1) WRITER
Being a professional writer is a perfect job for the location independent. You can find, research and complete your work all over the internet from your computer.
2) VIRTUAL ASSISTANT
Tasks for the Virtual Assistant can vary greatly, but since they are all completely virtual, all you need is a computer with an internet connection to do your job.
3) TUTOR
Tutors can help educate others over the internet via a webcam, interacting with their students via video chat. Online tutors are able to work 100% remotely.
4) ACCOUNTANT
CPAs and tax specialists are popular consultants that offer business advice and services over the internet, including consultant via video chats.
5) GAMING DEVELOPER
Because so much of a developer’s job tasks surround programming and are computer-intensive, the field is booming for remote workers who find the independence of working from outside an office a necessity for concentration.
6) BLOGGER
This is my profession, and I love it. I’m able to travel and still work, and use social media scheduling tools to run my business when I am doing other things. It feels good to know that I can make income when I’m not at my desk.

7) TRANSCRIPTIONIST/CAPTIONER
Websites like Rev.com offer closed captioning typist positions that can be completed 100% virtually via online dashboards.
8) EVENT PLANNER
Heavy emphasis on the planning is the name of the game for Event Planners. Events may only last one day, but planning for them lasts a lot longer. Luckily, Event Planners are able to work remotely finding clients and researching their big event (so long as they have the confidence for the event to be carried out as planned without their presence).
9) DATA ENTRY SPECIALIST
Much like Virtual Assistants, tasks for Data Entry Specialists vary greatly. What doesn’t vary though, is the fact that these workers are a giant part of the online, work-from-anywhere workforce revolution.
10) COMPOSER
Because the entertainment industry has been nearly completely digitized, even musicians and composers are now able to offer their services online.
11) DIRECT SALES CONSULTANT
Instead of offering a service, direct sales consultants sell products. Avon and Tupperware are popular and established direct sales companies. Recently, jewelry and essential oil companies have gained popularity as well. Online influencers with vast social networking connections are making a killing selling products – without even having to throw an in-home ‘party’.
12) TRANSLATORS
If you speak and write another language, there’s tons of work online, that can be completed from anywhere, to help transcribe language from one to another.
This list is in no way complete. Is there something you are good at that can be done over the internet? Check out sites like UpWork.com and Elance.com for more ideas. If you have a skill that can be digitized, chances are you can create your own location independent career where you work from where ever you wish.
Ready to get serious about your work from anywhere job search? I whole-heartedly recommend Flexjobs, the site where I found my first freelance writing gig. There are zero scams on their site and they have their own 100% remote team, too!
Mel says
Independent sales is also great when you work for the right company. I’m a Beachbody Fitness coach and love that I can work from anywhere, and help myself, my family and friends reach their fitness goals!
The Drifting Desk says
That’s such a good point, Mel! I’m only recently realizing Beachbody has this kind of program set up. I’m such a fan of Shaun T’s motivational attitude. I’m really happy to hear you’re enjoying working with them.
Jenn says
What about being a nurse from anywhere? Not in a hospital facility. I’m struggling to keep punching the time clock.
The Drifting Desk says
Hi Jenn,
If you’re an RN, I’d recommend checking out companies that offer telemedicine positions like Alere Medical.

You can be an appraiser from anywhere. You just have to take courses in your home state once every 2 years. The rest of the time you can do desktop appraisals that don’t even require you to see a property.
The Drifting Desk says
That’s awesome, Patti! Thanks for sharing – I had NO idea!
