Now before you go through the list, let me help you answer an important question that you may get asked when you’re in more advanced stages in your freelancing career

Why are freelance jobs more suitable for introverts than office jobs?

For introverts, freelancing is more suitable than office jobs because:

  • You can work from home and work in your own space.
  • You don’t have to deal with social interactions every day of the week; instead, it’s only at times that you want to meet up with clients and colleagues for business purposes.
  • you have the time to think about work properly and complete tasks carefully.
  • Better quality work because you’re able to truly focus on the task at hand.
  • You have no time constraints or deadlines that your office environment may impose on you at times.
  • It’s easier for introverts to communicate with clients for business purposes because they can choose their own hours, pace, and even location to meet up.

Answering this question, let’s dive right in for the jobs…

12 Suitable Freelance/Work at Home Jobs for Introverts 

1) Web Developer

A web developer designs and creates websites so they can help companies market themselves online more effectively.

You’ll have to come up with creative ways to display content and interactive features such as videos and social networking feeds.

In this role, you get to use your problem-solving skills and ability to conduct research so that you can figure out the best way for a company to appeal to its target audience.

This is an excellent job for introverts who enjoy working alone but still want a sense of community because they do work with web designers, content writers, marketing teams, and other developers.

2) Graphic Designer

A graphic designer creates logos, brand identities, website designs, marketing materials like pamphlets and brochures, infographics to explain complex data in a simple way, book covers, or illustrations for children’s books.

A large part of your job is being creative and coming up with innovative visual solutions for companies that will help them market themselves online.

This is also an excellent position for creative introverts who grew up doodling and drawing but have a desire to build a successful business for themselves.

3) Blogger

Blogging is definitely one of the most independent jobs you can find online, because you’re the one who’s responsible for coming up with original blog posts that attract visitors, promoting them through various platforms online, Doing SEO, and then analyzing your traffic to see what works and what doesn’t.

This is a great opportunity for introverts who enjoy writing but don’t like having to deal with people day in and day out.

4) Affiliate Marketer

If you’re good at persuading people to buy products or sign up for services, then affiliate marketing is another freelance job that will suit the quiet introvert inside you.

You have to come up with unique content and product recommendations so that you can build a rapport with your audience and drive as much traffic as you can to a certain website or product.

As an affiliate, you then earn a commission every time someone buys something from their site.

Most (if not all) of the persuading in the case of online affiliate marketing is done behind the screen of your laptop, which is great because you won’t need to engage in any awkward small talk or banter with clients.

5) Copywriter

A copywriter’s job is to take information about products and services and present them in the most persuasive way so that customers can actually understand what they’re getting when they buy from a company’s website.

Depending on the industry you work in, your duties may be to create content for social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram or write blog posts.

Since this is an area where you need to truly master your writing skills and knowledge about marketing online, it’s a great role for introverts who naturally have a knack for explaining the complicated in a simple way.

6) Virtual Bookkeeper

Bookkeeping can be one of the most tedious tasks someone can do in their office but working virtually means bookkeepers get to sit in front of their laptop all day and enter data instead of writing or recording it by hand.

As a virtual bookkeeper, you’ll also need to know how to use accounting software so that you can prepare reports for your clients.

You’re still doing the same type of work as regular bookkeepers do but the only difference is that it’s online and more private.

7) Proofreader

When you proofread text, you’re basically checking it for any typos, grammatical errors, etc.

One of the best things about being a freelance proofreader is that you don’t need to work in an office but can work anywhere as long as you have access to high-speed internet.

8) Social Media Manager

Social media managers are the people behind all those posts you see on your Facebook and Instagram feeds about products, events, and services.

Since this role is so widespread nowadays, social media managers have to be at the top of their game because they need to keep up with trends in order to be able to come up with content that would resonate with their audience.

One of the best things about being a social media manager is that you get to work at home on your laptop, which means you can set your own hours and even take care of your children before putting them to bed if needed.

9) Amazon Seller

Yes, you too can earn a decent living from the giant from home by being a seller on the platform!

When you sell as an Amazon seller, you basically have to buy low and then resell the items on their marketplace.

Also, If you have expertise on something that can be physically sold, then you can manufacture it and sell it on Amazon.

As long as it’s something that can be sold online, you’re good to go!

10) Virtual Assistant

When people mention virtual assistants, they usually think of administrative assistants who do the oddest tasks for their bosses like making travel arrangements or doing research.

Being a virtual assistant is nothing like that, in fact, your job will pretty much depend on the business you’re working for and the skills you have.

What I find great about this job is that it’s an opportunity to learn all about the business from your personal experience while getting paid to assist in it, By the time you feel confident enough, you can start your own, provided you chose to assist in a business you’re interested in!

11) Video Editor/ Youtuber

We live in an age when videos are considered as important as written content if not more! so it makes sense to list video editing as one of the top jobs for introverts who don’t want to work in an office.

As a video editor, you will have the opportunity to work on movies, advertisements, or even corporate videos.

You want a better suggestion? You can make and creatively edit your own videos on YouTube without leaving home for an office job!

12) Dropshipping

One of the most lucrative jobs for introverts who don’t want to work in an office is dropshipping!

Dropshipping simply means selling products from a manufacturer or wholesaler without having them in stock.

The only thing you have to do is order from them when your customers make an order and you get to keep the difference.

This is a great business for introverts because it eliminates the worry of handling inventory and means you can focus on marketing and promoting your store instead.
