Looking for jobs that you work alone without interaction with people
You have a reason either you’re introvert
Or you feel productive working by yourself
At the same time you pursue a job that makes you earn good money
Working alone doesn’t deprive you from having a decent job
So jobs that require socialization are not a measurement for success
That’s why I am going to discuss below jobs that you work alone and make money
Blogger
Blogging is always a dream for so many bloggers who don’t want to work anymore
Why it is a dream because blogging doesn’t require any investment
It is cheap to start blogging all you need is a reliable webhosting
Some bloggers believe blogging is fun and cultivates your imagination
What’s more important is blogging is one of the jobs that you work alone
That’s what I listed it on top of all jobs below
Blogging is challenging but the job itself has no guidelines
Some bloggers managed to make money with great products or eCourses
Just writing great sales pages and taking leads as email subscribers
Then convincing those subscribers to be buyers
While bloggers who don’t possess this creativity talent tend to drive traffic to their blogs and make some money from advertisement and affiliate marketing
IT (Information Technology) Job
What comes to your mind when I say an IT job
I know the answer, you would think about the word “Programmer”
Actually programmer has so many bad reputation
Some people think they are nerd and introverts
In reality I am a programmer and I bet you I’ve met so many peers in my career
They posses sociable personalities and really cheerful
This misconception about programmers came from the old programming languages
What is called first generation like machine languages
Nowadays fifth programming languages generation don’t require all this hard mental skills
Programmers are normal people, it is an open career for everyone to learn and join
I am also a programmer and it is now a normal job like any other job
Actually programming job is really fun and requires you to use your mind to think about logic when writing an piece of code
In fact, programming jobs tend to be one of the jobs that you work alone most of the time
Keep in mind, you have to interact with people during any project
Sometimes in big software projects, the software code is split between many programmers to work on
In other words, I can say expect 80% of your time working on your laptop
While 20% you have to work in a team
Flipper
Flipper is a term that was emerged recently especially with the born of the internet
Simply you buy things for cheap from your own sources and sell them for high prices
This is similar to buying cigarettes where they are sold cheaper in some US states then sell them with high price in some other states
This flipping business doesn’t require any degree you just need some cash to start with
I have a friend called Rob who with his wife manifested this flipping business and became expert at making $100,000 a year
That’s why they decided to teach what they know and put it in a
They are making $100,000 a year just from flipping
That’s why they put together a course on flipping things to teach you their experience
Freelance Writer
When you hear freelance writing jobs it means hiring someone online
I could say 99% of all the freelance writer are ghost writers
Meaning they have never met their clients
This is one of the jobs that you work alone completely
Even your prospect client don’t discuss his task with you
What happens you keep a sample of previous writing tasks on all freelancing sites
What if you don’t have previous clients and so no previous work
In this case, write many topics and upload it for clients to decide if you are good fit to hire you
Again freelance writers make good money
I have seen some charge up to $350 per article which takes 2-3 hours of their time
Video games tester
Although I myself don’t like playing games especially animation ones
I see lot of peers fascinated about playing video games for long hours
Playing video games will enforce being alone

Anyway if you are interested to try working as a video games tester then you can find many video games to be tested listed daily on the sites below

Professional sleeper
Working as a professional sleeper is one of the rare jobs to find
What happens is that from time to time mattress companies would ask for volunteers to try their mattresses for 3 to 6 months
In this job you don’t interact with anybody while sleeping
Food taster
Food taster has many types of jobs that you work alone
For example, you go to restaurant as a customer and provide your feedback
The average pay is between $30,000 to $60,000 per year
Sanitation worker
Sanitation worker is someone who drives truck to collect garbage
Sometimes your jobs requires you to work alone
Nowadays to save time while collecting garbage you drive the car
And another person sitting on the end of the trunk opening picks up the garbage

Working as a photographer can be one of the jobs that you work alone in case you take pictures of your personal sightseeing
At the same time, if you work as a photographer taking pictures of models then expect to work in a social groups and it won’t be a good fit for you

House sitter
I knew about this house sitter job recently
Some houses require people to live in for seasonal period like 3 to 6 months
It is not related to getting these houses targeted by burglars
The reason may be related to maintaining these houses
This is a job that you work 100% alone not seeing any person at all
By the way you may not see even the owner

Babysitting
I was hesitant to list babysitting as a job that you work alone
You may babysit toddlers that keep talking during your stay
At the same time, babysitting infants will be more caring less talking
What is important is that this babysitting career is very rewarding especially if you accept families dropping off their kids
In one session, you can babysit many kids together and multiply your earnings per babysitting sessions
Actually this is possible with the use of Care.com

The rest of doing the job itself you are completely by yourself
There are so many tasks around the house like installing new flush in your washroom, installing new garage door opener, painting your home, fixing your leaking pipes and many more
If you are interested in working on these small tasks you can really make good money
Anyway the top best website for find and posting tasks around house is TaskRabbit

You can work as a social media manager where you even don’t have to see your clients
There are so many companies that would like to hire someone who can take care of all their social media profiles
Of course you don’t do it manually you use automated tools
For example, Pinterest has so many tools but the famous one is called TailWindPro
By using that tool you can automate pins for months to come

Nowadays there are so many companies that are looking to hire employees on a contract basis
But they don’t want to hire in a formal ways
They see that the kind of tasks are kind of micro jobs that can be done anywhere
Like working without even seeing the office
Once you complete your micro job you are released without any obligation from the company side
Think about it as working in a freelancing sites but you are always hired by companies and not individuals
