Working from home certainly has its benefits.
You don’t have to deal with a commute every day. You don’t have to worry about your appearance. And in some cases, you can set your own hours.
But what are these jobs, and where can you find them? Here are some examples:

Customer service
A lot of companies want their customer service reps to work from home instead of a call center. The 24-hour nature of customer service lets a lot of reps set their own hours, especially from home.

One company that is hiring will give reps the opportunity to work hourly for up to 80 hours a week, while earning bonuses and incentives in the process.
Online trader
Online traders work with firms to trade stocks and bonds, all from home. These jobs typically have a modest base salary, with possibilities for a lot of performance-based incentives.
This one, for example, with a company based out of Brooklyn, New York, pays a $50,000 base, but “once a trader establishes a track record with the firm, they will be trading with enough capital to potentially earn over $100,000 per year.”
The job asks for previous experience in and knowledge about finance but doesn’t necessarily require a college degree.
Data entry
Data entry jobs are pretty straightforward and require little training or experience. Companies need their data formatted correctly and hire people to do so.
These jobs can be purely performance-based and work-as-you-go. This job pays you per units entered, with bonuses for company performance.
And again, you can do this job all from your home.
