Remote job opportunities may be decreasing, but there are numerous side hustles available that can help you earn extra money from the comfort of your home, with some paying up to $100 an hour. FlexJobs, a prominent platform for remote and hybrid work opportunities, reported a 28% increase in the number of remote part-time job listings on its site in the last year.
Their recent research has identified 25 popular side hustles that offer remote, part-time opportunities and can be done from home. Most of the jobs on their list require a commitment of 10-20 hours per week, with salaries varying from role to role. Some of the sought-after side hustles include writer, project manager, interpreter, editor, graphic designer, bookkeeper, virtual assistant, social media manager, search engine evaluator, and executive assistant.
The widespread adoption of remote working has also created more opportunities for people with a variety of skills, including those in finance, government, and health care. If you are interested in starting a remote side hustle, FlexJobs recommends focusing on monetizing your creativity by offering writing, editing, or design services, as these are the most in-demand remote part-time roles currently. While some side hustles are more flexible than others, it is important to assess the amount of time you can realistically commit to a project to avoid exhaustion. Always be wary of red flags, such as reluctance to sign a contract or ambiguous communication, before committing to a job.
