\"Work<\/p>\n

Think you need a brick-and-mortar storefront to run a successful business? The truth is stay-at-home jobs these days are starting to climb in number.<\/p>\n

That’s because you can start an online business from the comfort of your own home, and build a nice salary\u00a0and future for yourself.<\/p>\n

Some of our online business suggestions require a good understanding of computer programming or other technical skills.<\/p>\n

Other jobs can capitalize on your understanding of the written language, SEO practices<\/a>, arts and crafts, and various other skills you have picked up over the years.<\/p>\n

The big difference in our list of online jobs is that you are working for yourself, not taking a full-time job for a third-party while working from home.<\/p>\n

Here are 15 online businesses you can start on your own and operate from home.<\/strong><\/p>\n

SEO consultant<\/h2>\n

\"SEO<\/p>\n

As more business come online, website owners need experts who can show them the ins and outs of search engine optimization. The good news about this business is that many white papers, online guides, e-books, and print books are available regarding proper SEO practices.<\/p>\n

You will need to establish yourself as an SEO expert to land clients. We suggest starting a website where you regularly write about current SEO practices, changes in the industry, and your own thoughts on proper optimization.
\n<\/p>\n

Business coaching<\/h2>\n

\"Business<\/p>\n

As a former executive\u00a0I have personally coached numerous business owners on how to run day-to-day operations at their companies, how to connect better with their employees, and how to interact with clients and potential clients during the sales and negotiations cycles. Business coaching can range from better day-to-day management to helping owners understand the inefficiencies in their business.
\n<\/p>\n

Specialized retailer<\/h2>\n

\"Specialized<\/p>\n

You’re probably not going to beat Amazon at its own game, but you can create a niche-based specialized retailer. Perhaps you sell products that were handmade in Guatemala. Maybe your niche products are created by non-for-profits with a certain amount of your profit going to those groups. The key to this business is finding something people want that isn’t necessarily being offered by the mainstream.
\n<\/p>\n

Social media consultant<\/h2>\n

\"Social<\/p>\n

Are you a Twitter whiz? Have you mastered Facebook posting? A social media consultant can help businesses in various ways. You may start by posting daily messages for your clients, and then graduate to working with a budget that allows for Facebook, Twitter, and other social media ads.<\/p>\n

Some Social Media Consultants step in for a short period of time to train employees on proper social media use.<\/p>\n

If you want to be taken seriously, It’s recommended that you first build up your personal social profiles to showcase your social media know-how.
\n<\/p>\n

Web design<\/h2>\n

\"Web<\/p>\n

If you have an excellent understanding of HTML, CSS, and PHP, you are already on your way to building WordPress websites for clients. I have personally paid between $500 and $10,000 to have websites of different calibers created for my personal projects.<\/p>\n

Some web design is as simple as building PSD files that can be later converted into web platforms, while other design jobs are more hands-on with actual coding.<\/p>\n

This is a great job because you get to put your artistic and programmatic skills to the test.
\n<\/p>\n

Resume\/cover letter writing<\/h2>\n

\"Resume<\/p>\n

Writing resumes is not easy. As a former member of the C-suite, I have personally hired resume experts to create a top-notch resume for my job search needs.<\/p>\n

A resume and cover letter expert understands what companies are looking for in terms of a top-notch resume.<\/p>\n

There are thousands of guides online that can show you how to create amazing resumes. Study those guides, build a website for your services, and start marketing yourself on social media.
\n<\/p>\n

Professional freelancer<\/h2>\n

\"Professional<\/p>\n

Professional freelancers are business minded people who can take on a variety of tasks. One day you might be writing communications guides for a business<\/a>, the next you could be filing away customer data in a database. A professional freelancer is a business-minded person who understands how to adapt to various tasks.<\/p>\n

For this type of work you should be confident in your ability to learn on the fly, and apply what you learn as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n

Pick up “per job” pay and you could earn an amazing living by finishing jobs quickly and accurately.<\/p>\n

We have seen freelancers earn more than $100,000 per year by utilizing their business skills for various clients.
\n<\/p>\n

Affiliate marketing<\/h2>\n

\"Affiliate<\/p>\n

Let’s get one thing straight, guys like Shoe Money and John Chow will try to convince you that earning money online through affiliate marketing is simple. It’s not. You have to develop an audience on social media and your personal website, you have to drive people to want to buy the products you are featuring, and you have to constantly be on the lookup for the “next big thing.”<\/p>\n

For this market we suggest finding a niche that you really understand, and then building amazing pieces of content around that segment. If you find an under-exposed niche you can make a ton of money.
\n<\/p>\n

Health\/nutrition coach<\/h2>\n

\"Health<\/p>\n

According to the Centers for Disease Control nearly 70% of the adult population is overweight or obese, and many people say they want to lose weight and eat better.<\/p>\n

You don’t have to be a dietician to help people enjoy a healthy lifestyle.<\/p>\n

Start with a blog where you show healthy recipes and explain why they are good for people. You can create daily food plans for potential clients, and then tell your readers that you offer services such as a personalized weekly food plan and other health tips.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

eBook author<\/h2>\n

Here’s a little known part of the e-book industry. There are authors who have literally created hundreds of $0.99 e-books that they sell on Amazon. They are not moving 10,000 copies of each book every month, but even if they sell 5,000 copies of 500 books every month, you can earn a good living.<\/p>\n

If you become respected in a certain industry, a single e-book published every month can also earn you a ton of money.<\/p>\n

Some eBook authors are ghostwriters who are paid anywhere from $100 to $10,000 to write eBooks. If you don’t want to take your chance on Amazon, why not get paid to write top-notch books for other people.
\n<\/p>\n

Remote technical support<\/h2>\n

\"Remote<\/p>\n

Were you aware that many companies are looking for technical support on an “as needed” basis? You could land many jobs helping companies monitor their servers, update employee devices remotely, and even troubleshoot computer, phone, and table issues. You’ll need a strong technical background but even 5-10 clients at $1,000 per month is an amazing salary.<\/p>\n

Virtual consignment store<\/h2>\n

\"Virtual<\/p>\n

Have people send you there clothes and then share in the profits! Consignment stores are becoming popular because they are easy to setup, offer a niche product, and can be managed relatively easy with Google Checkout, Paypal, and online card processing services. I suggest finding a clothing or product niche you are really passionate about and then setting up a niche consignment shop.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Handmade craft seller<\/h2>\n

\"Handmade<\/p>\n

Etfy, ArtFire, and other services are offering handmade items that customers can’t get enough of. If you are great at designing clothing, accessories, and other handmade items you can make a killing with handmade goods sold online.
\n<\/p>\n

Teaching online courses<\/h2>\n

\"Teaching<\/p>\n

Why not become an online teacher. I have a friend who makes $75 per hour teaching SEO to business owners over Skype. Another friend is a life coach who charges $50 per hour for online help. You can offer one-on-one classes or host paid webinars in a classroom type setting.
\n<\/p>\n

App development<\/h2>\n

\"App<\/p>\n

Mobile apps rule the digital universe and with programming skills you can charge upwards of $100 to $150 per hour to build mobile apps for e-commerce companies, website owners, and other companies that are looking for a better mobile presdence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
