Hey there Jess – I must admit. I did a lot more copy editing before newspapers and mags started folding left and right. Still, I do get smaller-scale projects from individuals (rather than big companies), especially from those contacts I’ve made through previous jobs and online. I think what I want to convey here is that, no matter how badly big business is doing, there will always be individuals eager to outsource the more tedious stuff.

I’m surprised that you say there is a high demand for copy editing. I’m a copy editor and can’t find much work that pays a livable wage. I guess the low pay would be OK for a side job, but as more people (and companies) view copy editing as a side job, people like me who make it our main job can’t earn a living.

I tried 10 – got a cleaning job – kept me fit too. Unfortunately they thought they owned me and didn’t agree to a perfectly reasonable request for a day off – so that was an ex-job then! These days I focus more on building up my own websites which pay me income from Adsense and other affiliates – it takes a while to get going but in the end its a real business not a work at home job. My aim is retirement on passive income not a job at home or elsewhere

This is a smart, creative list of side jobs! You know, with your background in being paid to blog, companies will definitely consider you an expert and listen to what you have to say. There is money to be made there! Freelancers Union offered a $30 class that covered social media overall and I found that provided some insight and research to help me talk to clients. While I’m more of a branding & marketing writer for retail and service industries, I’ve picked up a new industry (technology) to help keep the work flowing in this economy. I hope you will you share this particular journey with your readers!
