Overview of Payments to Freelancers Around the World
So if I just look into my PayPal account, I want to show you guys something interesting. So I’m sending out all of these different payments to various different Freelancers all around the world that’s helping me with my online business in one way, shape, or form, and just by taking a look at all of these different payments, you can see that they range in terms of the amounts that I’m sending out.
Breakdown of Freelancer Payments by Task and Amount
This payment over here is $250, this one’s $40, this one is $420. All of these different payments vary when it comes to who I’m sending it to and exactly what they’re doing, and that’s exactly what I’m going to be telling about in today’s article. I want to go through all of these different work from home jobs, and I want to rank them in terms of high, middle, and low in terms of the amount that you could potentially earn when it comes to starting any one of these.
Short-form Video Editor: Earnings and Potential
All right, so jumping straight into the first work from home job, which is short-form video editor. So whether it’s my e-commerce businesses or my content creation businesses, I’m putting out a bunch of different short-form videos on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube shorts. For this particular work from home job, I’m going to put it into the middle column in terms of the amount that I pay all of my different short-form video editors.
Factors Influencing Earnings for Short-form Video Editors
But one thing that you do need to be aware of if you are considering becoming a short-form video editor is the fact that you may not make a lot of money on one individual video that you’re going to make. However, if you’re able to make videos, reels, and TikToks for someone like myself who’s uploading on a daily basis for all of my different online businesses, you’re going to be able to be in a position where you can definitely earn a lot of money at the end of the month.
Growing Demand for Short-form Video Editors in a Competitive Market
And because right now short-form videos are blowing up, a lot of business owners need it. It could definitely be a lucrative way for you to earn money from the comfort of your own home, and you don’t necessarily need fancy editing software as well. You’re going to be able to edit the short-form videos directly from your mobile phone if you wanted to.
Improving Skills to Increase Earnings as a Video Editor
But of course, if you want to be able to earn more money as a short-form video editor, you’re going to need to improve your quality, you’re going to need to improve your skills. Because if you’re able to do this, then you’re going to be able to make more money over the long term. With a lot of the short-form video editors that I’m working with at the moment, a lot of them weren’t necessarily the best initially, but over time they’ve been able to improve their skills and the quality of the videos.
Transition to Long-form Video Editing: Earnings Comparison
Because of that, I’ve increased the amount that I pay them per every single video that they make, and this actually now brings me on to the next work from home job, which is to become a long-form video editor. For this one, I’m going to put it into the high section. Generally speaking, when it comes to the amount that I pay all of my different long-form video editors for my YouTube channels that I’m running right now, I pay them a lot more than what I would pay a short-form video editor.
Benefits of Long-form Video Editing as a Career Choice
I think that the reason is quite obvious because a long-form video is normally around 9 minutes, 10 minutes, 12 minutes. However, a short-form video is only around 30 seconds, maybe 1 minute, and this is definitely something that you might want to consider if you are looking to become a video editor. You’re going to earn less money if you’re editing short-form videos compared to long-form videos, but as I previously said, the more videos you’re able to make as a short-form video editor, the more money you could potentially make at the end of the month.
The Role of Blog Writer and Researcher in Online Businesses
But moving on to the next work from home job that you can definitely make a lot of money because it requires a lot of skills, which is blog writer and researcher. For this one, I definitely have to put it into the high section. Now, for those of you that don’t understand exactly what a blog writer and researcher does, essentially, when it comes to helping people like myself that are running blog websites, I need people to research different topics, and I also need various different people to help me when it comes to producing the articles.
Overview of Freelance Writing and Researching for Blogs
So if I just jump on to one of the blog websites that I’m running at the moment, that could be found at successwithbus.com, as you can see, I’m publishing brand new articles every couple of days. And because I want all of these different articles to be produced to the best quality possible, I’m not going to be able to do all of the work myself. So what I’m doing is investing into various different researchers and writers when it comes to helping me produce excellent quality.
Importance of Quality Content for Blog Success and Rankings
Because I understand the importance of building up a website just like this and making sure that I’m producing the best quality for me to get these articles ranked on Google, I’m obviously going to pay all of my different writers and researchers a lot of money. So if you’re currently in a position where you’re really good at writing and you’ve got skills when it comes to grammar, punctuation, spelling, structuring sentences, and things like that, then you can definitely start earning a decent amount of money again from the comfort of your own home.
Earning Potential as a Thumbnail Maker for YouTube
But moving on to the next work from home job that I’m going to talk about, which is to become a thumbnail maker, and for this one, I’m going to put it into the low section. One thing that I’ve personally noticed over the years of me running various different YouTube channels is that the thumbnail makers tend to get paid the least. Of course, this all depends on so many different factors because Mr. Beast’s thumbnail maker, I believe, makes over $5,000 for every single thumbnail that he makes for Mr. Beast.
Price Competitiveness and Demand for Thumbnail Makers
But when it comes to regular YouTube channels, you’re only going to earn between $5, maybe $6 per every single thumbnail. The reason for this is that it’s not necessarily difficult when it comes to making a thumbnail, and because of that, there are so many different thumbnail makers out there to choose from.
Building a Client Base as a Thumbnail Maker for Steady Income
And because there are so many different thumbnail makers to choose from, it’s quite competitive, and a lot of the thumbnail makers have to reduce their prices. But similar to what I said earlier when it comes to becoming a short-form video editor, yes, you’re only going to earn a little bit of money for every single thumbnail that you make, but the more YouTubers that you’re able to make thumbnails for, essentially, those $5, those $6 per every single thumbnail is going to add up before the end of the month.
Becoming a Bookkeeper: Earnings Potential and Skill Requirements
So essentially, it all comes down to how much work you’re willing to put in when it comes to building up your client base of various different YouTubers. At the end of the month, the amount of money you can make can be over $500, $1,000, and even though, yes, the amount of money that I pay my thumbnail makers is the least compared to a lot of the other work from home jobs, I would probably say that it’s one of the easiest because you’re able to do all of the editing directly from your mobile phone.
Job Stability and Demand for Skilled Bookkeepers
You can either use apps like Canva or Pixar when it comes to making a thumbnail in a matter of minutes. All right, so on to the next work from home job that I’m going to talk about, which is to become a bookkeeper. For this one, I was debating on putting it either in the high section or in the middle section, but I think I’m going to go with the middle section, and the reason for this is because it all depends on what type of business you’re going to end up working for.
Managing Finances and Transactions as a Bookkeeper
If you’re working for a business that makes a lot of money but they don’t have that many transactions, then they’re not going to pay you that much money when it comes to managing their accounts. For those of you that don’t understand exactly what a bookkeeper does, essentially, what you’re going to be doing is managing all of the money that’s moving in and out of a business.
Building a Long-term Client Base as a Freelance Bookkeeper
Now, because I’m running various different online businesses at the moment, whether it’s e-commerce, affiliate marketing, YouTube channels, or whatever it is, I’ve got so many different online businesses, and I’ve got various different bookkeepers that I’m paying. The amounts that I pay those bookkeepers really do vary on what type of online business we’re talking about.
Becoming a Customer Service Representative for Online Businesses
Now, one thing that I do want to say about becoming a bookkeeper is that it’s definitely an evergreen work from home job that, once you get into it, you’re going to have a job for life. Businesses are always going to need someone to help them when it comes to managing their finances. If you’re able to learn the skills that go into becoming the best bookkeeper possible, then you’re going to be able to build up your client list of various different online businesses and build up recurring income every single month.
Growing Client Relationships and Long-term Earnings as a Bookkeeper
I’ve got bookkeepers that I’ve used for 2 years, 3 years straight, and as I continued to use them, I paid them more and more money as my businesses grew. Moving on to the next work from home job that I pay various different Freelancers to help me with, which is customer service. Whether it’s them answering my emails or whether it’s them answering my phone calls for my businesses, I’ve got various different Freelancers that I use for this particular work from home job, and this one I’m going to put it into the low section.
