There are many at-home jobs that pay over $50 an hour, which equates to roughly a six-figure annual salary. These types of six-figure work at home jobs fall into two categories: 1. High-paying traditional jobs, such as an actuary or information security analyst, which have been around for over a decade. Due to the scope of the work, they can be performed 100% remotely. Extensive experience and credentials are typically needed to land a job in this category. 2. Jobs that didn’t exist until more recently, or those for which demand has increased. Examples include app developer, podcast producer, SEO specialist and or social media manager. What’s beneficial about the second category is that you can build the skills required to land such a job in a short amount of time and with little to no money. In some cases, you can get paid to gain experience in a field by freelancing. For example, if you’re looking to land a job managing paid media, you can work on the side managing ads for small businesses. Similarly, instead of freelancing, you can build a business to gain experience. As an example, to land a high-paying job as an SEO specialist, start your own website with the intent to grow traffic via organic search. It can take one or two years to gain enough experience to land a job. But it’s still one of the fastest ways to quickly grow your income, in both the short-term and the long-term.
