    Finding Legitimate Self Employment Opportunities

    Almost everyone can appreciate the ideal of working from home and being their own boss. This is why many modern Americans have decided to hang up the gloves and enter into self-employment positions. This gives them the ability to make money, while calling the shorts. In 2017, the number of self-employed people in the United States has climbed to new highs. The good news is that there are still plenty of self-employment opportunities available to modern consumers. Below, you’ll find some of the best opportunities for 2017.

    Call Center Rep

    There is no doubt that companies depend heavily on their customer service department to keep their clients happy. Today, more and more companies are switching to a digital or virtual call center. With this type of setup, the representative remains at home and works calls for the company. Your responsibilities will include helping customers sort out problems, accepting orders, and even scheduling appointments. All legitimate companies will be more than happy to provide you with training, so no skills are needed. However, it is wise to have experience with computers and decent typing abilities.

    Showing Off Your Hobby

    Are you the type of individual that loves to make crafts in your spare time? Believe it or not, that hobby could translate into a profitable business. Etsy and eBay offer hobbyists with a unique opportunity to enjoy their trade and make money along the way. Just remember that by choosing to work from home, you will have little to no protection from certain personal injuries, unless you pay for that protection on your own. Nevertheless, selling the crafts you made online can be very rewarding.

    Plus, if your work is a hit, you could become a well-known celebrity in the long run.

    Become A Survey Taker

    Surveys have been around for ages. And, people have been making money for taking them for an incredibly long period of time. This is truly no different today. Companies are more than happy to pay for your participation, since your money can sometimes be put to good use and to help the company make better decisions. Just remember that the pay is low and you’ll need to work hard to make livable wages. With this in mind, you’ll need to work with several different companies and spend long hours on your computer.

    A Senior Companion

    If you’re happy with traveling, you should definitely consider starting a senior companion business. This is one of the most rewarding careers you could ever take on. As a senior companion, you will be required to take care of an elderly individual. You’ll travel to their home and help them with their daily tasks. You can help the individual go shopping, prepare for the day, and complete many mundane tasks.

    Social Media Consultant

    Do you know a great deal about social media? If so, you should definitely consider offering your services to companies. By helping these corporations improve their social media presences, you’ll be able to make money and find even more clients. Who doesn’t want to make money by using social media?
