiful time, where we can find so many resources online! You can use Google to check out stay at home jobs or find websites dedicated to job postings. You can check Indeed, Ratracerebellion, Facebook, SimplyHired, or more for any type of job listing you can think of. Many businesses will use these sites, not just for stay at home jobs, but all sorts of opportunities.
You can also use Facebook, Instagram, or other social media platforms to promote your own business or craft sales. You can use social media to easily share pictures, make sales, and get people interested in your work.
Create your own website (or blog!) to demonstrate your work, your passion, and to gain interest for whatever you might be selling- art, freelance work, or anything! A webpage gives you more flexibility than just a Facebook page, so you can add as much as you like and still interact with potential clients and make sales.
Places also sell web services with great customization options, like Wix or Squarespace.
Lastly, don’t forget to check local businesses for flyers or ads- they may have jobs posted and some have the potential to be online jobs! And see what you can find out from friends and family, you never know who could hook you up.
