Recruiter.
Due to a shortage of skilled staff, companies are willing to pay someone to help them find workers to fill positions. You can be a freelance recruiter and the work can be done remotely. The recruiter evaluates people’s qualifications, experience, and negotiate salaries. You post ads, send letters, and scour the internet job boards looking for people qualified to fill positions. As you find them, you get paid a fee for filling the positions. Indeed.com and FlexJobs.com are among many other websites that offer freelancing jobs and have listings for recruiters working for companies all over the world.
Work for Customer Support.
These jobs are very flexible in hours and you can typically work from anywhere. You help answer questions and hear complaints from customers as a representative for a company. WeWorkRemotely.com, Support Driven, and Virtual Vocations are all websites you can browse to find part time, full time, or flexible job hours doing customer support. If you prefer sales to customers, try RedHat, SalesForce.com, or SkipTheDrive.com.
My cousin Veronica works as a customer service representative for a cruise line. When folks have issues or questions about their cruise, they call the 800 number, and the call is routed to her headpiece. She answers calls and questions from customers during her work hours from home. This allows her to be available to her kids when they need her and to complete her housework.
Become a Freelance Photographer, Film, or Video Editor.
Another extremely flexible gig that allows you to hang out at parties and other events is photography or videographer. Most of the freelance sites mentioned have photographer work, but here are some extra specialized sites; JournalismJobs.com, CruiseShipJobs.com, Creativejobscentral.com, Photography Jobs Finder, and Photography-Jobs.net. Video editing is also in high demand with indie films and YouTubers becoming popular. The best sites to find freelancing jobs about video editing is Mandy, Stage 32, Assemble, and Production Hub.
Become a Virtual Assistant.
Virtual assistants are like secretaries or executive assistants; they help you complete office work. Some of the best sites to work as a virtual assistant and to find one to help you manage your workload once you become successful are Upwork, BELAY Solutions, Worldwide101, Clickworker, VAnetworking.com, Assistant Match, Fancy Hands, and Zirtual.com. Virtual assistance gives you a great deal of flexibility. They allow you to scale up your business to handle extra work when needed; and if things slow down, it allows you to easily scale down till you need the extra work again.
Work as an Online Juror.
By joining the website eJury.com, you can get paid to participate in mock jury trials online to help attorneys practice their court skills. This experience would also help you if you're trying to decide whether or not to become an attorney. Seeing what a trial is like, could be a good preview and would be a good experience in case you ever have to go to court on your cases.
Take advantage of these freelancing jobs to boost your income and have more freedom.
