Freelancing

Aside from working from home at your own convenient time, you will also have the opportunity to promote your services to millions of potential customers as a freelancer. Upwork and Fiverr are the biggest resources for selling just about any professional service in the world.

If you have extensive experience in a particular field, you might want to consider selling your services through one of these sites.

Professionals in graphic design, accounting, social media marketing, web development or SEO training, Song writing, Virtual assistant, Writing and translation, legal consulting, tutoring etc. make enough cash from these sites to quit their jobs and focus on freelancing.

Fiverr is one of the easiest online platforms to start to sell a wide variety of services and products. There are tons of freelancing sites with some specializing in a particular niche, for example, 99Designs only applies to graphic design.

However, like anything else, the beginning will be difficult. Extensive reviews are required to build your reputation and sourcing work as a beginner in one of these highly-competitive platforms is difficult.

Writing and translation seem to be the most competitive niche but you can find most successful people in your niche and model your profile after theirs.
