Work from home (Part 2)
We talked in the previous article, which you will find
its link here
about the
importance and benefits of working from home and we also talked about some of
the jobs and sites of each job and the most important points to consider before
applying for any job from them and here in this article we will complete what
we started about working from home and there is a bonus at the end of this
article to help you more and more.
8. Travel agency
Working from home as a travel agent is a new idea, as
tourism agencies allow many of their employees to work from home, in the past
you should have visited the travel agent's offices, browsing the deals offered
if you want to book a trip or vacation.
Now the process has become easier thanks to the
Internet, technological development, and phone applications... Customers can
use the Internet to search for prices and package offers themselves, and
contact the agency to book a flight or do the whole thing online.
Therefore, you can work from home as a travel agent,
whether through one of these agencies or on your own through your website or
your self-employment page.
Note that the method of accounting with agencies is
agreed in advance, often by commission system in proportion to what the
customer pays for the trip while accounting for self-employment sites varies by
the hour.
Finally, if you are working in this field through your
website or social media page, you can determine the right amount of profit for
you based on your costs, effort and time.
Some of the most popular companies working in this
field:
Tips and feedback on this area:
1. You need to have accurate access to all information
available on the Internet about the countries that offer travel offers.
2- Don't look at the information you will need to do
your part as a travel agent, but you should focus on ways to provide good
service to your customers and gain their satisfaction such as after-sales
services and flight assessments.
3- You can view many courses in this field on Alison's
popular website.
4. Be prepared to provide additional services in
return for a small increase in your earnings: such as trip planning services,
vacations.
9. Translation
The translation is one of the areas where global
demand is increasing due to global openness.
At first, the translation field focused heavily on
English, as it represented a large part of the scientific and recreational
material we encounter in our normal lives, but this has changed recently,
especially on the Internet.
We see sites with more than one interface, each based
on a different language, and there is also a demand for translation of
scientific, literary, such as films and novels.
In general, the translation field is one of the areas
that do not require a regular presence at the workplace, so it has been one of
the first areas of work from home, which has continued from its inception until
now and is expected to continue for a long time.
From this point of view, translation companies have
begun to prefer to deal remotely with their employees and customers, and this
has led to the existence of sites that require specialized translators,
sometimes non-specialists, and train them to reach the required competence.
You can start working from home in the translation
field through one of these sites:
Of course, most self-employed sites have a translation
section, and you'll find lots and opportunities on it.
Tips and feedback on this area:
1. Translators to and from English are relatively
large, so finding an opportunity to work with this language may be challenging
but not impossible as long as you are proficient in this language.
2- Research before entering this field helps you to
know which languages are in demand, or which ones provide a high income,
especially if you intend to master a new language, this will save you the
trouble of mastering a language and then discover that competition is difficult
or that the material return is relatively weak.
3. Specialization in the translation of a specific
field of language is highly required, such as the translation of medical or
legal documents, and many new translators or those who are learning a new
language turn to it, as this helps them to focus their studies on this
discipline, which saves a great deal of time and effort.
10. Accounting and remote bookkeeping
Accounting and remote bookkeeping are intended to be
responsible for the registration of the financial operations of an enterprise.
Although we are used to this job requiring an
accountant to be present at the company or establishment headquarters, this has
changed thanks to the technological development that has led to the
transformation of paper finance documents into a digital format, which allows
users to access this data at any time, and via any computer For me or a
smartphone.
This area is fairly new, so most sites that offer the
opportunity to work from home are foreign which requires special conditions.
But global self-employment sites such as Freelancer,
Upwork, or mini-service sites such as Fiver do not require more than a general
accounting principle and the proficiency of an accounting program.
Tips and feedback on this area:
1- This area is very suitable for university graduates
who have specialized in financial accounting since accounting rules are
considered one global, so qualifying to participate in this field is relatively
easy for them... He just needs to know English and medium technical knowledge.
2- Many Arab and international startups use software
and accounting applications such as wave apps because this is the global trend
of accounting... Studying these applications and learning how to deal with them
is one of the key factors in working in this area.
3. To ensure excellence in accounting and remote
bookkeeping, you must be familiar with the tax laws of the client's country,
and any differences or modifications to the accounting rules of that country.
11. Logo design and selling
Do you have a simple knowledge of logo design tools?
Well, you can use this knowledge to design logos and sell them online... This
is a highly required area of work from home.
Also, this area can be local to customers near you:
like your friends or acquaintances who need to design a logo for their business
or stores.
Also sell your designs online on several sites, or
even on a special social media page such as Facebook.
The most important sites where you can sell the logos
you have designed:
Tips and feedback on this area:
1- If you do not have logo design skills you can
easily learn through YouTube, or through online self-education sites such as
Udemy and Coursera, where you will find several free training courses offered
by professionals in this field using various tools, in the simplest ways.
2- If you Did not find a free course in self-education
sites? It's ok you can search for training courses on YouTube, also there are
social media pages like Facebook that provide free lessons and simplified
lectures in this field.
3- Keeping you informed about the logos of
international products, the story of their development, and how they were
thought of enhances your creativity and helps you create distinctive,
innovative designs.
12- Designing and selling images
This is the most advanced level of logo design. If you
have a great knowledge of photo editing software and can design photos to your
liking, or edit them in high resolution, there are several sites where you can
sell your photos.
This area is not limited to the internet only, but
there is a demand from people on social networking sites, and sometimes small
or medium companies who need to edit their photos, and do not want to hire
someone full-time.
As for the sites where you can sell your photos, we
can't fully limit them... Since they are already large, we can mention the best
locations in this field:
Tips and feedback on this area:
1- Do not limit yourself to dealing with one site or
tool, but try more than one site and more than one tool. Then decide which one
is right for you.
2- This is an area that needs excellence and
innovation, so old or refined works will not be sold or profitable.
3- Always use the latest version of the applications
you use, to avoid any errors or problems you may experience while working, and
also enjoy the new features that are added to the applications with each
version.
13- Selling products with your designs on it
This is almost the third area in this article of
homework that is suitable for people with the skills to use editing software
and editing images.
In my opinion, it is a natural development for anyone
who started working from home in the two previous fields and wants to develop
and expand, it is worth mentioning that this field needs several other skills
in addition to photo editing skills.
Through this field you sell products such as t-shirts
and mugs with logos and pictures of your design through sites that are
registered, and are responsible for selling the product, printing it and
shipping it to the customer in exchange for a percentage of profits divided
between you and the site, and be predetermined in the terms of the site.
All you have to do is design the logo or image, upload
it to your account on the site and then add it to the products you want, and
then the site displays these products to its visitors.
Why does this field need skills other than designing,
editing, and photo editing?
Well, the answer is simple... Designing a logo or
image and adding it to a product is easy but knowing which products are
popular, which have demanded is the main factor in selling and continuing, and
this requires a lot of research and access to popular trends.
Here are some of the most important sites where you
can sell products on your designs:
Tips and feedback on this area:
1- Although the entire sale process is the
responsibility of the site you have registered for, it is up to you to market
your products, which may be difficult at first, but with some effort, you can
easily do.
2- Access to the events and holidays of your website
audience is essential because accordingly, you will create designs that suit
these occasions, which increases the chance of selling these products.
3. Sites such as Merch by Amazon and Teespring display
the best-selling products based on factors such as price, user feedback...
These statistics and data can be guided by the design of your product.
14. Conducting and selling training courses on online
education websites
Do you know how to deal with Photoshop? Or have the
skill of repairing a particular electrical device? Or maybe you can explain
marketing strategies in a particular area.
Excellent now you can take advantage of all these
skills in the field of work from home, by creating a training course in which
you explain what you know from these or other areas and then sell them.
Several statistics have recently shown an increase in
the proportion of people who want to learn new areas and skills online, which
leads you to turn your skills and experience in one of your areas of interest
into a training course and sell them online. Not only that, but it also prompts
you to learn new skills, master them and explain them in a simplified way.
If you do some research on the famous Udemy website,
you will find a large number of courses in various fields and skills.
With some observation, you will find that not a few of
the course holders are people who have studied some areas themselves, and then
prepared these courses in terms of their understanding and practice in these
areas.
Of course, there are training courses offered by
university professors and specialists on these sites, but this does not prevent
that there are wonderful training courses whose owners started in this field
from scratch and then mastered it and professionalism, and then provided these
courses for a sum of money and achieved success which pushed them to take this
field as a permanent source of income M.
There are several platforms where you can offer your
courses for a nominal price, the most famous of which are:
Tips and feedback on this area:
1- Although professional content photography is of
course required, clarity of sound and image, in general, is the most important
factor, so with simple tools such as a smartphone, an external microphone that
can record your course content without complications or huge costs.
2- Not only does it depend on your knowledge in this
field, but also research, and see training courses for the same content that
you intend to discuss in your course... This will give you a chance to improve
and develop your content and the way it is presented.
3- Organize the content of your session and divide it
for goals and modules, so that it is coordinated and easy to accommodate your
target audience, which if you like the content of your session will nominate it
to your friends and acquaintances, and will also follow you, and participate in
your next training courses.
4- Do not overprice your training course, especially
if it is the first for you, but try to be proportional to the price of the
course commensurate with its cost and effort with a small profit margin at the
beginning, and after building a fan base and followers you can increase the
price after measuring the supply and demand of your training courses.
15. Questionnaires
Although the field of work from home by filling out
questionnaires is a relatively new area in the Arab world, it is one of the
areas that provide income without much experience or learning like the rest of
the work from home.
All that is required of you is to register on some
sites, add the data that the site requests to add to your account, and the site
will send a message to your email when a suitable questionnaire is available to
you.
After filling out the questionnaire, and correctly
answering the questions in it you are rewarded, either by a specified amount to
be determined before you start filling out the questionnaire, or for a certain
number of points that you can then convert to a sum of money or other gifts:
such as a discount coupon on a purchase site.
But remember that you are paid on arrival for the
minimum transfer of your profits.
At the beginning of the presence of this field in the
Arab world, the number of sites requesting participants from Arab countries was
very low, and the rate of sending questionnaires to the participants was very
low... It is almost one questionnaire per month, and the minimum withdrawal of
profits was high.
Now that the number of these sites has increased, the
number of questionnaires sent to participants has increased, and there are
different forms of payment methods, and an appropriate minimum withdrawal of
profits sometimes up to $5, which can be achieved by filling out a few
questionnaires.
Some of the most famous of these sites, which allow
Arabs and Egyptians to participate in them and send questionnaires
periodically:
Tips and feedback on this area:
1- Creating more than one account on the same site
puts you at risk of being blocked, lost any profits or points achieved, and the
ban will not only be for your email but will be a ban on the devices you
used... This means that any opportunity to create other accounts is lost even
if the structure is properly handled.
2- Make sure you fill out the questionnaires with your
correct opinions and data without mentioning any specific details or accurate
financial information. This adds credibility to your answer, making you
eligible for more questionnaires.
3- See the means of payment and receipt of profits
before registering at each site, as some means may not be suitable for you or
are not available in your country.
Conclusion
Besides the possibility of working from home in all
these areas on specialized sites in each area, most of these areas are also
required on self-employment sites such as Freelancer and Upwork, and
mini-service sites such as Fiverr.
It is worth mentioning that there are many areas where
you can work within the framework of your acquaintances and friends such as
areas of image design and logos.

abundant and varied opportunities, i.e. finding customers or people interested
in the services you provide is something you don't need to worry about.
