Medical Transcriptionists – In this job, you have to transcribe reports that are recorded by physicians and other medical professionals into writing.  Take advantage of these if you have good hearing and precision to detail.  You don’t have to worry though, there are some who provide training first before they let you do the work.

Get hired as a voice talent!  This is included in this list because it’s a freelance job that you can do any hour of the day, so long as it’s quiet and you have got a good microphone or headset.  Once you get hired as one, you only have to record your voice and send it to your client in an MP3 format.

You Tube– Fond of making videos?  Consider becoming a you tube product critic.  It’s just like making blogs, but in video form.  A lot of bloggers venture into this kind of media, due to its popular use.

Though it is true that there are lots of web opportunities that you can take advantage of, you must never forget to be wary of the scammers that pretend to offer work as well.  Remember, if the job asks for your credit card or wants you to pay for anything, it is most likely a scamming plot.  Do some research; know which freelance job sites are legit, and good luck in your future home-based occupation!
