The Top Ten Occupations for Remote Workers
Discover 10 of the greatest jobs for working from home or on the road – ideal for the post-COVID work environment.
With the use of public transportation to go to work prohibited in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic and social separation being the standard for reopened workplaces, remote working has never been more desirable.
Despite the economic volatility caused by the coronavirus, there are still numerous in-demand occupations available that allow you to work from home or anywhere you like for the day. Here are 10 of the finest careers for remote workers, in no particular order.
- Language instructor
If you’re already competent in a foreign language, teaching it to others is a great opportunity to meet people from all over the globe while still working flexibly and remotely. Lessons may be readily delivered through Zoom, and learning materials can be sent via email.
- Private tutoring
With the employment market declining while higher education enrollments stay stable, many young individuals are now overqualified for their current position. If you want to put your academic skills to good use while also avoiding rush hour, online tutoring might be a terrific way to work.
- Screenwriter
Even before the lockdown transformed us all into Normal People fans, online video content was undergoing an exponential increase. Screenwriters don’t have to leave their homes, and there’s a big need for skilled writers to keep up with the worldwide demand for video content.
Even better, you may begin remotely building a portfolio of writing work without ever setting foot on set.
- Videography and photography
Knowing how to use a camera is a valuable ability, particularly as more and more information is made available online. Employers are increasingly searching for photographers and videographers to film their operations and keep consumers informed via social media. Meanwhile, stock image companies such as Shutterstock are always on the lookout for high-quality photographs. You’re halfway there if you have a camera and some basic video or picture editing software.
- Manager of social media
If you’re known as the resident meme-maker or social-sharer among your pals, have you considered taking over social media for a living?
Working with social media has the benefit of being ready to work as soon as you have access to a phone and a laptop. Social media managers and executives all began with a desire to create online content, and their jobs allow them to work from anywhere on the globe.
- Programmer for computers
When working with computers, your workplace is wherever you keep your home laptop. Development is one of the finest careers for remote working, with web and software engineering positions ranking high on LinkedIn’s most promising jobs list.
- Podcasting
Podcasting is one of the most rapidly increasing forms of entertainment in terms of listenership – and ad money.
It may be an easier way to start a media career from home for anybody with the gift of gab – or an unusual interest you want to express – than the more competitive and image-focused worlds of YouTube and vlogging.
- Copywriting
Copywriting is a genuinely remote career — all you need is a laptop and a passion for words, after all. Even in workplaces, copywriters often ‘hot desk’ – travelling from location to location to write depending on who they’re working with – so working entirely remotely is the next obvious step.
Copify, for example, is continuously searching for writers to supply articles, SEO, and product descriptions. After you’ve gained some basic experience, consider applying to work as an in-house writer for a firm with an internal marketing team — depending on the organisation, these positions may enable you to work from home.

- Your current position
Your present employment may be the greatest one for remote working. Although many organisations have accepted home working, others are still hesitant to fully embrace digital technology and the full possibilities of remote working.
Knowing the newest digital trends – and understanding the future of work – might help you convince you (or your employer) of how remote working could benefit your firm, as well as provide employees with the skills they need to succeed in the future.
- Put your passion to work.
With the advent of digital markets – and the peer-to-peer economy – there’s no reason your home hobby can’t be transformed into a distant career.
Starting a home baking company, for example, may be a terrific option to work remotely if you’re a gourmet – particularly now that demand for home delivery has risen. All you need is the correct tools, excellent ingredients, and a fondness for brightly coloured cakes. Mum Bakes Cakes is a helpful guide for aspiring bakers.
If you’re handy, selling your own goods on Etsy might be a realistic remote work option. Etsy is the place to shop for everything charming and handmade, from gift cards to apparel and accessories. More information may be found in their beginner’s guide.
