7 jobs that will let you work from home
On any given day while scrolling through a military spouse Facebook group, you're bound to see a question similar to, 'Anyone know any legitimate ways to make money from home?' It's usually followed by several comments, people looking for the same, people who are working remotely, and direct sales consultants.
As someone who's worked from home since 2013, I know a thing or ten about how to make money from home. Technology has advanced in a way that's opened many work-from-home opportunities. It's easier than ever to make extra money whether you only want to cover the extras like nails and fancy coffees, or if you want to have a fully portable business. Here are 7 real ways that you can make real money from home.
1. Virtual Assistant Business
If you have general administration skills, there are literally tons of online entrepreneurs looking for your help. Have a niche? Even better! Quite a bit of business owners in the digital space are often one man-or-woman shows and overwhelmed. If you can help alleviate some of their workloads by keeping their email and calendar managed, you'll be worth your weight in gold (or Benjamin!).
If you're tech-savvy, a great copywriter, good with social media, a graphic designer— these highly coveted skills could help you launch a lucrative virtual services business.
Many of the largest companies and brands hire remote support for reservations, bookings, etc. Companies like Hilton, Walt Disney World, and more often have positions for remote call workers. With these positions often, the shifts may be flexible and you'll need a dedicated office space with absolutely no noise in the background.

3. Direct Sales
Direct Sales, Multi-Level Marketing, and Network Marketing get quite a bad rap. That reputation is almost always aimed at the sales tactics of individuals. However, when done ethically and with integrity, direct sales is a legitimate way to earn income. While it may not be everyone's cup of tea (and honestly, what is?), the key is to do your research. Make smart financial choices that ensure you are making a profit while staying true to your personal values.

. 4. Freelance Writer

Fancy yourself a pretty good writer? Couple that with an interest in trending topics and an affinity for giving your opinion (or research, if you're more of a technical writer) and a future as a freelance writer could be for you.
Pricing in the freelance field is one of those topics that widely range depending on your own experience and the outlet's budget. The information on how to pitch content is usually easily found on an organization's website.
5. Blogger/Influencer
Becoming a blogger and/or influencer is vastly different from being a freelance writer. Ask any blogger, and they'll tell you that it's good-but-hard work to have a blog. Bloggers build an engaged community that interacts and is influenced by their own personal preferences.
This is to the advantage of companies that have customers identical to the blogger's audience. It means that a company could put its products in the hands of someone who talks directly to its target audience and has already gained their trust. This creates a mutually beneficial relationship that brands will pay for. After all, it is marketing.
But successful bloggers do not happen overnight. It is an investment of time, energy, and possibly even money before you'll see the payoff. That's why it's essential to choose a blog topic that you're passionate about
6. Pet Services
A lot of people have pets, and a lot of pet owners work and/or are busy. Pet walking, sitting, and grooming are all viable business services that you can meet if you are a pet lover. Offering these services during your availability could be an easy way to make additional cash. With the transient military lifestyle and word of mouth, you could quickly become a pet services provider that's highly recommended in your area.
7. ESL Teacher
One of the new trends for at-home work is to teach English to kids in foreign countries- especially China. Like the remote call center guidelines, there are some stipulations. You may need certain degrees, a quiet space, work nontraditional hours due to time zone differences. But, if you meet the qualifications, it could be an excellent way to have an extra income while working from home.
These are our favorite ways to make money from home, all legitimate, and have proven to be successful for many military spouses. Do you make money from home doing something that wasn't listed here? Tell us in the comments
