140 Online Jobs You Can Do From Home

When people think about working at home, they often conjure up images of sitting all day in front of a computer doing online jobs. The reality is that while a computer might be part of the job, many work-at-home jobs aren’t done completely online. Some might require answering or making phone calls. Others might involve making deliveries or seeing clients outside the home.

With that said, there are many work-at-home jobs that can be done 100% from your computer using the Internet. There are even some online jobs you can do from your smartphone or tablet. Here’s a list of online work from home job ideas:

If you like to watch television or videos, and you can type quickly and accurately, captioning work might be fore you.

Mock Juror

If you’re interested in the legal process and want to get paid to help lawyers be their best in court, you can get paid to be a mock juror.  A mock juror isn’t part of a real jury, but instead someone who offers a testing ground for an attorney preparing a court case. Some mock juror work takes place in actual courtrooms, but more and more, with the use of audio, video and text, mock jurors can review court information online and then answer questions for the attorney. Here’s a few places you can check out for online mock juror jobs.
