Become a Virtual Assistant 

Many small businesses are desperately in need of help to run their business. Since they work from home, they do not want to hire a secretary to come and sit in their home and answer the phones. As a virtual assistant, there are many things you may be required to do. People may need you to answer emails, help with data transfer, answer phones, or anything else they may need done that they simply don't have time to do. You could make anywhere from $8-$25 per hour and up being a virtual assistant.
