None of these options will be a get rich quick option. But, all of them will give you freedom, flexibility and the opportunity for income. Which is after all, why you’re probably here. Here is the list with brief descriptions for each item:
30 Jobs You Can Do From Home

Blogging isn’t going to earn you a full income from day one. But, there is a lot of potential if you know and understand the ins and outs of blogging. Not only can you blog on literally any topic, but you can do it all from your laptop in anywhere in the world. And if you do it long enough, there IS the potential to create a fantastic income from it!
2. Virtual Assistant
Becoming a virtual assistant is a great way to earn extra income and to help business owners nationally. I partnered with NAK & Company and started taking on social media clients. And, you aren’t limited to social media. You can help others with accounting, email organization, branding, websites, podcasting, writing, and MORE.
3. Direct Sales
I have been in direct sales for the last six years and have never looked back. The key here is to find the right company that fits you well. I was looking for amazing products, a fantastic team, and the best compensation plan. That’s why I partnered with Nu Skin. On all of my social media channels, I get to promote the products that fit with my brand and earn 20%-50% profits. It’s free to join and I am not required to recruit! However, I really do love recruiting. You can request to start your own Nu Skin business right alongside me, and I’ll teach you everything I know!
4. Affiliate Marketing
This one is also really fun and can be really lucrative. It takes some research to find companies you’d like to promote online. And there are SO many that are NOT direct sales that you can join for free. Usually it involves promoting their links online and you receive a percentage from each sale you make. It can take a while to really make money this way, but if you’re consistent and use the right tools (AKA Pinterest), it can be well worth it.
I have partnered with Pink Lily and Amazon. I chose both of those companies because I shop at both online stores all the time. Sharing about them was only natural.
5. Ghost Writing
I did some ghost writing for a short time and really enjoyed it. I was a ghostwriter for several blogs, and I found those gigs on UpWork. What’s required is the ability to take direction from the brand you’re writing for and to write content that will attract their target audience. This can be in the form of blogs, websites, newsletters, social media captions- the list goes on!
6. Etsy Shop

Maybe you want to handle all of it- the choice is yours. Regardless, pinning can be done from your computer at your leisure.

A Social Media Manager is similar to #7 and #8. As a social media manager, you’ll manage and maintain accounts for businesses on the platforms that they are on. You’ll be in charge of posting, engagement and managing that account to its full potential. I am a social media manager with NAK & Company and I love helping my clients. Mostly? I take social media off of their plates so they can then go and scale their businesses. A social media manager is NOT a sales department and is not in control of whether the business you’re supporting hits their numbers. You’re there to help another business thrive, and you get to do it anywhere you have wifi!
10. Photography Photo Editing
If you have a knack for design and photos, editing for photographers might be a great fit.

If you can dial in a great skill of editing, you could have a very lucrative income at home. Photographers NEED this. Trust me, I used to be one!

Ever hear the term ‘someone else’s trash is your treasure”? Well, same concept here. Flipping is finding used items in places like thrift stores and yard sales, and selling them for a profit.
