83. Data Scientist

A data scientist is someone who is table to clean up a large dump of data using their knowledge. They do this in order to discover solutions and make sense of the data being given to them.

This is probably the most specialized remote job on this list and with that comes huge salaries. Data scientists can get paid upwards of $200,000 per year.

Yeah.

Seriously.

84. Drone Pilot

This may just be the newest job on the list.

Drones are increasing in popularity year-over-year as new uses are found for them almost daily.

With increased demand, comes even more need for drone pilots to handle everything from surveillance to package deliveries.

85. Secret Shopper

While it’s unlikely you’ll be able to find a job that provides you with a full-time income, secret shopping is still a viable way to make money from home.

You will be responsible to evaluate stores and employees alike. Help brands see what their store are doing right and how they handle customer interactions.

86. Mobile Bartender

You can finally put the skills you learned in college to use!

All of those nights you spent mixing drinks instead of studying have paid off!

I kid, I kid.

But seriously, mobile bartenders are needed around the world to help cater to off-site events and companies are regularly hiring to fill positions.

87. Errand Runner

The gig economy isn’t going anywhere any time soon.

As an errand runner, you’ll be helping people complete tasks throughout the day that they otherwise wouldn’t have time to do.

You’ll often find jobs like walking dogs, picking up groceries, or keeping houses clean.

89. Beta Testing

Companies are always looking for beta testers to help try out new products or services.

You’ll be paid to test out both digital and physical products. You’ll be required to write reviews, provide feedback, find bugs or glitches, and to just share your overall thoughts and experiences.

90. Brand Ambassador

Brands are constantly looking for influencers to help spread awareness of their products. If you have an Instagram account, you no doubt have come across ads masquerading as normal every day posts.

Those are brand ambassadors and they’re getting paid to do some stealthy “word-of-mouth” advertising.

With the right niche and a big enough following, you can make some really good money, receive free products, and rise to the top of your social circle.

91. Loan Signing Agent

You can become a loan signing agent and work with mortgage companies to help process loans, all from the comfort of your own home.

Depending on how much you want to work, you can easily do this full-time or part-time to make some extra cash in your spare time.

The requirements are few and there is always a demand.

92. Appointment Setter

Unlike traditional virtual assistant work from home jobs, appointment setters focus on just one area and I’ll give you a guess as to which one that is.

You will be making phone calls on behalf of a company to either get the sales team or a manager on the line with prospective clients.

You will need good conversational skills and somewhat of a thick skin as these are typically cold calls you’ll be making.

93. Book Typing Jobs

All of those Kindle eBooks have to come from somewhere. Did you know that people are regularly hired to transcribe paper documents into digital ones?

94. Online Consulting

If you have expertise in a field and wanted to try your hand at online consulting, look no further than this list of companies hiring consultants.

This is one of the few work from home jobs where you can set your own rates. The more experience you have in a field, the higher your talents will be valued.

95. Online Proctor

Yes, I did a double take too, but these are online PROCTOR jobs, not the other thing you might be thinking.

You’ll be administering tests remotely and making sure no cheating is being conducted. Pay ranges from $9-$25 per hour, which isn’t bad considering the work is fairly straightforward.

Other Work at Home Jobs to Consider

The above list is a massive compilation of all different types of jobs you can do remotely.

But what if you’re looking for something more specific or have certain requirements?

I’ve broken down some more specialized resources for you below.

Finding a Job with Benefits

Many people who plan to transition into a work-from-home career do not pursue this route because of the lack of benefits.  

If this sounds like you, you might want to check the 10 companies offering work-at-home jobs with health insurance. Note that if you go the freelance route with any of these career options listed above, you can always negotiate for benefits (or their equivalent amount) before signing on the dotted line.

Be aware that rates will generally be much lower if you’re not from the United States, UK, or any other first-world countries.

This is because employers usually conduct research on local salary rates before offering home-based jobs to potential hires.

Finding a Work at Home Job as a Mom

Moms have it especially difficult when it comes to landing a real job from home.

It can be hard to balance raising a child and committing full-time to an employer all in the same day.

I’ve broken down two lists that will help.

Here is a full list of work at home jobs that specifically hire moms. These are companies that want remote workers and aren’t afraid of a little background noise.

Next is a list of ideas that moms can do to make money on the side. These are less traditional jobs, but still provide opportunities for income.

Jobs for the Disabled

You would think remote work and disabilities would be a perfect match, but the truth is, it’s hard for disabled people to find real work from home jobs.

I found a list of 15 companies actively hiring disabled workers, plus put together a number of resources that connect the disabled with legit work opportunities.

The Bottom Line

This list of legitimate work-from-home jobs can be the start of your journey to financial freedom and obtain work-life balance you can’t achieve in a 9-to-5 job.

As always, feel free to leave a comment below if you have ANY questions regarding any of these jobs.

I’ll be more than happy to help point you in the right direction!
