Part Time Work From Home Ideas

If you’re a student, a work at home mom, unemployed, retired, or simply looking for a way to make extra money, have you considered looking into working from home part time? There are a number of part time home-based jobs that you can easily fit into your busy lifestyle.

The following are some part time work from home ideas you can consider.

Online auctions - Do you have any items in your home that you don’t want or need? Have you ever thought about selling these items over the internet at online auction sites such as eBay? You’d be surprised at the amount of money you can make if you have a popular item you think others would be interested in buying. For instance, children’s clothing (especially baby and toddler clothing) sell very well.

Essentially, the way it works is you register on the online site, pay a tiny fee to post the item you are selling, set a starting bid and let the auction take place. Once the auction time is up, you contact the last person to make a bid, sell them the item for the final bid price and send it to them. It’s that simple.

Tutoring - If you are particularly skilled or talented in a particular field such as -

  • Art form - dance, piano, painting/illustration, etc.
  • Craft - knitting, flower arrangement, sewing, cooking etc.
  • Academic field - English, math, science, etc.
  • Fitness trainer - yoga, pilates, tai chi, etc.

You can provide your services to others by offering online tutoring or teaching private lessons from your home.

Photography - If you’re pretty good with a camera, and you enjoy taking pictures, you may want to consider doing it professionally. However, keep in mind that photography can be an expensive business to get into due to the different types of equipment you will need to get the job done. That being said, photographers are in high demand as people constantly want pictures taken for weddings, family portraits, headshots, sport team photos, etc.

Freelance writing - Plenty of business need a skilled writer to provide the web content for their websites, write articles or e-books, business documents, edit or translate work, and so on. As a freelance writer you can pick and choose the projects you want to get involved in without overwhelming yourself. The same can be said for the many other types of freelancing jobs including - accounting, administration, web design, illustrator, etc.

Additional part time jobs -

  • Internet researcher
  • Catering
  • Cake decorator
  • Florist
  • Daycare
  • Scrap booking

Just remember to investigate and learn about the part time work from home ideas that interest you before you start them. For instance, if you decide to get involved in a business that would require people to come to your home, find out if there are any zoning laws that apply to you.

Finally, make sure you engage in a part-time job you enjoy and won’t take up too much of your time.
