3.7 million employees (that is 2.8% of the American workforce) work from home at least 50%<\/a> of the time. The number of jobs that allow people to work from home has grown by 115% since 2005. And that’s not counting people who are self-employed.<\/p>\n

Now more than ever it is possible to make a decent income with at home jobs. Read on for 3 jobs you can do without ever having to change out of your pajamas.<\/p>\n

Virtual Call Centers<\/h2>\n

Many companies are moving toward a remote workforce. That means that there are more and more jobs available to work at virtual call centers.<\/p>\n

All you need is experience working in customer service in either a call center or in a retail store. Bonus if you speak another language! Then you can apply at bilingual call centers and will likely get paid a bit more.<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

You might need to buy a good quality headset with a microphone but sometimes the call center will provide that.<\/p>\n

As long as you have a pleasant attitude and patience with customers that call in, you can work from your couch with your cat curled up beside you. It doesn’t get much better than that!<\/p>\n

Data Entry Online<\/h2>\n

There are thousands of data entry jobs. You don’t need any experience most of the time, though it does help if you are a good and accurate typer.<\/p>\n

Your role would involve inputting words and numbers into the company’s online content management system. The data may be given to you in audio format or as a spreadsheet. Your job would be to take those pages and input them exactly as written into the system.<\/p>\n

These jobs are often part-time, seasonal or freelance. But if you get a couple of jobs, you will have no problem making a decent salary for yourself.<\/p>\n

Just be careful about ensuring that the company that is offering you an opportunity is reputable. Unfortunately, there are many scams out there that pretend to be work-from-home opportunities.<\/p>\n

Research the company and match the website address, email address and phone number to what you find on their website. Never buy a kit or software to get started<\/p>\n
