anyone here working part-time from home? need ideas for flexible remote gigs

Not gonna lie, I’ve been scraping by doing survey sites, AI labeling, and the occasional writing gig. It’s messy and takes hustle, but at least I don’t have to be on the phone getting yelled at

i do transcription and sometimes user testing. It’s not the best money in the world but at least I can do it in bed at 2am without talking to anyone. You just have to be okay with inconsistent work and hunting for new gigs sometimes

i’m in the same boat and honestly it’s a mix of things for me—some part-time email support work (~15 hrs/week, no calls), plus occasional content moderation gigs. Nothing glamorous but it pays the bills and I can work late nights if I want

I do AI data labeling. Pay varies a lot but 100% no calls and super flexible hours. Good for filling gaps if you don’t want to talk to humans.

Honestly I’ve done a mix of AI labeling, survey sites, and light VA stuff that are nonphone or phone jobs

I’m doing part-time email support ~15 hrs/week and some freelance research gigs. Both let me pick hours as long as I hit deadlines. It took a while to find decent clients, but once you get them it’s manageable. Definitely possible to avoid calls and keep it flexible!

I’m juggling a few things right now:

• AI data tagging (Lionbridge-type gigs, fully async)
• Short-form content writing on Upwork (lower pay but flexible)
• Online tutoring (non-video text chat options if you look hard)

Super cobbled-together but it keeps me afloat at ~20 hrs/week.

Totally feel you on avoiding the call center nightmare 😩 I’ve been doing freelance editing + part-time customer support via email only (no calls). Around 20 hrs/week and I get to set my schedule as long as I hit daily ticket targets. Pay’s not amazing but beats phones

I’m doing transcription about 10–15 hrs/week. It’s slow going at first but you can pick your own hours, no calls at all

I do part-time virtual assistant work for a couple of small business owners - mostly email management and calendar stuff, all async, around 15–20 hrs/week. It’s not amazing pay but solid enough and super flexible. Also tried AI data labeling (Remotasks, Toloka) when I wanted something even more chill with no calls at all, though rates vary.

same boat as u tbh. ended up doing captioning work for online courses. pays $20/hr, no calls, just deadlines. it’s nice to just throw headphones on and go.

been doing part-time design work on Canva for small biz owners. logos, social posts, simple stuff. async most of the time unless someone needs revisions fast.

I write short product reviews + do simple SEO gigs on the side. found some solid clients last year and stuck w/ them. only like 10 hrs/week but pays decent.

try text-based customer support gigs. some companies let u work 4-hour shifts, no voice calls. I do 3 days a week just for some side cash.

I do virtual assistant stuff for a coach—mostly emails, scheduling, uploading to Notion. 15 hrs a week and she lets me pick my hours 👏 zero calls except our weekly check-in.
