What kind of work can someone do at home that does not require a lot of specialized skill?

Question

Are there employers out there that are looking for people to assist with routine-type tasks at home? Also, is there work you can do at home with minimal skill that can be learned in a short period of time? I am looking for legitimate work ideas only.

Answer 1

maid
gardner
nanny
online surveys
telemarketer
etc

Answer 2

For males there are maintance men or handy men. You would specify what kind of task you would be doing. It could range from lawn care, to plumbing, carpentry, painting or staining. Some even offer yard clean up or animal waste disposal. Removing someones garbage for them.

Then the women usually do the cleaning tasks. This would actually be a good idea if you had a partner, you would be able to offer more services to the same clients. Cooking cleaning, light house keeping and helping out with odd jobs around the house.

I also just thought you could also do moving cleaning. You would offer your services to landlords and they would have you come in and clean when ever a tenant moves out.

Hope these ideas help you out. Good luck and Good health to you.

Answer 4

Hi – I sell on eBay. It works for me. I profit about $3,500 a month and only work about 6 hours a day, from home, on the schedule I choose. You can start by selling things you already have and it will only cost a few dollars for listing fees.

I find items at second hand stores, garage sales, clearance sales, and members clubs to resell on eBay. Some of the items are used, some are new. I know people who sell services like web design or graphic design. Other people sell handmade items like jewelry, customized baby items, or craft items. There are many ways to earn a living on ebay, either part-time or full-time.

Please email me directly at [e-mail] for more info.

maybe you can look for companies who are in need of extra pair of hands like data encoder. you may bring home the paper work and work at home with your computer. another is house cleaning, if you are interested for this. there is really a market of people who needs house keeping done for them. another is doing grocery for people. like you work for a certain grocery and get the orders and people can pay in check or pay the grocery thru bank. you pick up and deliver the goods. theres also another, if you have enterpreneural blood in you, you may go into sales, sell on ebay. all you need is your own pc at home and items to sell and persistency and patience. good luck!

Answer 7

Website design. Just take a few classes at your local university, and you can get certified in web design. That is something you can do from home, as long as you have a nice PC.

Medical Transcriptions. Again, you can take a few classes from your local college, and fill out medial forms from you home.
