Hey, Rach-1…arę you asking for ideas for finding part-time work from home jobs?
For starters you could also sit locally, on weekends, for example.

You can search and filter for remote openings on various job sites, depending on which country you’re in. There often are sales jobs that can be done remotely.
Type ‘digital nomad’ into facebook and there’s a load of groups you can join to see what type of work others are doing remotely.

Hi
I’ve done sits already I mean to help more people
I have to turn so many down
If I got a new job that enabled me to earn sane money but work remotely I could do more sits
If you’ve tried applying for remote work and have had trouble landing any, you might need to become more competitive skills wise and/or in your ability to apply and come across as a compelling candidate. Like any written application should be strong, because that’s typically the first thing that an employer will see from candidates.
FWIW, I’ve hired remote folks for many years and those jobs are much more in demand than onsite jobs. That’s because candidates from all over the country or many countries apply. Companies that hire remotely often can be more selective. That can vary with the work, of course.
In my experience, when I hire remotely, I can easily get five to 10 times more applicants vs. when hiring onsite. I usually have our recruiters stop accepting applications within a few days, because we can’t handle an endless flood of candidates.
Sales as you mention can be an option and also customer support and for instance interviewers could be options for remote work without requiring formal skills.
However this could vary dependent on the legislation in your/ different countries. I can imagine some companies would like to ensure that their employees are in countries where the labor laws are in compliance with the company policies. So that could be a hurdle to take into consideration.
For companies that operate legitimately, they usually address this without the candidate needing to do anything, because they’ll note in the job ad where candidates can be based, and/or before posting an ad (say on LinkedIn or such), they can designate where individual ads will be shown. Like my company doesn’t show ads to people in countries where we don’t want applicants.
Companies that operate in legit ways often have already done the red tape needed to hire folks in X countries or states. That’s because you’re required to do that first, before you even hire a single person from that country or state, for example. (Sometimes companies will do new red tape if they really want someone from a country or state where they’re not already registered, but that’s usually higher-end talent.)
Some companies are too small or early stage to operate legitimately, but those typically aren’t great places to work remotely. They’ll end up doing things that are illegal, like not paying taxes to the right jurisdictions, etc.
Hi @Rach-1
You want to house-sit, you need a job, you’re turning down offers of sits… why not set yourself up as a paid house-sitter, (obviously not through THS, since you can’t request payment for THS sits)? See paid sitting locally as your job, and save THS sits further afield in destinations of your choice as your ‘holiday’ sits. For further income, you could also consider offering things like gardening, painting and decorating whilst on a sit if you’re comfortable doing those sorts of things.
