It's summer, which means that the kids are going to be home for a few weeks. Family time is always important, but having more of it also means less time to work so that you can keep that roof over their heads. Fortunately, in this day and age, the internet has allowed many to work at home and many more to set their own hours and be their own boss. Some of those jobs are scams but most freelance jobs are quite legitimate. With some research, it's totally possible for you and anyone else to turn that hobby or skill of yours into something that pays you. Here are 7 freelance jobs that aren't scams that you can start on today.
Art
A lot of pessimistic people think that art is just a hobby and not a way to make a living. Well, thanks to the internet, you can actually make a living with your art! According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, over half of all artists are actually freelancers. Some of them will draw for others, some of them will design for others, and others will knit beautiful things and sell it on the internet through marketplaces like Etsy or Ebay. So if you have that creative itch, why not try turning your art into cash today?
Driving
Millions of Americans drive, but if you absolutely love driving, then there are many freelance jobs that need good drivers.
