10+ Work From Home Opportunities


Become a Search Engine Evaluator

Working from home as a Search Engine/Social Media Evaluator is my favourite side hustle! The projects vary but usually involve you (an independent contractor) rating the ads you see online for £10+ an hour!

I do this through Appen and have earned over £1000 in a given month! It’s worth checking to see if they have any current vacancies and remember to apply for any project that pops up! Read more about Appen…


Remote Research Projects

Respondent offer a range of work from home research projects that you can complete using your webcam, telephone or laptop. The projects vary so you do need to check the website regularly to see if you qualify for any new projects. I’ve earned £50 for a quick chat in a chatroom with one of their research projects before. More info on Market Research…


Sell Online

Selling your unwanted items online can be a great way to earn a little extra cash, but if you want to turn your decluttering hobby into a reselling business you will need to consider the tax implications.

There are tons of ‘re-sellers’ earning a living by visiting their local charity shops and carboot sales, buying bargains and selling them online with eBay and Amazon. Find out more about selling online…


Earn with Referral Programmes

If you run a blog, consider yourself to be an influencer, or just have a good sales talk, you could be benefiting my promoting products and services. Referral programmes are great for earning some extra ££’s promoting brands, services and products that you enjoy.

Some of my favourite refer a friend options include my energy supplier (that offers £50 for each friend I refer), my online bank (that offers me £5 cash for each friend I get to sign up), and a survey site (I get 10% commission on my referred friends earnings). Earn with referral programmes…


Money Making Smartphone Apps

Some apps pay out more than others so it’s worth looking into what apps will work best for you and your circumstances. I use these apps to earn money in from of the TV, on my daily commute and in my dinner-break.

VoxPopMe (a video survey app) is one of my favourite money making apps. There are also mystery shopping apps, survey apps, receipt apps and more!


Earn Money with Surveys

Completing surveys from the comfort of your own home isn’t likely to enable you to quit your job. But it is great if you’re just looking to earn a few extra ££’s in your spare time or on your dinner break. Survey’s can also be a great opportunity for teens to earn money online.

In my experience Prolific is the best paying survey site but survey qualification is often based on your demographics so you may have more luck with a different site! See my list of the best survey websites.


English Language Tasks

You can earn money by completing English Language tasks through remote working website Remotasks. Most tasks can be done at a time to suit you and your earning potential increases as you quality to complete new tasks.


Get paid to complete offers

I made £50 within my first hour of signing up to OhMyDosh! OhMyDosh! is a money making website where you can earn dosh for completing a variety of offers. It’s a free to use website, is a legitimate way to earn some extra cash.

Earning money with OhMyDosh is really simple. You will earn 50p straightaway for signing up, and another 50p for confirming your email. Once you’ve completed the sign up process you will be able to see all the offers available including surveys, free trials, competitions and more.

If you’re familiar with OhMyDosh, cashback.co.uk has the same types of offers but pays you once you’ve completed 20 tasks.


Blogging

Starting your own blog is a great way to express yourself online and could give you the opportunity to make money from home. Every week I come across more and more bloggers that are quitting their 9-5 jobs and are making a living from blogging.

The most common opportunities for new bloggers to make money are through sponsored posts, paid advertising, affiliate marketing, freelance writing and product reviews. Creating your own blog is worth considering if you have some free time and want to work from home. I make over £10,000 a year from blogging.


Freelance Writing

Freelance writing is essentially writing content on a self-employed basis. Freelance writers typically work on a project-by-project basis, and may write for a variety of clients in different industries. As a freelance writer, you should expect to create a range of content, such as blog posts, articles, whitepapers, case studies, social media posts, product descriptions, and more.

One of the benefits of freelance writing is that you have more control over your schedule and workload, and you can often work from anywhere with an internet connection.


Matched Betting

This is a great option for earning extra money if you have some free time. Matched betting is where you claim the sign up incentives that many gambling sites offer by placing multiple bets that cover every outcome. For example a common offer is bet £10 get a £20 free bet, you can use the odds in your favour to cash out the majority of your free bet. Find out more about matched betting here…

Dropshipping

Dropshipping is a retail fulfillment method where you don’t physically keep the products you sell. Instead, when you sell a product, you buy the item from a third-party supplier who then ships the item directly to the customer.

When uploading the items on Amazon or eBay it takes time especially when you have a lot of items. You may use KalDrop instead for faster listing. KalDrop is a Non API eBay lister that integrates with your chrome browser to help you upload any item of your choice from a third-party e-commerce platform and list it on your eBay seller account.

The only downfall to dropshipping is the time involved in finding profitable products to sell, listing them and the customer service that goes along with that, otherwise this is a great money maker. You can also try becoming a freight broker. You can check out how to get a freight broker license for starters.


Flip Websites

Imagine if you could buy a website and sell it a year later for profit. This process is known as “website flipping”, where you buy a website that you deem to have potential, then improve it and sell it for a profit.

Flipping websites is incredibly profitable if you know about SEO (or are willing to learn about SEO). The best approach is to find an undervalued site that has high traffic/ poor monetization, or good monetization/bad SEO practices. Here are some helpful pointers to help you flip websites online.


Ask your boss to allow you to work from home

The number of companies agreeing to part- or full-time work-from-home arrangements for their employees is increasing. So if you want to work from home, and you have a good reason, don’t be afraid to ask.

Not all positions are suited to working from home, and it’s important to know that before you begin. But so many of us do work that can be completed from any location with an internet connection.

Firstly formulate a proposal — for your boss to take the arrangement seriously. Then, outline the benefits of your proposed arrangement. Show at least three ways that working from home will make you a better employee and a better asset to the company. If your boss is still unsure about remote work, is to suggest that you work from home on a trial basis.


Apply for a new work from home job

More and more workplaces are now embracing home working as the norm. If your current employer doesn’t offer you the opportunity to work from home you could apply for a role that does.

Most job sites now include an option to look for specific work from home employment opportunities. Once you find remote work, it’s worth looking at how you can maximise the financial benefits from your new working situation.
