Looking for a summer job you can do from home? More and more people are looking to the Internet to find part-time work, full-time telecommuting jobs, freelance opportunities, and home-based businesses, and the worldwide web is also a portal to many different summer job opportunities, whether you're a high-school, college, or university student, a teacher, or anyone else with the financial need or personal desire to find summer work.
Some of the more popular summer jobs you can do online include tutoring, writing, editing, and proofreading, web and graphic design, virtual assistance, telemarketing, data entry, and more.
If you like working with other people and helping to impart knowledge upon them and have particular knowledge, a skill, or an area of expertise from which you could pass on this knowledge, think about becoming an online tutor. Tutors no longer need to meet face-to-face with their students; because of technology such as headsets and webcams as well as software like Skype, anyone can tutor and be tutored from anywhere in the world! For example, people who want to learn English as a Second Language (ESL) can actually learn online through an ESL tutor who lives on the other side of the globe.
If tutoring isn't your thing, but you have a way with words, consider a summer online writing job. While you might be able to land one full-time writing or editing gig for the summer, working strictly online, you'll probably need to become a freelancer and respond to several job ads and advertise your editorial services to find enough work. The great thing about working online as a writer or editor, though, is that you can find clients from all around the world. Webmasters from across the globe require content and articles for their websites and other materials as well as proofreaders to check over their existing content and written materials.
Web and graphic designers also can make a living during the summer working online. If this in an area in which you're skilled, consider becoming a freelance online designer. Again, you can find clients who need your skills from around the globe. To find work as an online designer, you need to have a professional website. Not only will this help you advertise and find more potential clients, but your website is your golden opportunity to showcase your design talent to the world.
If you've got experience as an office assistant, receptionist, or other administrative professional, you could become a virtual assistant this summer. Some companies (law offices, realtors, small businesses, those who run their own businesses, etc.) employ virtual assistants who work at home and online to provide personal, administrative, editorial, creative, or technical support. You could also advertise in your community and city as a virtual assistant available to help a number of different clients throughout the summer months. In most cases, you would be considered an independent contractor.
What if you don't think you have what it takes to be successful as an online tutor, writer, editor, designer, or assistant? Thankfully, there are other opportunities. If you like talking to people on the phone and aren't adverse to conducting surveys or selling products and services, you can make pretty good money telemarketing from home using an Internet-based phone system. Data entry is also a very simple job that can be done both during the summer and online. However, keep in mind that there are plenty of data-entry scams online. The basic rule of thumb when looking for work online is to never pay a fee to "receive more information" or to become employed, and to be able to verify the company's name and address. Think about checking out a company's legitimacy through the Better Business Bureau.
