2 years ago (as of this writing) my household encountered financial difficulties.
I was a young stay-at-home mom of two at the time and the prospect of being able to work from home came to me.
I searched the internet for “how to work from home” …
And there, in just a few minutes, I realized that it was going to be very complicated…
I found a whole bunch of ads on websites for paid surveys, pet sitting, poorly paid direct mail jobs, or home mail stuffing (the products were to be picked up in France, while I lived in Morocco).
Ouch.
I didn’t really see how my family and I could cope until my mother suggested that I start working from home .
Bingo. That was THE solution.
Here I am, back in my search for a job to pay the bills… And at that time, I was far from suspecting that I would find not just a simple home-based job thanks to the internet , but actually:
a way to not “work” because I love what I do
to earn a comfortable income (and not just a supplement to income)
to have fun in what I do by helping lots of women who, like me, do not want to deny their convictions and their values for a job
Do you want to find a job at home ? Know the best activities on the web ?
But don’t have a clear idea of what you could do…
Follow the leader !
#1 Make money as a community manager
First idea for a home business : community management.
I don’t know of any training in community management, but you will find a lot of free resources on the tools by searching on Youtube, Google or on blogs.
But the best solution in my opinion is to train yourself to learn how to master social networks . You can also choose to specialize in order to train yourself on only one network. This is just as effective as wanting to learn everything, because you will quickly become an expert on the social network that you have chosen.
At the same time as you train, you experiment at the same time on your own account. And when you start to have results, you can offer your services .
Deborah, the community manager I hired for my Pinterest account, also started by training.
Following her great results (one million visits on Pinterest), she started offering her services and I hired her for that purpose.
She is now an expert in her field and has even created her own training
So I can recommend it to you with my eyes closed .
Deborah also manages my Linkedin account and offers you free training on Linkedin .
As for Instagram, I recommend Virginie’s excellent training .
#2 Teleworking from home: being a web editor
If you have never heard of web writing and you do not know what this activity consists of, I invite you to read this article where I explain what qualities are required to practice this profession , and why.
But to summarize, the job of web editor consists of writing texts that will be published on your clients’ websites.
This is not journalism, because you need to have some web knowledge.
This is why I always recommend that you start by training yourself in web writing and natural referencing (essential knowledge if you want to generate more comfortable income with more comprehensive services to offer to your clients).
Personally, I got into entrepreneurship through freelance web writing, and more specifically by following Lucie’s very comprehensive training .
#3 Work from home as a graphic designer
When you choose to become a graphic designer , you can work on a multitude of projects:
website creation
creation of templates for social networks
design of business cards, flyers and other communication media
logo design etc.
You don’t need to know how to draw to become a graphic designer, or even have a degree .
I know people who have trained themselves on forums, with online tutorials.
They manage to find customers, but they often fall victim to imposter syndrome because they have not received training and tend to undercut their prices.
You can become a graphic designer by training yourself. Just know that it will take longer and it will take you more time to gain the trust of your prospects. But it is not impossible.
And if you want to go faster, you can train online, without leaving home .
I referred people who wanted to train in graphic design to Laure and they were not disappointed.
#4 Work from home as an infopreneur
The job of an infopreneur (or professional blogger ) is to sell information products online. In fact, an infopreneur sells his knowledge, experience and expertise to people who need it.
An infopreneur can sell any type of information product, as long as it addresses an existing problem.
WhatsApp was attacked by hackers who installed ecuador whatsapp number data 5 million spyware on several victims’ smartphones. Developed by the Israeli surveillance technology company NSO Group, WhatsApp has many good and bad things to do, and many hackers come up with it.
By blackmailing many people through these apps, everyone is affected in various ways.
To get started, you can start with a field that you are passionate about and that has economic potential. The low initial investment allows you to start your home business without investing huge sums of money. This would be counterproductive because you are not yet sure that your activity will work (or that it will suit you).
I also created a training course to help women who want to get involved in infopreneurship.
Would you like to get started in infopreneurship, but you don’t have any training ideas?
I am offering you a free course to help you find your profitable training idea
AND CREATE IT FROM A TO Z IN 30 DAYS

#5 Working from home as a coach
Working from home as a coach is one of the solutions available to you.
But I must warn you about the coaching profession…
This profession is fashionable. I even have the impression that everyone is getting into coaching.
However, to coach people , you must (in my opinion) at least have expertise, or clients who get results thanks to you, or have results yourself.
You can’t improvise as a coach when you’ve never done anything for yourself.
Today, I find that everyone calls themselves a coach, and it’s really problematic. That’s why I never called myself a business coach. Because I don’t want to be associated with all these people who do whatever they want.
Personally, I prefer to communicate that I provide strategic support and consulting .
#6 Working from home: other freelance job ideas
Aside from all the examples I’ve just given you, there are other ideas for freelance activities.
A freelancer is an independent worker
In other words, he is both his sale middle east cell phone number list own boss and his own employee.
He decides and he executes.
He usually works from home (or from an office he rents when he feels like seeing people).
When you work as a freelancer , you earn your income by offering services to your clients (like community manager).
Here are some ideas for freelance jobs to do from home:
translator
web designer
web developer
webmaster
marketing consultant
virtual assistant
video/audio editor
To give you an example, I myself started my home business as a freelance web editor 2 years ago.
It is a job with a future because web jobs are developing.
As proof, now that my business has grown, I hire freelancers myself: a graphic designer, an assistant, a web developer who takes care of my site, a community manager and a great editor with whom I co-write my articles (yes, yes, I’m slipping her a nice little note before she integrates this article on my blog .
For example, I recruited my two assistants from among my students in my training courses.
So by following training courses to learn your new profession and showing your seriousness to the trainer, or by building relationships with other students, you can find your first missions and make yourself known.
Although this type of opportunity remains rare, it is an opportunity to meet other entrepreneurs and build a network .
#7 Working for yourself through e-commerce
An e-tailer is a person who sells their physical products as they would in their store, except that the sale is made online.
You can start by selling your products on social media to see if it works well
However, if I had to give you just china phone numbers one piece of advice, it would be to launch yourself on Amazon (which doesn’t stop you from continuing to promote your products on social media).
With Amazon, you can benefit from all of Amazon’s logistics and power to market your products.
On the other hand, you should know that it requires a larger budget to start.
But it is an opportunity that can quickly become very profitable. Especially if you manage to select the most sought-after products. For this aspect, I recommend Julien’s Amazon training .
I hope this little overview has given you some ideas for jobs to do from home.
And don’t forget, if you are motivated, even without knowledge in a field that you like, you can (by training yourself) make a living from your online activity as I have been doing for two years
Training is a great shortcut. That’s why I personally prefer to train by purchasing training courses because I save a lot of time that way… And time is money.
But if you don’t have a budget, don’t panic.
You can teach yourself, it won’t stop you from succeeding.
