You don’t have to be your own boss or create your own product/service to work from home or work remotely! There are lots of companies looking to hire remotely and yet it can be hard to find remote jobs. If you are searching for “work-from-home jobs” online, you are bound to stumble across some sleezy websites and companies.

This site is the first I recommend to friends looking to find remote jobs. Why? Because it is a scam-free, clean list of *real* companies looking to hire. This site has a nice filter for full-time, part-time, and contract work so you don’t waste any time.

Online Business Manager
This is a new-ish career as more and more entrepreneurs start their own online businesses. An Online Business Manager (which is what I do in my full-time job, by the way) is another term for Operations Manager or COO.
If you are good at the behind-the-scenes stuff and don’t enjoy being the face everyone sees or associates with a brand – this could be for you. Online Business Managers (OBMs) are SO needed. Creative folks start businesses but don’t know how to organize a project, manage a team (full-time or freelancers) effectively, and can struggle to see an idea or project all the way through to completion.
In my day-to-day, I oversee our team of full-time employees and freelancers to ensure that we hit our KPIs (key performance indicators) and goals. My days involve project management, planning, some HR, some accounting, and overseeing/managing all of the software that we use. Basically, if something doesn’t go according to plan, it’s my responsibility to identify that problem and fix it. I love it! Every day is different and for someone who enjoys problem-solving – it’s a dream. The owner of the business comes up with BIG dreams and goals – and I figure out and when we can do it, what resources we need, and if that potential project makes sense for the business.
I recently stumbled across the Prowess Project, which is an online course that teaches individuals how to become and Online Business Manager AND matches them to an entrepreneur! This is not something you see often in these types of training! Interested in learning more? Check them out –> ProwessProject.com

Copywriter
Are you great with words? Have you been told by others you’re a great writer? Then copywriting might just be for you.
Many people think that this means writing blog posts and long-form content – but that’s not what copywriting is. Copywriting is persuasive marketing writing designed to sell. “Copy” refers to the words that make up the writing.
Like many of the remote career options I recommend, there is some great training available to become a copywriter. The Comprehensive Copywriting Academy is an online course that teaches how to do copywriting and then how to get a job as a copywriter. Check out their free webinar to learn more about copywriting and the online course.
