#1: Writing

If you’re a good writer, you can make $3 for every 100 words. That translates to $300 per hour! Note that many writers prefer to be paid in terms of royalties instead of hourly rates, but it all depends on what they offer. As a general rule, we recommend you set your pricing at around 0.5 to 1 percent of your monthly income target.

#2: Graphic Design

If you’re an Adobe Creative Cloud subscriber, it doesn’t get much easier than putting together a nice piece of graphic design work. But let’s be honest—these things can get complicated fast. Don’t have a degree in graphic design? That’s okay—there are plenty of online courses (like ours!) available to help you hone your skills without spending money on tuition.

#3: 3D Animation

Because it’s a buyer’s market, you can really stand out by offering services no one else does. If you have some animation or design experience, consider creating a few animated videos for people. While you won’t make millions on these things, you could easily charge a little (or sometimes a lot) more than average and pull in some solid income from these projects.

#4: Video Editing

$3,333 per month (median) This skill is one of two that can earn you six figures. It pays $200 per job posting – that’s a lot! With video being such a huge focus in content marketing and SEO, many companies are hiring freelancers to create videos for them. If you have experience with Adobe Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro, start practicing your editing skills right away and see if you can get some jobs through these platforms.

#5: Transcription

This is a highly paid skill that doesn’t require any special training. All you need to do is listen to audio files and type them out. Usually, these kinds of projects pay between $15 and $25 per audio hour. It’s a great way to bring in money while traveling or commuting—although you may want to invest in a good pair of noise-canceling headphones, if you plan on transcribing for long periods of time.

#6: SEO/SEM

At first glance, you may be quick to write off search engine optimization and pay-per-click advertising as something reserved for big companies with hefty marketing budgets. But small businesses can also use SEO/SEM to their advantage if they know how. To learn how, you can create an account with free online tools like Google AdWords Keyword Planner and then begin testing relevant keywords based on your business’s industry and location.

#7: Mobile Apps

This skill is all about being able to develop apps for mobile devices. It’s also a more specialized skill, so if you have it, it’s probably easier to get work as an independent contractor. That said, you can still market yourself and your services through sites like LinkedIn or Upwork. There are lots of people looking for help with their mobile app projects!

#8: SEO Consultant

$15/hr – $10.25/hr: SEO stands for search engine optimization, which is a method of improving website traffic by optimizing their visibility to search engines (i.e., Google). The job of an SEO consultant is to improve sites in order to boost their ranking, increase visitor engagement and build brand recognition with consumers.

#9: Virtual Assistant

$1,224 a month (U.S.)—This job involves tasks like responding to emails, scheduling meetings and making phone calls. If you have administrative skills, some free time and a desire to work as a virtual assistant, then signing up with one of these companies might be a good choice for you.
