Are you someone who prefers to stay up all night and sleep during the day? If so, you're not alone. Many of us feel much more productive and active throughout the night.
Unfortunately, that doesn't often mix well with work. Most companies like to keep 9 to 5 business hours and expect their workers to be ready to go at those times, too.
Fortunately, if remote work is what you're looking for, you may find way more options for working at night than you would if you were seeking a job at a brick and mortar company.
In today's post, I'm sharing with you a list of six remote jobs that you should think about if working at night is what you'd prefer to do.
6 Remote Jobs That Are Perfect For Night Owls
Overnight Customer Service
There are many companies out there that promise their customers 24/7 service. And for this reason, they always have a need for customer service representatives who can work evening or overnight hours.
These companies may have you handling phone calls, chats, emails, or all three while working at home.
Some types of companies that often promise 24/7 customer support are in the healthcare, tech support, and e-commerce industries.
A handful of companies known for offering overnight or late night hours to customer service representatives include:
AnswerNet
Drips
ISPN
LiveOps
Freelance Writing
One of the best things about freelance writing is that it's usually remote work AND you can work whenever you want as long as you meet your deadlines.
Freelance platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, and Freelancer offer lots of writing opportunities to work with clients worldwide, allowing you to set your own schedule and meet deadlines that fit your night owl lifestyle.
In addition to the freelance platforms listed above, you can try applying with the following sites that are almost always looking for freelance writers:
Textbroker
Writer Access
Valnet Freelance
Content Remarketing
Transcription
Remote transcription jobs involve listening to audio files and then accurately typing out what you hear. It is not quite as easy as it sounds — you will need to be patient, a good listener, and have above average typing, spelling, and grammar skills.
That said, you can almost always do transcription work any hour of the day! Similar to the freelance writing jobs listed above, you can work whenever you want provided you are able to meet the deadlines set for the files you receive to transcribe.
Also, many transcription companies will accept beginners to do the work. The ones that accept beginners don't usually pay as well, but it's a good way to get practice in the industry and determine if transcription is a fit for you.
If you are interested in doing transcription work from home so you can work in the evening or at night, here are some companies to consider:
Rev
Focus Forward
SpeakWrite
Daily Transcription
Virtual Assisting
As businesses expand globally, many entrepreneurs and professionals need virtual assistants who can take care of their admin tasks outside the usual 9-5 business hours.
Virtual assistants do all kinds of things for their clients, including but not limited to managing emails, scheduling appointments, data entry, and even social media management.
This option may be perfect for night owls who are organized, detail-oriented, and enjoy being of help to others. It's also great if you love variety in your work, because you never know what tasks you might be assigned.
Some companies that often look for remote virtual assistants include:
Fancy Hands
Smith.ai
Belay
Time, Etc.
Wing
Online Tutoring
There are many students in varying time zones that need academic help! So if you like working outside traditional business hours or at night, tutoring might be ideal.
Students almost always need help in English, math, and test prep, so these particular subjects are often in demand for tutors.
There are also many companies that look for English Second Language tutors to help kids or even professional adults in countries outside the US learn the English language.
If you think you'd qualify to teach or tutor (most companies will require teaching or tutoring experience and/or a degree), check out the following companies:
VIPKid
Brainfuse
Tutor.com
Studypool
Social Media Managers & Moderators
As I'm sure you know, social media never sleeps! For this reason, businesses and brands often require 24/7 engagement to respond to messages, weed out offensive content, block/ban problematic users, schedule postings, and even stay up to date on analytics.
Working remotely as a social media manager or moderator means you may get the opportunity to work late at night doing any or all of the above-mentioned tasks.
The requirements to do this will depend on the company you work for. Some want to know you've got past experience, while others will be more lenient.
Check for openings with the following companies if social media management and moderation interest you:
LiveWorld
Metaverse Mod Squad
ICUC
So as you can see, you do have some options for remote work if you are a night owl! As always, I wish you the best of luck if you pursue anything I've listed above.
