Top 5 High Paying Remote Jobs

Working from home is a very attractive option to some people, and can offer more freedom to people who can’t work office jobs. Here’s a list of some high-paying remote jobs:




  1. Freelance Journalism

    A freelance journalist works for him/herself. They can write articles for any publications by submitting article pitches to the editor. If the pitches get approved, then the freelancer writes the article. Because a freelance journalist can simultaneously work for as many publications as they want, the job comes with a certain freedom, making it an easy job to handle remotely. 


  2. Software development

    This technical skill job involves developing software which, with the right technology, can be done at home. It focuses on aspects of design, installation, and maintenance of software to help businesses. Writing code is a likely skill necessary for this job. If a software developer works as a freelancer, work flexibility increases and remote work becomes definite. 


  3. Therapy

    Therapists can station their office in their home and manage a home-based therapy practice. General, marriage, and family therapy can all be done out of a home-based office, which makes being a therapist an attractive option. Therapists need a masters degree and license to legally operate and see patients independently. 


  4. Travel Agency

    While it may seem the internet has outdated travel agents, many people still prefer to use travel agents to plan trips and vacations. Travel Agents can work remotely because most of the details in planning trips is easily managed with a laptop or desktop computer. Travel agents don’t need to be certified or licensed in most states, but some have specific requirements. 


  5. Bookkeeping

    Bookkeepers range in no college education to a few years. Bookkeepers will often work to review financial records, statements, history, and update financial statements. They often use bookkeeping software to help them manage their main organization and recording responsibilities. They may essentially financially manage a business or company, which is possible to do remotely or as a freelancer.
