One of the things that the pandemic has shown many of us, is that we prefer to work from the comfort of our own homes. The good news is there are plenty of profitable and fun careers that can be run from home. Just keep reading to find four of the best of them and see which one will best suit your needs.
Graphic Designer
If you love art and aesthetic things, then maybe getting into a graphic design career is for you? The advantages of such a career include that it can be done from home, as long as you have the right equipment.
Also, while many people go to college to study graphic design, a degree isn’t necessary to flourish. Indeed, there are plenty of learning resources online which means you can teach yourself.
Disadvantages to be aware of include that you will have to wait until you have got your skill up to scratch before you can begin earning.
Also, the freelance graphic design market is pretty swamped right now, so finding clients at the right price level could be a challenge in the beginning.
Personal Trainer
Another great option for a home-based job that is also fun is to become a personal trainer, as I mentioned in a previous post. A personal trainer spends their time training, and encouraging others in their fitness goals, and can be expected to do all sorts of things from creating personalized workouts to meal plans.
You may even wish to get an Online Group Fitness Certification, which means you can teach not only one-to-one but full classes as well. Thereby ensuring that you can maximize your income to time spent working ratio.
However, it is worth noting that while some personal trainers work out of their own homes, converting a spare room or garage into a home gym space. Others offer to visit their client’s homes or work out of established gyms.
Freelance Writer
If you love words, then a career as a freelance writer could be perfect for you. Freelance writers can work from home, or remotely and many enjoy taking their laptops along to coffee shops to soak up some atmosphere as they write.
The pieces that you write will depend on what your clients ask of you and can be anything from a quick press release to an in-depth blog post on a specific topic. As a freelancer, you will likely specialize in one or two niches such as travel, business, health, and wellness, or beauty.
Virtual Assistant
Finally, becoming a virtual assistant is also another work-from-home career option that can be lots of fun. Primarily the fun here comes from the great variety of work that your clients may ask you do to including anything from setting their calendars and making travel arrangements, to posting on social media, creating blog posts, and doing research.
Although, before embarking on this career it’s a good idea to consider whether you will work for an agency or set up on your own. This is because an agency can provide you with a steady flow of work. While working independently can help you earn a higher hourly rate.
Final Thoughts
Now more than ever, fun remote career choices are available. It just takes a bit of planning on your part to know what it is that you want to do and strategically work towards that goal.
