If you’ve ever thought, “I just want to make money from home, but I only have to work nights,” you’re not alone. But here’s the problem: Most of the work-from-home advice you’ll find on YouTube involves tasks that require daytime hours, like client calls, Zoom meetings, or scheduling office hours, which aren’t possible for many people.
Combine work and motherhood at night
When I first started online, I was pregnant for approx. 8th month and had an almost 2-year-old at home. Realistically, the only solid working hours I had were at night. So, in this article, I’m sharing 20 real work-from-home jobs you can do entirely at night. Let’s get started.
Why Typical Online Jobs Don’t Work for Me
This article is different from many others out there. Most work-from-home articles talk about gigs paying $8 to $15 an hour doing side hustles for other companies.This was not viable for me because I would be exhausted at the end of the day and such a low salary was not worth it when I knew I could earn more.
side hustle that doesn’t pay off
I tried many things like reselling jeans in thrift stores or textbooks, but none made much money until I discovered online services.
Discovering the Value of Online Services
Small business owners pay real money—$30, $40, $60, even up to $100 an hour—for services you can offer at night or on weekends. These 20 remote jobs are all services you can provide to small business owners.
How To Package and Sell Your Services
I will describe all these services in detail. If you stick around to the end, I’ll also share how to package and sell these services to small business owners.
Three Buckets of Services to Offer
Services fall into three categories: administrative, creative and specialized.Let me start with administrative services.
Building Your Virtual Assistant Package
For administrative services, you might offer a mix of tasks together or pick your favorites and bundle them into a general virtual assistant package.
Example of a Monthly Service Package
For example, you can sell packages of 20, 40 or 80 hours a month for around $30 an hour.If the customer assumes 12 months × $300, a $300 per month package can add up to $3,600 per year.
Increase revenue with repeat customers
Just 2.5 hours per week can provide a solid income. If you work 10, 20 or 40 hours a week or build a team, you can earn $10,000 per month or even a six or seven figure annual income.
Growing into a six-figure business
Many students have grown their service businesses to six-figure incomes by scaling like this.
The Flexibility and Growth of Virtual Assistance
Virtual assistant services can start as a small side income and grow into a much bigger business.
