There was a time when working from home was a pipe dream. Thanks to technology like Slack, there’s been a surge of legit jobs you can do from home.
Whether that’s working remotely for a company or starting your own business there’s no shortage of work-at-home opportunities. Here are 50 work from home jobs that most make above the average American salary.
1. Affiliate Marketer
For those unfamiliar with affiliate marketing, it’s simply referral marketing where you earn a commission. Let’s say that you have a website and refer a book on Amazon. When the visitor clicks the affiliate link and buys the books, Amazon will pay you a percentage of the sale.
People love affiliate marketing because you can start earning money passively with little start-up costs.
2. Animator
Are you an artistic and creative individual who is able to create animation and visual effects for television, movies, video games, and other types of media? Then you can work at home as freelance animator. I’ve seen animators make between $25 to $106 an hour on sites like Upwork.
3. Baker/Caterer/Chef
If you have a knack for baking or cooking, then turn your passion into a side business. From your own kitchen you could start a catering or personal chef business. If you’re a baker, you could sell you goods to friends, neighbors, online, or at local farmer’s markets.
4. Blogger
Blogging is inexpensive and easy to start. It could be as simple as you just writing about your favorite music or food. Eventually, this hobby can start generating some money for you.
Just keep in mind that you need to pay patient when it comes to cashing-in on your blog....

I’ve been a full-time freelance writer working from home since 2009. I discovered this business when I lived in the Philippines and needed a source of online income. It is very realistic to make $25 to $50 per hour writing website content, blogs, social media, press releases, and other types of content for businesses. It does take some work to get started though.
You need a decent website and writing portfolio to present yourself professionally to prospective clients. You also need a good way to market yourself. I started out doing cold emailing - got a lot of clients that way in my first couple years. These days, that method doesn’t work nearly as well. Thankfully, most of my clients now are people I’ve worked with for years and referrals of theirs. I’ve also gotten some good clients from LinkedIn in recent years.
Last year was my best, at $44K.
Downsides are I'm a 1099 so no vacation, sick, or pension, and I pay the employer side of Social Security.
Upside is no commute, no office politics bullshit, no work clothes, can drop everything and go to yoga, make meals, go out in the garden anytime I want. I have freedom and peace.
She and a couple other gals and I had a supper reunion after a 10 year absence earlier this year.
She ended up having high sales making over $100,000 a year and met Joan Lunden at one of their conventions.
While she enjoyed the income, she said she had to give it up due to the stress of dealing with the family members of parents needing their facilities..........
I like historical stuff and have turned in a dozen interviews with WW2, Korea and VN vets for the paper's Nov. 11th edition. Not much money but fun.
On one interview, I talked to a 93 year old guy who helped build a gasoline pipeline through the Burma jungle so Hump pilots could make the flight back from China to India. My dad was one of those pilots who carried freight safely over the Hump and back, courtesy of the pipeline.
Bttt.

I'm going to go look for one of those right now!
I told my wife I am going to ride in the Berlin Bicycle Tour next week and the next day she asked me to take pictures because she got hired to write an article about it.
Have worked from home since the early 2000’s and make quite a lot...however i do spend quite a bit of time onsite with customers and on planes
Still beats hell out of a daily commute and people in an office distracting me
Repairer? Not a Repairman? The first word doesn’t even make sense.
There's a market for that … might want to promote your blog on WebMD and nursing homes.
My sister runs a legal scoping school. I’m in one of her classes now and will work my own business from home when I retire in a few years. Legal scoping is basically being a proofreader for court reporters. Takes about six months to learn. She’s done it for 30 years and now teaches it. I can’t wait to start!

That's a really strange reason to pull a posting.
Can you tell me more about doing the customer service rep from home? (you can message me) I’m thinking about retiring soon and might be interested in something where I didn’t have to leave the house. : )
This link on e-commerce from the article is a good read.

I hear you can make good money on-line telling people how they can make good money on-line.
1. Make BIG money stuffing envelopes at home ...
“From your own kitchen you could start a catering or personal chef business. If you’re a baker, you could sell you goods to friends, neighbors, online, or at local farmer’s markets.”
only if can afford the expense a time to bring your kitchen up to commercial standards and continuously pass all the health department inspections. there are jurisdictions that go around shutting down kids lemonade stands and free popcorn poppers in hardware stores ...
“Learning a programming language, such as Ruby, can make around $61 per hour. Not too shabby. If you’re interested, here’s a handy programmer guide to get you on your way.”
indeed. programming is a lot like envelop-stuffing. pretty much anyone can take a couple of programming courses, regardless of their background, and in just a couple of months become an ace programmer earning $61 per hour ... in fact, i’m pretty sure i saw an ad like this in the back of a comic book a couple of weeks ago ...
The only thing to tell humblegunner is to shut up and go away.
