All the Best Work from Home Jobs for Boys

There are plenty of online jobs for men out there if you know where to look! To help you find the best work from home jobs for boys, we’ve collected a list of what we think are the top 10 best options in 2018. Whether you’re looking to find employment quickly or interested in starting your own side hustle, this list has something that should pique your interest!

Business operations

There are a few major questions to answer before you get started. Will you be selling a product or service? Do you have your own products or services, or will you resell other companies’ goods and services? Most work-from-home jobs require a certain amount of skill. For example, if you’re planning on becoming a health care provider, then you'll need appropriate certifications as part of your licensing process. You can learn all about starting and running your own business with StartUpNation's guide on entrepreneurship . If entrepreneurship isn't your thing, take some time to explore different options available to those looking for work at home jobs. You might decide that working as an agent is right for you.

Customer service

Answering emails, live chats, and phone calls. If you have experience in tech support or a relevant field, then working as a customer service agent could be a good fit. Depending on what you're willing to take on (and how flexible your schedule is), you can make anywhere between $10-$40 an hour as a customer service agent. On average, work-from-home customer service agents make between $12-$18 an hour.

Sales/ Marketing/ Biz Dev

Make a lot of money fast? Working as a sales rep, freelance marketing expert or business development agent can be quite lucrative. Though it does require time and effort to get started, once you have an established client base you’ll find it very hard to stop working (due to your large paycheck). These types of positions are better suited for people that are highly confident and willing to put in a lot of hard work. If you’re okay with working 40+ hours per week and don’t need/want vacation time, you might consider one of these positions. Just remember that in some cases (depending on your area) college may be required!

Tech support

As far as work-from-home jobs go, tech support is one of those that doesn’t necessarily require a high school diploma. You just need to be pretty decent with computers and smart enough to troubleshoot when something goes wrong. Most companies who hire for tech support positions do a basic technical test over the phone, so you can practice with multiple tech companies. It’s always good to have your own computer at home or access to one at home if you want some more practice in IT, but that’s not completely necessary if you get creative and find other people who will let you help them out. There are a lot of online resources that offer virtual computer labs where you can practice on real equipment without any risk to someone else’s system.

Writing

Are you a boy who loves to write? If so, you’re in luck—there are plenty of work-from-home writing jobs that can be done as a side hustle. You can choose to either freelance or become an on-staff writer. In both cases, you get to work on your own schedule and take control of your income potential. Some common fields include blogging, social media management and even technical writing (depending on your skill set). Most positions require experience (or at least a portfolio) in that field—but not always. If you enjoy researching and learning about topics related to what you love (sports, video games, travel etc.), then consider pursuing freelance writing as a side job!

Teaching (virtual tutoring)

If you love being in front of students and enjoy helping them with their studies, becoming a virtual tutor could be a great option to earn some side income. Tutors are in high demand on sites like VIPKID — which connects tutors to Chinese students looking to improve their English skills — as well as Udemy, where you can build your own online class and set your own rate. If you have your Master’s degree or PhD (or even an undergrad degree) and especially if you have any sort of teaching experience, joining one of these websites can be a quick way to start making money online. For more details about how each site works and how much tutors make on each site, check out our full reviews: VIPKID review Udemy review .

Photography/Graphic Design/Illustration

Whether you’re just looking to earn a few extra bucks or want to start up your own business, being able to freelance as a photographer, graphic designer or illustrator is invaluable. Not only will you be able to take control of your own schedule and get paid well for what you love doing, but having these skills will give you an edge in any job hunt. Check out Skillshare or CreativeLive to learn how to hone these skills and build your portfolio in such a way that potential employers can find it (hint: marketing yourself well on social media also helps). And if you really think about it, isn’t $20 an hour worth it for something fun like photography? It sure seems like a dream come true!

Transcriptionist

Becoming a transcriptionist doesn’t require an extensive background in healthcare, but some medical terminology knowledge will certainly help you succeed. However, building a successful business requires more than just decent typing skills. Your clients will want to communicate directly with you, so communication is key. Some companies may require you to take additional courses on medical terminology and transcription (it varies). You might also consider taking a public speaking course to gain skills that would make you comfortable doing online presentations or handling call-in questions. If your employer needs it, you may need certification for all or part of your work at home job—check out Medical Transcription Certification Training through FlexJobs! Realize when working from home that not every job is 9-5; some companies allow flexible schedules.

Data Entry Specialist

Data entry positions are available for boys as young as 10. There are lots of great work-at-home data entry jobs out there, and they’re easy to find. Simply search data entry on any job board or site that lists remote or freelance opportunities. Look through job descriptions, requirements, and companies’ websites to find a good fit—most data entry jobs require little-to-no experience and can be done remotely on your own schedule. Plus, you get paid! Some companies even offer a base salary plus commission if your work is deemed to be exceptional.

Virtual Assistant

If you have a knack for computers and are looking to make some extra cash, doing some work as a virtual assistant may be a great option. Companies like Uber, Capital One, and UHaul hire virtual assistants to help keep their offices organized, provide customer service support, handle data entry and more. You can find part-time or full-time opportunities depending on your availability. In fact, FlexJobs released a study showing that part-time remote jobs are on the rise in terms of popularity. As mentioned above, sometimes you can even get paid to travel! Remote OK currently has 200+ job listings posted online with salaries ranging from $10 - $250 per hour or higher depending on experience.
