Freelance Writer

From approaching new business to applying to social media companies, landing a social media gig shouldn’t be hard since the entire country now believes in the power of the interwebz (thanks to millennials and Gen Z). Oh, and you can do it whilst having quality time with your kid(s).
Virtual Assistant
We live in a world where people order transportation via Uber, food via Otlob, and sometimes even companionship via Tinder; so why the hell not can’t virtual assistants exist?

All you have to do is reach out to individuals who might seem like they need a virtual assistant and wait for a reply. You might be surprised…
Tutor

Proofreader
Proofreaders are typically highly detail-oriented and can find even the smallest of errors. As a remote proofreader, you’ll ensure consistency, check formatting, confirm facts, check grammar and more. Reach out to PR and marketing agencies or online publications because, again, they will appreciate that skill.
