It is no secret that 2020 has been the most stressful year in recent memory. No one has gone unscathed from the global pandemic but some have been impacted more than others. If you have lost your job or had your hours severely diminished then it might be time to think about turning that spare room into an office and start producing an income from the comfort of your own home.

Below we have several different options for people all over the world who chose to work remotely and manifest their efforts into producing a viable revenue stream. Let’s see if there is one that’s right for you!

Affiliate Marketer

Share your passion with the world and get a website up and running that focuses on whatever it is you enjoy or makes you who you are. Maybe you like southern living and have an affinity for cooking biscuits and gravy or southern fried chicken. Share those recipes with the world and recommend a kitchen utensil that you use when creating those culinary masterpieces. You will then get paid by the company that manufactures that item whenever one of your readers clicks the link taking them to the website that sells that particular item. You get money because of a passive sale and you don’t even need to be a salesperson to make the commission. Just be you! 

Home Chef

Do you have a favorite recipe that everyone loves or do you simply have a knack for cooking? Either way, turn your passion into a business and sell your baked goods or dishes to your neighbors, local restaurants, or farmer’s markets. How about catering local parties and events? If your food is good, you will have more customers than you know what to do with and you’ll never sit behind a desk again! 

Hi there! All of our recipes can be found directly on our website. Here is a handy link for you: https://t.co/2hHjMQmKww.

Sports Bettor

While this may sound counter-intuitive, the fact is that there are people out there who research sporting events much like a corporate executive would before launching a new product. It takes plenty of due diligence, money management, and discipline. However, if you enjoy sports, or even if you don’t, signing up for accounts at one or more online sportsbooks can make this dream a reality. Use a betting parlay to win big or keep your wagers to straight bets on either sides or totals. The choice is yours but make sure to limit all of your bets to one percent of your bankroll and keep the number of wagers you make to one to three per day.

Child Caregiver

Do you like kids? Well, if you do, then running a daycare from your home might be exactly up your alley. Make sure to check out what licenses and permits you need from your city or town and comply with all their requirements. Once you do that, then you’re in business from the comfort of your own home! 

Customer Service Representative

Companies are relying more and more than ever before on home-based customer service agents. If you have a computer, a solid internet connection, and a phone then you are in business. The average company will pay roughly $14 per hour for their outsourcing reps but it’s enough to grow a steady income while you look for more clients. 

Event Planner

If you are a good organizer and like to plan events then this is the right home-based business for you. Everything from weddings, to anniversary parties, and corporate events are all opportunities for you to make money. Get the word out, set up a reliable list of vendors with whom you can work to get the job done, and deliver a stunning event. 

Online Instructor

Peloton built an empire in under a decade doing exactly this. Of course, they also build and sell the exercise bike that inspired online training but they took a novel approach and set up a monthly charge for their customers to engage with their instructors while they work out. If you have a skill, whether it be fitness, music, or academic tutoring then you can lend your knowledge over the internet to customers willing to pay for your expertise. 

Survey Taker

Companies rely on surveys to figure out what they are doing right and what they are doing wrong. They even pay for this information so if you like to share your opinions then this could be the perfect job for you!
