I would love to work as a transcriber from home. However, since I am not a native English speaker, I often find it really hard to understand the words spoken by the speaker on the recorded audio. This makes it harder to transcribe. However, since I can do much better transcribing Indian accent, I think I could earn money by transcribing audio in such kind of accent. The problem is that not many transcribing websites have projects that provide you with transcription files with such kind of accent. So making money by transcribing audio is not on my list of online money making opportunities.

I have written articles for a few clients and I got paid for my work, but the pay rates were not at all high. I mainly focus on trading and paid to post sites to make money. I will also be planning to invest in many online investment sites. I do not really like data entry jobs because they are quite tiresome and most of them scam people. I was being offered an offline data entry job in my city and they were asking me to pay before joining. It was a scam and I think any kind of online or offline job that requires you to pay money before you actually join is a scam.

Being a content writer is one of the online jobs that I desire the most. This is because I am really passionate about writing. The good thing about content writing is that you can either offer it as a service to others or do it as a self employment. As a self employment, you can build your own blog and post content there. You can also create ebooks and sell them online through sites like Amazon and advertise them in social media sites.

Another earn from home method that I like alot is tutoring, though I have never gotten such jobs. I love it because I love sharing information with people alot. I love teaching other people and tutoring other people would be a great opportunity.

Some of those earn from home jobs that you have mentioned require one to be a professional. For example those medical jobs like online nursing and a doctor consultant may require you to post your credentials before being hired. So if you are a professional in any area, you should search online and maybe you may find a job in it. Even some freelancing platforms require you to post your certificates so as to get accepted by them.

When it comes to working from home, my senses will always take me to the online method of earning as that is one of the characteristics as well as an advantage of online businesses. Virtually all online businesses can be operated from home as you don't need a physical contact in other to go on with make a business deal.
So anyone could possibly try out offering freelancing services or going into affiliate marketing, forex trading, cryptocurrency investment and trade and the rest of it. But the aforementioned actually need to to develop your skill in anyone you find interesting to go into.
Whenever someone wants to work from home and earn money, they all should come online.

There are several profitable things you can do sitting at the comfort of your home and make some good amount of money. Over the years, there are many online businesses that are coming out and people are venturing into these businesses even with the high amount of competition on it. The truth is that if you don't have proper knowledge about a particular online business you will definitely not succeed on it because competition is very high and the only people that are smart and have proper knowledge about the business that will succeed on it. One of the best businesses I could recommend for anyone is freelancing like you have stated. Freelancing is good in the sense that if you have any digital skill like transcription or web designing then you can definitely make a whole lot of money offering such services to people around the world. There is no doubt that freelancing is very competitive but there are some skills you need to make a whole lot of money on it. Like I always advise people to have copy writing skill in order to scale through. Affiliate marketing is also another good venture in which you can make a whole lot of money from.

Social media marketing is my best, yeap, its completely easy, (well don't mind that word, the social media marketing is easy in general but the social media aspect of it isn't easy)

When I say the social media aspect of it I mean the growing of your social media platform followers, that is the hassle.

The thing is that people think it's a hassle, where as in truth it's actually not, all you have to do is change your mindset from I have to grow my following and make money, to I'm just going to start posting everyday and doing what I have to, in other to help people and see what happens.. and believe me, I've heard and seen the stories, things will happen

 

[Hennie]

From my personal experience, I can say that freelancing platforms like Upwork and Fiverr can be great places to start. You can offer your skills and services, whether it's writing, graphic design, programming, or something else entirely.
Another option is remote customer service jobs, where you assist customers over the phone or through chat support. Companies like Amazon and Apple often hire remote customer service representatives.
