work from home

[envo]

I'm looking for viable ideas like content writing or virtual assistant type deals for my brother.

He is basically stuck in a job that he doesn't like and is killing him (literally and figuratively) and since I'm kind of in the internet space, was wondering if anyone here has any tips for working from home and generating an income.

The most I know is what I suggested above, but was wondering if there's anything else someone can suggest.

It doesn't have to be online stuff, as long as it doesn't include things like kids (he hates kids for some reason) or huge amounts of travel.

any suggestions?

I didn't mention what he can do specifically to elicit a wider range of choices for him to investigate. Let's assume he has matric and that's it. Experience is solid enough not to be judged as school boy though. I suggested programming but he told me to f-off lol

lol no thanks. any network marketing scheme ends up to be some sort of pyramid thing.

the problem with that is the constant travel though. maybe something like drop shipping?

Sounds like he doesn't want to do anything. Why is the work killing him literally and figuratively?

Sounds like he's having a tough time at work and either isn't telling the boss to back the **** off with the workload or is lazy and putting stuff off and it's catching him out.

If you want a wide range of stuff with a matriculant then he can be a programmer, photographer, content writer, take surveys, run a blog, clean your house for cash, make you coffee, babysit peoples pets, be an outsourced accountant, etc etc etc - basically any job on the planet. If we had a gist of his skillset we could help more - for instance - if he has not thumbs then making coffee wouldn't be ideal or even worth mentioning but if he has some finance skills he can do peoples tax.

Without some specific skills or experience you're pretty much stuck with blogger+adwords or maybe Mturk?
