We’re going to look at 10 work from home jobs that could legitimately bring you a minimum of $1,000 a month should you put the effort in.

ONLINE TUTORING

If you like teaching in a one-on-one setting and using technology for education, online tutoring has the potential to make extra income outside of your teaching or in-person job. There is also an opportunity for tutoring online to become a full-time job if you’re able to expand your tutoring business to the point where you have enough students to fill a full-time schedule.

Parents will spend lots of money to help their kids succeed in school, after school activities and sports. Tutoring is a highly popular and sought after and a great way to make a nice chunk of extra money each month.

As long as you know more about a subject than the average person, most specifically the children and teens you’ll be teaching, and are good at explaining things, you can be a tutor. Some parents may want you to have certain teaching certificates or grades but if you can adequately and professionally do the job parents are willing to part with their cash to help their child along.

Online tutors can earn between $10-$35 per hour.

HOME CUSTOMER SERVICE

Though many have ditched the landlines these days, if you have a home phone, computer and internet, answering customer service calls may be for you. Lots of big and reputable companies hire at-home workers to handle customer service calls due to the explosive growth of the Internet and communication apps.

Pay can be anything from $9-$18 per hour.

Freelance writing is a sustainable way to make extra money online as websites constantly need written content, including blog posts, video scripts, website copy, and more.
