3 Exciting Part-Time Work-From-Home Jobs You Can Do to Earn More

Remote and part-time employment opportunities can be valuable for people from varying backgrounds.

#1 Virtual Call Center Agent

As a virtual call center agent in India, you will normally have to carry out all obligations that an in-office call center representative would perform. However, the only catch is that you’ll have to do it within the fours walls of your home.

#2 Online Teacher(Tutor)

In case you are gifted in a specific subject, possess mastery over the same, or have the qualification and work experience as a teacher, then slotting into the role of a part-time online teacher might just be a decent, high-paying, work-from-home employment opportunity for you. 

Virtual instructors or teachers work the same way as teachers in classrooms. But instead of actually interacting with students in person, they use video conferencing tools and software such as Skype, Zoom etc. Having said that, many online teachers, instead of hosting live study sessions, record their classes and lessons on e-learning platforms which provides more flexibility.

The income potential will depend on a variety of factors like the subjects you teach, the number of students that have enrolled, the e-learning platform you’re on, the e-books and resources you sell and so on. Many online tutors make a living off teaching college and university students. But as a part-timer, working from home, trying online teaching for the first time, you can stick to school students who want to learn subjects like Mathematics, Science, English etc.
