I love the internet. Honestly. Aside from the fact I can look up any question I have and find the answer, the Internet has made it possible for anyone to broaden their career horizons. There are so many different paths we can take and so many business ideas that we can start up in the comfort of our own homes and favorite pajamas. Degrees come in handy in some aspects but the world is definitely moving towards a more entrepreneur run industry where people are making their own schedules and not sticking to the normal 9-5 shift. They work when their company demands it, not because a schedule does.
By working from home you are able to work wherever you like, giving you a more flexible work environment and agenda.
Virtual assistant – If your organized, self-motivated, and don’t mind busy work, I think becoming a virtual assistant could be a very promising position. They typically handle any number of small tasks for a particular person or business. Tasks include blogging, scheduling, data entry, and answering emails. You never know where this path could take you since it would be a remote job. You could be scheduling flights for a small business in the UK or entering data for a start-up. The good news is that anyone can become a virtual assistant. I would check out palife.co.uk if you’re interested in learning more about these types of positions.
Start your own business – Starting your own business can be stressful. These days, reaching out to others is so easy and natural! That’s why the sharing products does so well on social media. Bypass the retail channel of yesteryear in favor of a person-to-person focus. Try a business out for 30 days; earn more and work less by building your passive income sources. It is an opportunity for you to earn extra income on your own time. There are plenty of companies that people have the capability to build a residual income from and live a rewarding life on their own terms.
Copywriting – If you have a degree in communication, English, marketing, or advertising, copywriting might be the (new) job for you. Copywriting is the ultimate working-from-home career for anyone that can write to a good standard. Typically you would put together promotional content for companies, like direct mailings, commercials, newsletters, and websites. There are also other forms of writing you can go for, such as grant writing or informative posting. If puzzles are your forte, copywriting allows you to take all of your pieces of content and put them into one big promotional content piece, from home or a coffee shop, or even on the road.
Bookkeeping – Accountants, financial folks, I’m talking to YOU! If you have any sort of accounting background and want to earn money from home, you should really look into bookkeeping. There are a lot of small companies, local organizations, or even individuals that need bookkeepers. You do not necessarily need to be a certified accountant in order to go down this route either. A lot of small business owners are looking for freelancer bookkeepers because they cannot afford to hire someone on a full-time basis. If you’re good with numbers and can keep financials organized this might be a decent outlook for you.
Make your own craft beer – The craft beer industry is booming. There are so many different flavors to be experimented with, and recently people are becoming more and more open to broadening their beer tasting horizons than ever before. How the hell do you start up a business from your own home though? You can head to brewingaxis.com for a complete guide on homebrewing. This will help you to understand what is entailed so you can determine whether or not this is right for you. You could start as a hobby and have some family and friends taste test your product. Word of mouth might get you pretty far.
Graphic design – Graphic design is something that can easily be carried out from the comfort of your own home. A degree is not required but some sort of qualification is as this will take a major creative eye and skill in the technology business. You can easily attain this from home with an online course. Companies are always going to need graphic designers to assist them with conveying information in a visual manner through the likes of websites, posters, advertisements, and logos. It is easier for them to hire someone on retainer than to outsource to a company. Some quick cash can easily be made here.
Hopefully, one of these business ideas resonates with you if you’re serious about changing up your career life or even utilizing some free time. Nevertheless, if you are still searching for the perfect home-based business idea, don’t stop! There are so many other options. The sky is the limit. It is time for you to reach for the stars and secure the career of your dreams from the comfort of your footie-pajamas.
