Speak Up

Got a firm grasp on at least one language and access to a webcam? There’s more you can do with that than just host an online chatroom. “The demand for English teachers who have the patience and willingness to coach people over Skype is huge,” says Wilson.

While full English as a Second Language (ESL) accreditation is recommended, you can qualify for some jobs so long as you’re a native speaker. “Head to sites like Indeed, Learn4Good and Remote.co for the latest listings, but keep an eye on the fees offered as they’ll vary wildly.”

Love Guru

Fancy yourself as a Tinder pro? Believe it or not, your expertise is something many people are willing to pay for. Online dating coach Virginia Roberts charges upwards of £150 an hour for one-on-one video coaching.

“If you can put together an enticing profile, select flattering photos and craft messages that get results, you’re qualified to help out those who find it more difficult. It’s great fun, too.”

Travel Man

As the role of the travel agent diminishes on the high street, time-poor people are still willing to pay for someone to find them the cheapest deals and best locations. If you love to travel and have knowledge of when and where to find the best offers and the coolest hotspots, you’re already halfway there.

“Start with friends and family, then ask for referrals. You can also sign up on a site that connects you with travellers looking for inspiration, such as Plansify. You’ll earn £8-£20 an hour to answer three questions, or £30-£50 for an hour-long Skype session,” says Wilson.

Presentation Prowess

People either love or hate creating presentations, and there’s a surprisingly large amount of people willing to pay decent fees for someone to take the PowerPoint wrestling off their hands.

“Start small with friends and family, but word of mouth can spread easily if you create an online presence – the joy of presentation consulting and creation is that it can be done anywhere in the world, so connect with the largest audience you can,” says Adam Noar, founder of specialists Presentation Panda.
