Ten big money remote career alternatives to having a boss (that don’t take years to build):
You don’t need a ‘job’ in the old-fashioned sense anymore.
In fact, you’re generally better off these days if you secure your own income, on your terms, without being tied to any one employer.
It’s riskier to rely on a single employer (job) than multiple customers or clients (your own business).
Here are some ways to make money using your knowledge, personal passions and experiences:
1. Course-creation.
Create an online program composed of written material, audio and/or videos to teach people about a specific pain point.
Courses are powerful because they can be replicated and scaled, so the income generated is theoretically unlimited.
For example, if you’re good at Poker, you can teach people through an online course how to level up their game so they can make a living from playing professionally.
2. Personal coaching (+ therapy and healing).
Coaching is similar to consulting, but there is one main difference: your intention with clients is less about telling them what to do step by step.
