  1. Virtual assistants. You can fix jobs on FlexJobs and Upwork, and the average hourly pay is $17.
  2. Transcribing audio and video. Having high-speed internet and a good pair of headphones can help, but you don’t need much besides that. It averages about $15 an hour.
  3. Editorial services. If you have good proofreading skills, you can find plenty of jobs on Fiverr, where a project can average $50-$75.
  4. E-commerce. What you make varies on what you’re selling, but you have tons of flexibility.

  6. Dog walking. If you love pets, you can make anywhere from $10 to $35 for a half-hour walk. Producer Nicole did this for a while marring her love for animals to a need for extra cash.
  7. Professional organizing. Can range from kitchens to garages to all-around de-cluttering. The average pay is $20-$25 an hour.
