The new generation is growing without letting go of gadgets, and we cannot imagine life without the Web. And the labor market is paying attention to new technical opportunities. Going to the office is also not so necessary – you can earn money literally lying on the couch. What professions have “moved” online and is it difficult to master them?
In the days of squeaking modems and low Internet speed, studying and earning money on the Web was out of the question. And now it is used not only to find the necessary information, but also to study, earn money, blog and develop personal brands.
Previously, a person from a small village was limited in choosing a job. Now we can study and work from anywhere in the world.
The number of online professions is increasing every day. Analysts predict that by 2025, 70% of the global population will be working remotely for at least five days a month. And even now, many companies prefer not to spend resources on renting offices, offering employees to work from where it is convenient for them.
Young people are increasingly reluctant to choose working professions
At the same time, distance learning opens up endless possibilities for each of us.
Young people are increasingly reluctant to choose working professions: many are attracted by the opportunity to earn money without leaving home. Studies have shown that today every third child wants to become a blogger. This is a natural development of events: the number of jobs in some areas is reduced, people in production are replaced by machines and artificial intelligence. This means that there is more space for remote work.
From marketer to accountant
The most demanded positions in the online format are those related to the field of marketing, management, design, IT industry and finance.
So, marketers are engaged in the creation of strategies, research markets, analyze consumer interests, promote products and services.
Marketing is suitable for people with both a mathematical and humanitarian mindset. A remote marketer spends about 4-6 hours a day on work and earns an average of 40-60 thousand per month.
You can learn this profession online. The main thing is to take the time to find a decent course and not to succumb to offers like “we will teach everything in three hours.”
Future marketers study analytics, markets, consumer behavior, social networks, tools and techniques for creating content.
Another in-demand profession sales manager, suitable for sociable people who know how to “hook” a client even in a telephone conversation. Their main task is to sell goods and services, as well as increase the number of customers.
Most of the sales manager’s working time is negotiations and communication with clients. The volume of tasks can be different, and this directly affects the length of the working day. The level of income, meanwhile, depends on the number of transactions. The advantage of this work is that you can start it without the presence of special education.
Oddly enough, with the development of the economy, the online environment has become extremely popular financiers and accountants. The people in these positions manage money and investments. To perform such work, a highly specialized education is required, which can be obtained both online and offline.
The working day of an accountant or financier is standard – 8 hours. The average salary is 40 thousand rubles.
From designer to programmer
Designers are also in demand in the online market. Their services are needed, for example, when designing leaflets, catalogs, websites, banners and presentations. Many designers work on freelance – they find orders on their own. In this case, their earnings directly depend on professionalism, a good portfolio and the number of clients. The average income, as a rule, is not less than 30-40 thousand rubles.
To become a designer, you need to carefully study the work in graphic editors. You will need to show perseverance, develop an aesthetic taste, master time management skills and develop communication skills.
As for the profession programmer, then its popularity among employers is simply impossible to deny in our time. Specialists in this field are engaged in the creation of websites, application development, as well as engineering programming and software analytics.
The average salary of an IT specialist is 50-60 thousand rubles. However, income in some cases can significantly exceed these figures – it all depends on the skill level and type of programming. To work in this area, as a rule, specialized education is required.
Pitfalls of remote professions
Working remotely is, of course, very different from working in an office. On the Web, it is important to be able to build business communication, clearly interact with the employer and the team. After all, you will not have to communicate in person, but in messengers (not everyone likes to listen and send audio messages, and because of the little things you will not organize a conference in ZOOM). There are also differences in the legal registration of cooperation. Because this format is not suitable for everyone.
When working online, self-discipline is important, which will allow you not to be distracted by household chores and complete orders on time. At the same time, sometimes remote work can take literally the whole day and leave no energy for personal life and communication with family.
In order to prevent imbalance, it is necessary to competently manage the daily routine, leaving time for rest and recovery. In order to avoid burnout at remote work, it is recommended to devote no more than 50 hours a week. Career is important, but it is only part of our life. Wherever we build it: on the Web or in office.
