Do you want to make money while working from home, but don’t want to work a full-time job?
There are many part-time work from home jobs online, and that’s actually exactly how I’ve been making money for the past couple of years.
Maybe you’re looking for a part-time work-from-home job because you only have a limited number of hours you can work each week. Or maybe you want flexible work that fits around your family, travel, school, or other responsibilities. I get it – that flexibility is one of the biggest reasons I love part-time remote work.
I’ve been working as a part-time gig worker and freelancer doing all sorts of things, including jobs like writer (like this article you’re reading right now), project manager, marketing assistant, graphic designer, scheduler, and more. I personally really like part-time work because you get to learn new skills, find new career paths, and also see what kinds of jobs you want to stay away from in the future.

13 Best Part Time Work From Home Jobs
Here’s a list of part-time work-from-home jobs.
1. Bookkeeper
A bookkeeper is someone in charge of tracking financial transactions and organizing finances for individuals and companies. Tasks may include recording receipts and expenses, managing invoices, payroll, and financial reports.
This job is needed because many small business owners either 1) aren’t comfortable handling their own financial records and/or 2) don’t have the time for it.
Bookkeepers can choose who they work with, set their own rates, and determine how little or how much they want to work. Many people start part-time and scale up to full-time based on how many new clients they can get.

2. Proofreader
A proofreader is someone who reviews text before it’s published in articles, books, advertisements, and more.
This may include fixing spelling mistakes, typos, missing words, correcting grammar and punctuation errors, and much more.
Pay ranges from $15 to $25 per hour, with more experienced proofreaders earning up to $40 per hour. You can charge per word, per project, or work on an hourly or salary basis.

3. Facebook poster
Did you know you can make money by posting on Facebook?
Facebook pays creators for posting content like memes, photos, text posts, and videos. Someone I know made over $149,000 in six months by posting on Facebook, with most of the content being curated from other places (like X, Threads, and Reddit), rather than being made from scratch.
You don’t need a huge following to qualify for this Facebook program either. What really matters is daily consistency (you have to post many times each day because Facebook wants you to create content so that more people stay on the Facebook app longer) and making sure to never share anything with copyrighted music.
I recommend reading How I Got Paid $39,177 Directly From Facebook in One Month Just To Post Content to learn more about this.
4. Blogger
A blogger is someone who creates content around a niche or topic, like finance, travel, health, food, parenting, or crafts.
I’ve been a blogger for many years, starting fresh out of high school. We make money through ads, sponsored posts, affiliate marketing, digital products, services, selling courses, and more. You can learn more about this at How To Earn Money Blogging.
I have been part-time blogging for years, and I know many other part-time bloggers as well. Some do this because they have full-time jobs, some are stay-at-home parents and don’t have much free time, and others earn semi-passive income from their blog (such as through affiliate marketing), so they don’t have to work as many hours.

5. Transcriptionist
A transcriptionist turns audio or video into text documents.
You don’t need a degree for this type of work, but you must be good at typing (being a fast typer is important because then you can get more work done and make more money!), grammar, and punctuation. Someone just getting into transcription can expect to make around $10 to $15 per hour to start, with earnings growing as your skills improve.
Your typical clients may include marketers, filmmakers, speakers, authors, and academics. This is a great job for someone who wants flexibility to work as little as they want and work on their own schedule because transcription gigs can be done at any time.

6. Writer
Writers create content for all types of places, like blogs, websites, books, social media, or marketing materials. I’ve worked as a freelance writer for over a decade, writing content for many different websites.
You can work freelance, part-time, full-time, or contract, and usually work remotely. I know many people, including myself, who write part-time, so I know this can be possible.
This job requires strong grammar skills, research skills, and storytelling.
You can also get into specializations, like copywriting, technical writing, ghost writing, or creative writing. Writers may get paid per word, per project, or per hour.

7. Social media manager
A social media manager is in charge of managing on social media platforms like Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, and/or LinkedIn (they may manage one or all).
They create, schedule, and publish content like posts, stories, reels, and videos. A social media manager also talks to followers and responds to messages and comments.
As a social media manager, you can either work freelance or for an agency, with entry-level pay starting at roughly $15 per hour, going up to $40+ per hour with experience. Flexibility in schedule is very common with this type of career, and there are many part-time gigs available, especially for small businesses that may not need a full-time social media manager.
I’ve worked on and off as a part-time social media manager for years, and I do some social media work for this website that you’re reading right now.
8. Virtual assistant
A virtual assistant (also known as a VA) is someone who provides services remotely to help businesses run smoothly.
I’m a virtual assistant, and like other assistants, my tasks consist of admin support, customer service, content creation, marketing help, tech support, and a lot more. The tasks really depend on the company you’re working for and what they need.
I started by taking inventory of my existing skills and what I enjoy doing and marketing that to companies I found on Upwork. VAs can work part-time or full-time, as the work is highly flexible and remote-friendly. Earnings vary widely, with some people making $15 an hour, whereas others can make $50+ for a high-level assistant.

9. Customer service representative
Customer service representatives are people who help solve problems and help customers.
These jobs are usually remote and part-time, with many being entry-level with no experience required. Pay ranges from $15 to $25 per hour.
Industries hiring customer service representatives the most are tech, retail, insurance, healthcare, and e-commerce. The easiest way to find these types of jobs is via any job board site, as there are usually many job listings on these types of sites.

10. Translator
A translator is someone who translates written content from one language to another.
They may work with books (such as translating an English-written book into a different language), websites, documents, articles, subtitles, or marketing materials, just to name a few. And, obviously, this job requires fluency in at least two languages.
As a translator, you can work freelance or for an agency, with entry-level pay starting at $20 per hour and going up to $100+ per hour for specialized or experienced translators in high demand.
11. Medical coder/biller
A medical coder/biller is someone who translates healthcare services, diagnoses, and procedures into standardized codes for billing and insurance. They also use codes to create invoices and submit claims to insurance companies.
This job requires knowledge of medical terminology and coding systems, and usually requires a special certification to increase job prospects and pay. As a medical coder, you can work in hospitals, clinics, insurance companies, or remotely for healthcare providers.
Pay typically starts at $20 per hour, with that number going up depending on skills and experience.
I recently came across someone on social media who does medical coding and billing after they get home from their day job. This is a part-time job that they work from around 5–9 p.m. each night and at home. So, this could be an idea if you’re looking for something part-time!
12. Paid online survey taker
A survey taker is someone who fills out surveys for market research companies and brands. They share their honest opinion on products, services, advertisements, or trends, and this can be done completely from home on their own schedule.
Now, this isn’t technically a job, but it is a way to make extra money in your free time. So, if you have limited available hours but want to make some extra money, this may be an option to look into.
Payment varies, with surveys typically paying between 50 cents and $5 each, with some paying higher payouts. Filling out surveys is good as a side hustle, but not necessarily if you’re looking for a high-income source or full-time income.
Some of the best options include:
- Freecash – (my sister made $302 playing Bingo on her phone in just one week with this site, and they also have surveys and apps you can sign up for to make money with)
- American Consumer Opinion
- User Interviews (these are usually focus groups that pay $45 or more per hour of your time)
- Swagbucks
- Survey Junkie
- InboxDollars
- Branded Surveys
