Do you find it hard to work with others, or maybe you suffer from anxiety? Below I provide a list of ways you can work from home with little to no interaction with people.
Some personality types find comfort in working alone. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Although I would never suggest complete isolation for anyone, it’s good to interact with people from time to time.
Having a healthy balance of human interaction will serve you well in the long run. A work environment differs quite a bit than a regular social setting like going to a party. In a work environment, you must interact with your boss and or co-workers. If your job is demanding, this can lead to stress and anxiety. This is one of the reasons why starting your own business and working from home is becoming more appealing to people.
All the work from home alone jobs listed below requires a computer. And the ability to sit in front of a screen for long periods. So for your health, safety, and personal wellness, I recommend taking breaks. Maybe even set your alarm to remind you to take a break every 3 hours. You can also work at your local library or a coffee shop to change up the environment.
Transcriber
Transcribers listen to audio files and type out the words they hear. If you’re a detailed person and have a strong ability to make sense of speech, then transcribing might be the gig for you. With the growing demand for text-based information, the market for transcribing is growing.
Search engines work by crawling and indexing(basically means finding and looking at the information on your webpage) a text-based website. So if a site wants to rank on Google and any other search engine, they need a website with text. Many people are even turning their Youtube videos into textbase information to be more competitive online. As of today, speech to text systems are not able to flawlessly transcribe audio files. Even the best speech-to-text systems still have a hard time with accents, pronunciation, and just lousy sound quality.
