25 Companies That Will Hire You to Work from Home
Over the years, I have met and befriended a ton of my fellow homeschool moms. We talk about the ups and downs of our individual homeschool journeys. As amazing as it can be to be able to be so hands-on with our children’s education, one thing that many of us do struggle with is that desire to contribute financially. Let’s face it – many of us could definitely benefit from having an additional stream of income. However, we don’t want to have to sacrifice our ability to homeschool in order to make that happen.
Fortunately, in this digital age, we don’t necessarily have to choose between being able to homeschool and being able to work. In fact, there are a wide variety of work-at-home opportunities that allow us to be able to do (and enjoy) both. If you have been looking for these opportunities, you are going to love this post. I have listed 25 companies that will pay you to work from home. Check them out to see if there is an opportunity that would fit you perfectly. I tried to gather a variety of different types to make it more likely that you will find something that would be viable for your situation.
Phone Jobs
If you have a landline and a workspace where you won’t be interrupted, these jobs might be great for you. Depending on the company, you will be expected to either make outbound calls to clients and potential customers or field inbound calls in order to perform customer service. All of my friends that have these types of jobs tend to choose work schedules that align with when their kids are either sleeping or away at school.
Search Engine Evaluators
If you love being online, you might want to consider serving as a search engine evaluator for the following companies. Essentially, your job would be to analyze search engine results to help ensure that they are accurate and helpful. It can be tedious work, but is definitely something that is of value in this age of digital information.
Teaching
If you love working with people, have a mastery of certain topics, and have a knack for explaining concepts in a way that people can understand, you might have what it takes to teach. Below are companies that hire people to either teach or grade student work.
Transcription
Are you a great listener? Can you type fast? Are you able do both at the same time with minimal errors? If so, a career in transcription might be right up your alley. The following companies will pay you to transcribe audio and video content for them.
Travel
If you have always wanted to work in the travel industry, this could be a great opportunity for you. These companies hire people to work remotely for a variety of travel-related jobs, such as helping people book various aspects of business and personal trips.
Travel With Magic– Great for people with travel agent experience who have a history of visiting Disney World.
Virtual Assistance
If you are very organized and love helping other, people, you may want to consider embarking on a career as a virtual assistant. These jobs typically involve doing the same types of task that a personal assistant or administrative assistant would complete.
Extra Money
These options are not likely to pay any significant bills, but they are awesome for earning a little pocket money here and there.
As you can see, there are several different ways that you can earn money from the comfort of your own home. In fact, this list doesn’t even really scratch the surface of what you can find if you keep an eye out and dig around a bit. It is 100% possible to find legitimate work at home opportunities – regardless of if you need to earn a full-time income or just want to have a bit more spending money in your wallet.
