Be your own boss

Most jobs are now going online because employees need to work remotely from home but you can also do the work as an independent business owner, running your own business from home.

The difference is that as a business owner you can quote whatever rate you want, manage your own time and then invoice for the work you do. This can be as an hourly rate or on a fixed regular rate.
