17 Flexible Work At Home Jobs For Night Owls

Are you a night owl looking for a way to make some extra money on the side?

Instead of wasting countless hours binge-watching Netflix or Youtube (I am guilty of this), you can earn some extra income on the side or even turn it into a full-time income!

Working extra on the side at night gives you more time with your family or your main job during the day. Let’s get started with the list!

 

Work at Home Night Jobs

1. Start a Blog

Blogging is one of the best side hustles. You can work on it anytime and anywhere.  I am currently writing this article in the wee hour while everybody is fast asleep.

Although blogging is my favorite side hustle, it is not without its challenges.  You will have to put in a lot of work in the beginning and won’t see a dime for months or maybe even a year later.

As an introvert, I find blogging works best for me.  I can work on it at night and on the weekends or I can take weeks off and it would still be here when I come back.

There are several ways to make money as a blogger such as:

• Displaying ads (most common)
• Affiliate products (Amazon affiliate is the most popular and easiest to get accepted)
• Sponsored posts
• Email marketing
• Sell your own products

Some of the most profitable blog niches include personal finance, health/fitness, lifestyle, food, travel, motherhood/parenting, and many more.

Starting a blog doesn’t require a big investment upfront.  You can have a blog up and running for just $2.99 per month with SiteGround. That’s less than a cup of coffee from Starbucks!

Check out this detailed step-by-step guide on how to start a blog and you will have it up and running in no time at all!  Even if you’re a non-techy like me!

 

2. Proofreading/Editing Jobs

Online proofreading is for you if you have a knack for finding and fixing grammar, spelling, format, and punctuation errors.

You can work full-time, part-time, or as a freelancer proofreading/editing for publishing organizations, books, scientific and technical services, advertising, and even for bloggers who need help proofreading their blog posts.

Online proofreading jobs do require some basic training, but you don’t have to pay a penny to see if it’s right for you.

Caitlin Pyle is proof that you can turn a side hustle into a thriving business.  She has created a FREE 76-minute proofreading workshop that teaches you ins and outs of online proofreading.  The course provides tips and info on how you can learn to do this without any prior experience or degree.

3. VoiceOver Acting

The voices that you hear on TV, the radio, podcasts, audiobooks, commercials, and many more are all done by voice-over actors.  Voiceover work could be a nighttime gig if you live alone, have a basement, or a room dedicated as an office where nobody can hear you.

Julie over at Work From Home Doing Voice Overs has a FREE mini-course where she talks about the basic skills needed for voiceover work and where you can find work.

 

4. Virtual Assistance Services

There has been a surge in demand for virtual assistants in recent years.  A virtual assistant (VA) is someone who provides services to businesses and entrepreneurs online.  As a virtual assistant, you’ll work with both companies and individual business owners.

Being a virtual assistant is a great side hustle for people who want to work from wherever and whenever as long as you have internet connection.

Some services you can offer are:

• Social media management
• Email writing
• Content creation
• Blog management
• Website and graphic design
• Admin services
• Bookkeeping

5. Freelance Writing

Freelance writing is another great way to make money as a night owl.  You can write for blogs, magazines, marketing companies, books, and more.

As long as you can produce high-quality work and meet the deadline, it doesn’t matter when you do your writing.

Holly over at Earn More Writing offers a free workshop where she goes over the strategies that helped her build a freelance writing income of over $200K per year.

Her free workshop is a great resource for aspiring writers to turn it into a successful freelance writing career.  You will learn the ins and outs of freelance writing and how she turned it into a 6-figure income.

 

6. Freelance Transcriptionist

A freelance transcriptionist is a person who types speech from audio or video files into a written format.

According to Salary, the annual average salary for a transcriptionist is $49,600 with a range of $44,000 to $55,000.   That’s an average of $22 – $27 an hour.

However, most sites pay by the audio hour or per word transcribed, so the faster you can transcribe the audio file, the more money you will make.

If you don’t know where to begin, Janet Shaughnessy over at Transcribe Anywhere has created a FREE 7-Lesson Transcription Mini-Course to give you a basic understanding of what it takes to be a transcriptionist.

Sign up to join for FREE to determine if being an online transcriptionist is the right fit for you.  I tried transcription a few years ago and it wasn’t for me.  This is definitely not for everybody and that’s why you should check out the free course to see if it’s right for you.

 

7. Amazon FBA

There are several ways to make money on Amazon and being an Amazon FBA is one of them.  Amazon FBA (also known as Fulfillment by Amazon) is a service that allows sellers or businesses to sell on the Amazon platform without doing the heavy lifting.

When a customer makes a purchase, Amazon will pack and ship the order.  Amazon also provides customer service and processes returns.

Since FBA is not free due to Amazon’s storage fees and it can add up if you have large items with very slow turnover.  FBA works best for sellers selling small products with high turnover.  This limits storage fees and long-term storage costs.

 

8. Mechanical Turk Worker ($150-300/week)

Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) is an online marketplace where businesses can post tasks they want done for a specific price, and individuals like you can check out the available opportunities and claims the ones they want.

These tasks can be anything from transcribing audio, writing articles, evaluating images/video, take surveys, or removing duplicate content from business listings – but they all require a human to think through them, hence these tasks are called human intelligence tasks (HITs).

MTurk is easy to get started and you can complete these tasks online in your spare time to supplement your income, but be aware that the pay is typically low ($6-10 per hour) and you won’t be able to quit your main job by just doing mTurk.

Here are 10 other ways to make money on Amazon.

 

9. Teach English Online

If you are a native English speaker and enjoy working with children, then working as a remote English teacher might be a good option for you.

Prior teaching or tutoring experience is not required, but definitely a big plus.  Most companies do require a bachelor’s degree, but not all.

Your lesson plans will be prepared for you by these companies, that’s one less thing you have to worry about!  Most classes are around 30 minutes long and the hours are flexible.

 

10. Sell Printables on Etsy

There are many things you can make to sell on Etsy, but selling printables/digital downloads is the easiest and most profitable.  You only need to create the file once and sell it over and over again without having to worry about packing it up and shipping it.

Most of these printables look very simple that anyone can do them – something as simple as a weekly meal planner, budget planner, bachelorette party games, etc.

Canvas and PicMonkey are my go-to sites when it comes to creating images.  They both have paid versions, but I have used the free version for years without needing to upgrade.
