Work-from-home opportunities abound in your job search, whether it's working remotely for a company or starting your own. Here are 50 home-based job opportunities, many of which can earn more than the average American salary.
1. Affiliate Marketer:
Affiliate marketing, for those who are unfamiliar, is simply referral marketing in which you earn a commission. Assume you have a website and want to suggest a book on Amazon. If a visitor clicks on the affiliate link and purchases the book, Amazon will pay you a percentage of the sale. People enjoy affiliate marketing because it allows them to begin earning money passively with low startup costs.
2. Animator:
Are you an artistic and creative person capable of producing animation and visual effects for television, movies, video games, and other forms of media? Then you can work as a freelance animator from home. (Personally, I've seen animators make between $25 to $106 an hour on sites like Up work, Fiverr, Peopleperhour, freelancer.)
3. Baker/Chef/Caterer:
Turn your hobby into a side business if you have a talent for cooking. You could start a catering business or work as a personal chef from your own kitchen. If you're a baker, you could sell your products to friends and neighbors, online, or at farmer's markets.
4. Blogger:
Blogging is inexpensive and simple to begin. It could be as simple as writing about your favorite music or food, and your site could eventually earn you money. Just keep in mind that when it comes to making money from your blog, you must be patient. If this is something you're interested in, check out this guide.
5. Bookkeeper :
Whether you trust it or not, you don't have to be a CPA to start bookkeeping. Simply enroll in a bookkeeping course at a community college or even online (such as this course from The Accounting Coach).

The five types of e-commerce business models are drop shipping, wholesaling, manufacturing, white labeling, and subscriptions. You can quickly launch your own ecommerce store with sites like Shopify, Magento, and Woo Commerce.
