Administrative and clerical jobs are one area where special skills may be necessary. Some jobs will require a degree or at least experience. However, there are still many opportunities for freelance work for people without skills.
Many times these types of jobs will include data entry, phone work and sometimes document creation and management. The Internet has opened many possibilities for freelance administrative work and the income potential is quite nice in this niche. One of the most popular jobs that are available on the Internet is Virtual Assistant. Basically, a virtual assistant is someone who does all the administrative work for another person and the assistant can do them at the comfort of their home.
I know of many mothers who actually making $500-$800 a month just working 2-3 hours a day as a virtual assistant. While that may not be a lot but it’s a good sum for the mothers who want to play a part to contribute to their family financially.
