Freelance writer

If you're a writer and want to make money from home, freelance writing is one of the best jobs for you. You can write for blogs, websites and newspapers or magazines. You can also write fiction or non-fiction books and reports. Many people earn extra money by writing copy for websites and press releases if they are interested in these fields of work. There are many other ways to make money as a freelance writer such as by writing letters to the editor of your local newspaper or submitting articles online that may be published on other sites.

Proofreader

The job of a proofreader is to ensure that documents are free from grammatical, spelling and punctuation errors. Proofreaders work independently and remotely, so you can work from home or anywhere else with an internet connection.

Proofreading jobs typically pay per page for each document you edit—typically around $2-3 per page. To become a proofreader, you will need to have good English language skills and be familiar with the various grammar rules used in written documents such as AP Style Manual or Chicago Manual of Style. If you’re not sure how to start looking for these types of jobs, sites like Upwork offer lots of options for freelance writers who want to make money online working as proofreaders

Translator

Translators are in high demand, and the field is growing. The ability to translate one language into another is a skill that can be learned by anyone who's willing to put in the time and effort. You can translate text or audio files, or both at once if you have a good grasp of multiple languages.

While some translation jobs require only one language proficiency, there are also opportunities for those who know multiple languages well (for example, Japanese-to-English translators).

Quality Assurance Specialist

A Quality Assurance specialist is a job that involves testing websites and apps, monitoring the quality of products, and making sure they meet certain standards. These highly skilled professionals are expected to be good at reading and writing as well as have patience, logical thinking skills, communication skills and the ability to follow instructions.

These jobs can be done remotely (that's where the "work from home" part comes in) or on-site at tech companies' offices around the world. According to Payscale's data on Quality Assurance specialists' salaries in North America, they earn between $39K-$50K annually; however this amount can vary depending on location and experience level.

Search Engine Evaluator

A search engine evaluator is a person who rates the quality of search results from a given query. Every time you search for something on Google, Bing or Yahoo, these results are ranked based on how relevant they are to your query.

A search engine evaluator will be presented with various web pages and have to rate them according to their relevance and usefulness. They do this through a simple questionnaire where they rate the page against criteria chosen by the company running the test (such as how trustworthy it looks, or how much useful information it contains).

It is important to note that there are different types of tests and not all companies offer paid assignments - many people who take part in these tests do so because they want their voices heard or want some extra cash! Depending on where you live, you may also be able to get paid for your work if applicable laws allow it (which varies depending on location).

Web developer

If you are a web developer, you can make money in two ways:

  • by learning how to code and doing it yourself
  • by teaching others how to code and helping them build their own websites

In both cases, there's no need to leave home. You can work from anywhere that has an internet connection. And since demand for web developers is so high right now, you'll likely find clients quickly.
