Working at home exploded in popularity once COVID-19 hit the scene. Businesses used it to keep their workers safe. And they soon realized that it wasn’t necessary to work in an office.
What if you aren’t working from home, though? What if you didn’t have a job that allowed you to make that transition, yet you’d like to start earning income from the comfort of your couch? Is it possible?

Tax Forgiveness
We know how challenging it can be to pay off your tax debt.
The IRS just announced the 2023 Fresh Start Program, to qualify more people for tax relief!
You bet it is, especially if you’re a creative person. And if you don’t think creativity is enough to earn you a work-at-home income, this list should prove that you certainly can, as others are doing it right now:
1. Photography
You don’t have to take pictures of weddings or other events to make money as a photographer. You can also do it by taking photos for sites like Shutterstock and iStockphoto.
If someone uses your pics for a project, you get paid. Take enough pics that get sold, and you can start calling yourself a “professional photographer” while padding your income.
2. Jewelry
All jewelry isn’t purchased from some overpriced jeweler or department store, as many people buy handmade items online.
You can sell bracelets, necklaces, rings, earrings, or whatever type of jewelry you desire online through a site like Etsy. Since it’ll be handmade and original, you can charge a surprisingly high price for your work. Get good enough, and you may have so many requests for jewelry that you can’t keep up with your orders.
3. Cosmetology
Making other people pretty is an art, isn’t it? Of course, it is, and if you get your cosmetology license, you can use your home as a money-making salon.
This is excellent news if you’ve always had a dream of owning your salon, but had no idea how you’d afford the costs of opening one.

4. Catering
You may love to cook.
But the thought of being a chef and making someone else’s restaurant rich never tickled your fancy.
What about starting a catering business then? It’s a great way to earn an income doing what you love. And if your business explodes, who knows? It may get so popular and profitable that you decide to open your own restaurant one day.
5. Music
Have you always dreamed of being a music producer? You don’t have to work for a major record label to make money being one, as you can sell your beats online through sites like Airbit and Bandcamp.
6. Baked Goods
This smaller-scale work-from-home idea is ideal if you want to show off your cooking skills without catering huge events. Know that if you decide to sell baked goods like cookies, cakes, and pies, there’s still some regulation involved.
Are the ideas listed above the only opportunities for creative people looking to work from home? Of course not. Think of this list as something to help you see what’s out there.
You can do virtually anything to make money working from home, as there are plenty of profitable niches. Your best bet is to think of what you’re good at and what you’d like to do. Then, look it up online to get real-life examples of how others are making money doing the very same thing. Follow their lead and add your unique tweaks, and you should be good to go.
