New Opportunities from new Tech Development
As technology develops, so do entrepreneurial opportunities. Here are some work-at-home jobs that our past generations would never have anticipated:
1. BLOG’g. It takes some time to grow an audience and find ways to monetize your Blog, but if you love to share your point of view or knowledge with the world, this can be a good way to work from home. Niche Blogs are a particular area of growth in this ever-growing profession. Income can vary widely, but the income potential is nearly limitless.

2. Web Design. Helping clients design the best website for their needs & do SEO is a great way to bring in more bucks.
3. App Design. Creating a profitable App for Smart Phones isn’t necessarily about having the best or most innovative idea; it’s about creating the best user experience for that idea. That’s how App designers are able to make their work-from-home a full time job—and then just live off the passive income.
4. Internet Security. If you’re tech savvy and understand the ins & outs of this, consider becoming a Consultant to startups or small businesses. Unlike the big boys, these companies can’t afford the huge security budgets, but they still want to be able to protect their Internet customers.
5. E-book Author. Now that anyone can have their work E-published, it is possible for anyone to make a fortune off their writing. The biggest recent example is the 50 Shades of Grey trilogy, but there are many authors taking advantage of the ease of E-publishing. If you love to write and are willing to do your own promotion (having a Blog can really help in that case), writing an E-book is an excellent way to make money.
6. Online Store. It used to be that if you had a product to sell, you also had to have a store-front and all the costs associated with it. These days, you can sell anything to anyone anywhere in the world.
7. eBay Sales. The other option for Online Sales is to simply become the eBay middleman. Millions sell their wares on the online Action (no) Auction house. If you can find an inexpensive source for (legally!) Saleable merchandise, you can get for it.
8. Micro Jobs. With the advent of Fiverr, we have a brand new way to assign & accept work: little jobs for small payouts. But it’s no party trick. Apps like Gigwalk & sites like Mechanical Turk make it possible to cobble together a living with lots of little assignments.
9. Internet Marketing Affiliate. If you already have your own Website or Blog, you can earn money by becoming an “affiliate”. You can either sell products directly and earn money that way, or you can sign up others as affiliates, much like multi-level marketing.
10. Get Paid for your Social Media. Some Twitter users are able to leverage their huge following into a paid gig for advertisers. Prolific Bloggers have been known to get paid for commenting on other Blogs. If you are a Social Media expert, you can use that expertise to earn money. People want to reach your audience and are willing to pay you for it.
11. Graphic Design. Businesses always need Graphic Designers to help them convey info visually, through Logos, Ads, Posters, Websites, Blogs, etc. While it is possible to be an entirely self-taught Graphic Designer, most have either a Certification or a Degree. Other than the cost of Design SW, this business has very little overhead and can be done anywhere with a dedicated computer.
12. Green Consulting. Many smaller companies would like to find ways to make their processes greener without spending more green. You can help them to figure out ways to improve their carbon footprint without sacrificing the bottom line.
13. Drive for the new Taxi services – Uber, Lyft, etc. Becoming a driver has quickly become a great way for people to earn extra $$$ for yourself & your Startup. Many entrepreneurs have found this is a good way to pay the bills while they work on their business that they are passionate about.

18. Editing. Like copy-writing, this is a free-lance gig where it’s helpful to have a background in English or Communications—but any eagle-eyed “natural” writer could do great job.
