The Flexibility of Working From Home

Work at home opportunities are particularly beneficial to individuals in need of flexibility such as:

• families who need to take care of their young children (or aging parents) or
• students looking to earn extra money in their spare time (when they’re not studying or socializing 🙂 ) or
• Retirees looking for supplemental income (without having to deal with another boss or commute)

The Internet has given millions of people who want the flexibility to work around their children’s schedules, save on daycare costs, contribute to their family’s income, stay financially independent, make money even while on vacation, etc., the ability to do all those things and more and so can YOU.

If you are searching for a home based job, but don’t necessarily want to start your own business, there are thousands upon thousands of home based jobs available for you to choose from. A simple Google search will provide you pages of results to review.

If going through all those pages doesn’t sound like how you want to spend your time, because you’re not sure what to look for, no worries. You’ve come to the right place! Below are 7 legitimate work at home jobs; many that you can get started with right away!

  • Virtual Assistant – these jobs are great for individuals with previous experience in administration or clerical work, as they sometimes require qualifications. Virtual assistants can earn an income similar to a personal assistant or more, especially when you can offer additional skills such as social network management or bookkeeping.
  • Data Entry – these are some of the most common work at home jobs and require little if any previous experience. The job entails you filling out forms provided by the company hiring you online. Each form requires a few minutes to complete. You can work as much or as little as you want, but can make up to $300 per day.
  • Online Surveys – this is a more of a side hustle income. You may not make a lot of money, but if your one of those individuals who loves always giving your opinion, why not make a few bucks. Many of the top online survey sites such as Swagbucks, MyPoints, and Survey Junkie, work on a points system. The points add up and you can redeem them for cash or gift cards. If you’re just looking for cash options, check out Inbox Dollars and Vindale Research. Looking for something that offers you the ability to make a little more?? Check out this opportunity.
