8. SALES REPRESENTATIVE MEDIAN PAY: $16.96 per hour Search for sales representative jobs While it’s certainly helpful to have some previous experience working in sales, many companies are

willing to consider applicants who have different career backgrounds. The key skill is being able to show that you have the ability to connect with new clients while maintaining

relationships with current ones. In addition to being able to work from home, these jobs also tend to offer flexible or part-time hours, since you build your schedule around sales made more

than hours worked. 9. SOCIAL MEDIA SPECIALIST MEDIAN PAY: $19.54 per hour, according to Indeed Search for social media jobs If you are active on Facebook, Twitter, TikTok and other social

media platforms, you likely already have the experience needed to handle this job. Managing the photos, videos and other content posted on a company’s social media profile can be a

challenging career, especially at a large corporation. But many small businesses in your neighborhood and region also use social media to attract customers. These positions with local or

regional companies are great opportunities to earn while working flexible hours. 10. CONTENT WRITER MEDIAN PAY: $37.82 per hour Search for content writer jobs While a wide range of
