Out of Pod Experience

There's a lot of employers that nowadays that allow their employees VPN from home, with periodic meetings in the office. White collar, cubicle-type positions. The only specific positions I'm aware of required a minimum of two years having worked in the office before being allowed to VPN from home though.

Some companies in the UK pay for Data Entry at home part time.

Be extremely careful when searching for that home paid job as there are a lot of companies out there that do no do what they say on the tin.

I have a friend who works from home part time compiling data entry sheets. Even though its only a few hours a week she gets paid a decent amount.

Some companies also do proof reading.

thanks, lots of great ideas!

Create an ebay store?

Outsourced call center agent, you know, the ones everybody hates because people in the HQ feel like you'd be stealing their jobs... umm...

Pet caretaker? Get to watch all the pets you're allergic to at once and even receive money for it... no wait, not the best idea, You might have to clean their cages, unless you want to take your revenge on them for being allergic to animal hair and let them starve.

Do you know how to fix small electronic items? That might do, I bet you've got some old neigbour lady who needs fixin'... o_O Came out a bit wrong but I believe you know what I'm talking about.

Uuuh... running low on ideas right now. maybe I can think of some more stuff laters.

Do you know how to code HTML? Some bloke always needs his Hello World Webpage redone.

Here's something outside of the box~

I'm an artist and I plan to take up commission art for furries at some point. People pay obscene sums of money for obscene art of their original characters (OCs). A close second is WoW character art, also obscene.

This (rest edited out because naked) is something I did as a commission back in 2009. I drew it freehand (digitally), but if you have a nice face as a reference, you can do a blatant trace (with some interpretation of course) and add some minor edits. Like the bunny ears and the animal nose, for example.

No idea how long you're going to be off your feet, so to speak, but if it's a while, that's not a bad thing. Art is a skill that is developed with practice. You'll make more as you go, and build a following, etc.

In the meantime, use whatever means you need: digital tracing and photo manipulation (both with Photoshop) or art using traditional paper and pencils / color.

You don't have to be good for people to commission art from you. They'll take any source of visualization of their imaginary characters. It's a real life roleplaying thing, I don't know how to describe it. Your patrons get to play the part of a highbrow art commissioner.

Except it's smut.

Also, don't call them drawings. Call them "works" or "pieces."

EVEmail me and we can swap emails to discuss links and examples of artists who draw for money, to get a sense of their asking prices and skill. Even the bad ones don't ask for less than $50.

I don't know what I'm waiting for, now that I think about it. Pretty sure I could pay for all my expenses several times over with this.

Make the an EVE Online store! Car magnets, refrigerator magnets, keychains, sweatshirts and t-shirts, mouse pads, post-it pads, beer glasses, beer steins, Rifter bottle openers, drone roach clips, Domi-shaped pretzel snacks, ship-shaped macaroni and cheese dinners. Coloring books and rub-it stencil things. The world awaits...!

(Not feasible for temporary work at home, I know. But still.... I need a Rifter car magnet).

Except the EVE merchandise thing would be a no-no.

And then a couple of weeks in, walk to the door to find some lawyer, representing an Icelandic company sueing you for Copyright infringement.
